Unfortunately it's Cubs night for Andrew and I really ought to finish off the project I'm working on, for invoicing this month...

GPLama’s take on Scotland. Looks brilliant, I reckon. All that’s really missing from Zwift now is a ~10 minute hard climb.

Pretty much all climbs are 10 minutes of pain for me

Thanks for sharing. The Crit courses look really good.

Of course, there's Bologna, the Volcano and Leith/Keith Hills, but in the main, the hills in Zwift are ~5mins or 20mins+...

A great showing from the Cyclechat B team last night! Well done fellas

The epic kom with radio tower is good for racing because of the virtually vertical wall at the end.

I think it’s a shame they don’t incorporate more of the longer hills into WRTL.

One of the ZRL playoff semi-finals is going to be a 4-rider team hill repeats. I'm guessing it'll be in the new Scotland map since Eric mentioned in his Scotland post that one of the routes would be very suitable for hill repeats.

It would be interesting if they did as every time they have a 20 min plus climb scores of people bust their Cats!

Yeah, there's a route that takes you through a hill and descent and then you do a 180 on a roundabout. Do the whole thing in reverse, and another 180 on a roundabout at the other end... And so on.

I've just been looking at that. The first part is a gravel climb. That's going to be horrible on a road bike. But at least it's only the lead-in. Or is it?

I think I should probably step back from this conversation at this point in the spirit of diplomacy

More than happy to start a new one about the busting of cats though!… One of ours seems to have timed his morning sh!t perfectly to coincide with when I’m making my breakfast of late. And I’m not a big believer in coincidences!

It's even funnier than that. One side of the hill is tarmac and the other is gravel.

Where is the facepalm icon when you need it the most?

I wish they just made a gravel track world? Or expanded the jungle in watopia
I know it's stupid but I hate it, and changing bikes is such a faff

Do I recall correctly that at some point they did say something about a gravel-only world? Wasn't it called Gravel Mountain or something like that?
