Out of interest Martin, are you allowed to do weight training, like squats and deadlifting?
I don't know if these types of exercise would shorten the replacement joint prematurely
Yes I am allowed to do them.
I think it is the repated impacts of running that causes micro damage.
PS - I have a chihuahua so I only walk it round the block - not miles. I look proper hard walking a fat black chow round the estate
You want one of these
I read the write up earlier .... the breakaways just never seem to work on Zwift do they for some reason? Seems if the person on the break pushes (say) 3.2 w/kg then even if the chap at the front of the pack is pushing the same somehow the pack always seems to catch ... but my simple head says, the pack should only go as fast as the person on the front doing the pulling?
Or am I missing something?
So many reasons not to run!
Would be great on the crit courses ... 10 laps, each lap the last 10% get eliminated until last lap, winner takes all ... that type of race would hurt like hell

If there was a way of doing it for our club race it would be fun. The sprinters could try and burn off the endurance riders but they would surely try and breakaway. Probably could do it if someone agreed to be DS and everyone agreed they would honour whatever their adjudication was each lap but could see controversy happen pretty quickly
tbh, i think those racing Tuesday are all honest and wouldn't be controversial ... at the end of the day it's a bit of fun between mates ... I mean, look at the last CC race .. official result has me winning due to the quirk of Zwift meetups, but we both know you crossed the line first and so won. I think we can all be honest and know if we're pipped at the post ....
@steverob is the crit course (Dolphin?) an option for team races?
@Legs is going to be looking for revenge for sure as he mistimed the sprint last time and got caught out, and @Peter Salt as a virgin will be looking for scalps. And there are a few new CC riders to watch out for who have learned to wheelsuck like the best of us and can punch up those climbs, so should be fun on Tuesdays.

Outside of my workplace was a wild wolf earlier this week. Paper mill where I work Is surround with a fence and it was closed, don't know where it find a way in. Somehow it manage to find a way out as well.

Oi! I already did a TdS before. Was dead last if I remember correctly.
I won't be fresh for Tuesday because of FRR, but still will try my best.
I don’t think you can select Dolphin for club events but I could be wrong there. Another option for a crit is the Volcano circuit. Last man I’ve the line is eliminated - Eliminate one rider per lap - I’m sure we would all be honest enough to drop out once the time comes.

You can select one of the Crit City courses for a Club event, but not the other strangely - can't remember which direction it is however.

The Mech Isle Loop, that Steve chose for first Tour de Splitters on Tuesday, works good too.
By the way - make sure to sign up, Everyone. You have to go to the club page and it's under events

I’ve realised that Andrew doesn’t have Cubs on Tuesday night, because of half-term…whether this makes my presence more or less likely, I’m not sure.
