Zwift Chat

@Peter Salt you were up to A at the end of spring weren’t you iirc?

Nope, never broken into A, but you could say I've been scratching the surface for a while now.

I did 4.00W/kg for 30 minutes recently and 3.91W/kg for 62 minutes yesterday - so still right up there.

My Achilles heel used to be 5 min. power and I think I improved that a lot in the past few months. The sprint is good too.

Thanks @mjd1988. So it looks for now it’s still the old zwiftpower system?

No they're using CE

Sd works was for a dangerous overtake in the convoy and inappropriate remarks to the commissioner

We had a split with cars in between on our group ride today. At one point there was a red car in front of me, which I drafted for a couple of miles until they could get by (narrow country road with cars coming the other way). It felt like I was drafting the Commissaires

Not short of drama anyway!

12 September?! That's quite soon. I think we should try and get organised. I'm definitely available, and still a B.

Sounds like @IrishAl is hoping for spots of summer on Tuesday evenings. Is your subscription active?

@bridgy, @Girafitti, @Rich A, @Ketty?

@alex_cycles, @Norry1 - I think you said you prefer going to bed early?

Who did I miss? Any friends and family members we could lean on?

Count me in!!

Can Kopecky get 1 min back to get on the podium?

I like system of women's Tour de France, you can still have yellow jersey in a last day. Unlike men's Tour when winner will declared after 20th stage, so nothing interesting to see on a last stage for me. I think Kopecky have a good chance to get 2nd or 3rd position but not for sure about yellow jersey. Kopecky is 2:35 behind Vollering but only 7sec behind of van Vleuten.

Loving the women staring out opponents before launching an attack!

Just found April Tacey results for stage 7 ,finished 29min 45secs back , made the time cut which was around 35mins so baring a disaster today she going to finish her 1st tour . Currently lying in 116th of 124 riders 1hr 39min back .
Having riden with her and knowing how strong she is it's mind boggling what the top women do
