I will sign up but I'm going to be abroad for the start of it (first few days), but might grab some of the later stages. We'll see how it fits in.

I haven't done a whole one yet mainly because of other commitments. e.g. I don't think I'd have done very well in ZRL this week with all that accumulated fatigue in my legs and I want to do as well as I can in my final CCC round.

Looks easy enough

In all seriousness - I don't think I'm up for a 2-week event. But not 100% sure yet. I did the entirety of France, Britain and Watopia so would be nice to complete the lot.

Would much more prefer Tour de Splitters and race with you lot. Do we know the dates for ZRL finals? Do they end in February?

Just arrived in the post. Good motivation

I may drop zrtl given i will hardly ever race and sign up this instead for, hopefully, a performance boost. Though the finale is a bit daunting!

Stage 3 looks suspiciously like it might be a TT up the Alpe...
Fortunately I can't do it because I'm away from 24-26 Feb. Phew!

OMG! So a guy using a Skiing simulator thing and artificially boosting his watts to race A CAT ZRL - WTH!

You get the picture from the comments under his youtube video

Its a bit strange the WTRL rules do not restrict participation to people riding bikes/hand-bikes.

Hmm... I don't think there normally would be the need for that as you produce a lot less power on a skierg. That said, a fit cross country skier could probably compete in D, but I'm not sure. This guy also inflated his numbers by the look of it.

Yeah, software multiplier?

Yup. But here's a question: What if he didn't? If he just used the actual skierg data, without any manipulation, would you say that's fine? I actually think I would.

Yeah 1.5x watt multiplier!
