I wasn't sure if I'll be able to do any riding this week, but a lot of the swelling is receding and I want to do something - or at least try.
Signed up for the next leg of the DIRT thingy, Harrogate UCI Reverse. Always a nice route for racing + if I feel I can't do it it's only best 6 race results that will count.

Just done the morning one. Hard race, but I got points on all three segments.

2:12 up the KOM?! I'd be extremally happy if I get anywhere near that.
I like where they put the finish line
Probably going with an all-rounder bike for this one.

It was FTS, so balls-out. I was 6th though
but not by a lot.Has anyone noticed they've got an FTS KoM in the TdF iTT today? They've gone full ZRL. (How many TLAs can you get in one sentence?)
Powless and Ciccone have both done a Hivey - bimble and smash, going for the KoM points

https://zwiftinsider.com/climb-portal-xp/I've got to go again probably 4 or 5 times more by the end of the month to get level 42. (End of month because after that Trebiac might not be freely available in the rotation
After that, all bets are off as it doesn't look like smashing through the levels generates anything particularly useful to racing above 42 (I can manage without Fire Socks for now 😁)
Might be helpful - basically they all have ten arches so do the shortest climb. You may have worked that out already! Strangely no mention of the u turn thinf

When I rode the Côte de Trébiac at the weekend, I forgot to deploy my feather PU (I know, what a doofus!?!?), which I think meant that I didn't get the chance to get XP PUs at all the subsequent banners!

I left a comment on their climb portal page yesterday about the XP thing. I'm sure they were already on it though.
Trebiac is the one I'm using simply because it's the least climbing.

They had that in the Giro ITT too. I thought it's rather cool. They should do it on more climbs.Has anyone noticed they've got an FTS KoM in the TdF iTT today? They've gone full ZRL. (How many TLAs can you get in one sentence?)

They've done something similar before on the Tour a few times but only when there was a prologue stage. Whoever got to the highest point on the course the fastest would get to wear the polka dot jersey on the next day's first real stage, even though it wasn't a categorised climb (and so didn't get them any points). It lead to a few guys doing an all out effort for the first 3 minutes to get to the top of that hill and then coasting the other 7-8 minutes to the finish as they knew they were never in contention for the stage/yellow jersey.

No one catching Weiner God now
P.S. Third place in the race - not bad for a friggin' concussion

So what you’re saying is that I only need to improve my time by 10 minutes and 47 seconds in order to challenge for the yellow jersey?
