Zwift Chat

[Norry1]

There is no doubt that a combination of a big chunk of Z2 plus a smaller, but really hard VO2 chunk will improve your overall fitness.

Not going to do the cobbles tonight, a bit knackered

You did a lot of steps yesterday. Hardly surprising. There's always tomorrow.

When @Peter Salt began zwifting, he was finishing dead last in C, yet 18 months later he’s ripping it up at the top of B!

He's also 12 years old, built like a whippet, and doesn't have the aches and pains of us more 'mature' gents

Looks like an outdoor day today

Sorted split screen, now can have two accounts of Zwift on one TV.

Race with someone else directly beside me. Watch out GCN

Just tell them to wear safety vests

Yup, went out for another muddy spin today. Did a few efforts but mostly just enjoyed the scenery and practiced handling.

Indoor z2 tomorrow and Sunday, and next week I'm off to the Peak District.

Any bucket list roads/climbs around Hope?

Obviously Winnats Pass, and Mam Nick from the Edale side. You used to be able to access the ‘Shivering Mountain’ landslipped road on Mam Tor as well - I’ve ridden down it on my road bike (but I don’t have the bike handling skills to ride up it!)

Different Hope, I'm afraid I meant the one in Ashbourne. Should have mentioned that, I'm not the best at UK geography

Some lovely lanes around Blore Pastures, Ilam and Thorpe Cloud. Around the northeasternmost of this ride…
