He is from Finland, I am speechless. Here is snow enough outside, that would be better environment for a cross-country skiing than Zwift.

But it's cold outside!

Yeah 1.5x watt multiplier!

Hey, that's less than I thought. Could pretty successfully 'ride' in C on genuine power.

Actually here weather is changing. Instead of snowing last couple days it's been raining and melted snow fast. Little bit weird winter is been in here.

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!

It'd be good preparation for a multi-day trip, so a very good idea in your case

That is weird. I would have thought you're busy removing snow from your garden and whizzing about on frozen lakes!

We had snow more than enough and then it partially melted away and then it heavily snowing again and partially melted away again, it comes and it goes. Now the temperature is +2 - +3°C. This whole week it should raining, that's what forecast tell's, after that we will see what comes.

OK. That game I mentioned regarding TdZ. I just played it and decided to see if anyone else wants to.

The idea is this. Get the highest "improvement" in position that you can during a TdZ stage and report it here, ideally with a screenshot of your highest and lowest positions. It can be any stage, any length and if enough people want to play we can do a "GC" table of stages. If nobody wants to play, I win. What's not to like? If you tag me, I will collate the results.

So I started pretty much right at the back of a C ride. Logged in with about 1.5 minutes to go before the start. Starting screenshot position 718, best screenshot 109. I didn't quite make the top 100. Was fun though. A few gaps but mostly drafting through riders for 20 minutes
So Stage 1. 609 is the number to beat.

Tried this by accident on Stage 2: I forgot it was starting and was busy having a work conversation. Started 720-ish out of 748 and made it up to 200 quickly, then the double draft and groups kicked in. Finished 168th, so only 552.

552 is good. I just did a bimble round stage 2 but only snagged about 200 this time.

Already missed one TDZ stage, likely to miss another with busy weekend, moving lad and ongoing projects to complete before Tuesday

Just did it as a mostly easy Zone 2 today - although I couldn't help myself from sprinting a little at the end as the guy I was targeting looked like he wanted to beat me and that could not be allowed to happen

@CXRAndy and @Norry1 have you noticed the numbers for today’s race on ZP? All our averages below 1 minute are wrong. I haven‘t seen/noticed that before in a race, have you?

My real data is available under the Analysis tab.

Hi Steen. They are usually wrong when the lightning flash is green. They are corrected over time and then the flash goes blue.

Good race by the way

 

[Norry1]

We have some unexpcted time free and without our dog in March so plan to take an early-year holiday somewhere new.

We are thinking of Malaga. Anyone have any observations or suggestions?

I'll ask on the main forums as well but I know how to "interpret" replies from you lot

Ahh OK, never noticed that flash had different colours. Just thought of it as a symbol for power.

Yes, they update later Steen. Can be many hours before sprint figures are correct
