Zwift Chat

I'd actually be up for that. Maybe not as extreme as the Zwift Insider ones, maybe only 2-3 races a night with a slightly longer gap between each, but having lots of short races would keep the interest up for someone like me who normally doesn't see any of the other riders after the first minute of the race because you've all disappeared off into the distance!

You could have one week where we do 3 routes all finishing at the top of climbs, but then the next week it's all 5km flat races but we do them on TT bikes so it's not a guaranteed bunch finish, then the week after we come up with something else...

Sounds good. Be interesting how hard people go in each race so it would be quite tactical.

Surely every ride at least an hour to punish the sprinters🤔😁

We will just sit at the back and wait😁

Looks like Zwift is rolling out 'video screenshots'. You hit a button and it saves last 15s. Cool.

I've seen that Eric Min has been posting snippits on his Strava feed recently.

My Bluetooth button thingy has been playing up recently - need to get that sorted!

Good. Let them test it for the PC master race

Guys surely that can’t be it for ideas? Let’s have a few more opposing concepts on the table please!

So far we have:

• Single stage days but all over an hour
• Tiny races, multiple per day and multi-week league
• Mass start points GC
• Mass start time GC
• Handicap based on baseline TT
• Single stage days with mixed course styles through the series

There must be some more options to come?

Handicap calculated based on how many poached eggs one can eat in one sitting.

Surely you mean hard-boiled?

I wanted to be original.

I choose to take this literally

What about we do a handicap system based on bike choice. As get MTB bs get buffalo bike, zwift aero for C's and Tron for ds on a flat road surface.

Team TTT with mixed groups of each team racing each other.

North v south team racing (northern Ireland will join the smaller team)

Downhill racing

Relay races

Blindfolded races (I'll think this through in more detail)

👍
But not everyone has the buffalo bike, and is it crap enough? Maybe the default CX bike?

What about a weight handicap? We all start at the same time but with agreed weights.

Should be pretty easy for everyone to agree on the right values, I’d have thought.
