I'll try and make the 19:30. I'm doing the gym before that, and then a Z2 ride, so this would be a nice way to top things off, if I can make it.

1:52 huh? Nice one

Oof, definitely felt like not doing it. Had a 45-minute warm up to soften up the legs, after yesterdays' efforts, but it only helped a bit. Was quite surprised with the time - it felt a lot slower.

Now looking forward to the FRR on Friday. 1.3 laps of Muckle Yin, with 4 unique sprint segments - Breakaway Brae in both directions and Clyde Kicker will count for green jersey points, despite being classed as KOMs in game. Second in that classification so far, and trying to do well.

Anyone have watch Tour de France documentary series from Netflix yet?. I just found it and start to watch it, it's a pretty new series with 8-episodes. Not bad at all, it shows a bit what happens inside of a teams as well, not just only what happens during a race.

Well, you smashed that! 378W and a 1-second PB? Saving the target of a sub-2 for next time!

Noticed that the kid who won apparently has a BMI of 13.6 (37kg at 165cm). That's 6.5 standard deviations below the mean - super-unhealthily lightweight. He's allegedly lighter than my 9-year old!

James Bailey has set up a GC for this hill climb series. Not many in A. You're 7th, I'm 25th

Hi mate, yes I am. I have a GB shirt from 2019 when I went to Poznan but I need a smaller one now 👍

I think I just "accidentally" won a points race. I was racing it as a scratch race, but pushing on the primes to tire the others and "assert my dominance". I was 4th over the line - having tired myself out on the primes.
(Actually I went early on the Clyde Kicker and tried to hold it from there. Should have let them catch me and gone again on the next kicker, but wanted to try something new. Didn't work. )

Surprised to be awarded gold. Hope it's not a mistake coz I ain't givin' it back. Oh NO! (Looks like last week's was primes too, so maybe it's deliberate).

Don't think I'll be allowed in C as soon as they do the purported zMAP tweaks, so wanted to do one more race in C just for fun before a week off.
Was disappointed to finish 4th, but then surprised by the ZP 🏆

New DIRT racing series starts next week over the next 12 weeks. Points races with an overall leaderboard but individual rather than team. Your best 6 results of the 12 races count (so you don't miss out if you can't make every stage).

Categories are based on the excellent www.zwiftracing.app and that's where you find the racepass and it tells you which pen to sign into depending on your ranking.

I'm going to sign up and give it a go - mostly riding outdoors at the moment like most people I guess but it will be good to do a zwift race once a week still I think.

See you there if anyone else fancies it

I'm off for a week but will be taking in some of these over the rest of the summer. What with that and the Club Ladder series, that's probably enough racing for me. I want to keep my hand in, but do lots of outdoor if this sodding North wind ever goes away.

Need to get some more of the "100 climbs" done.

I may do a few of these. Thanks for the info.

I don't think you HAVE to for this series, but to be included in the results tables it might help to be registered on the DRS site, if you're not already.
