New maps might do that but everything else feels irrelevant these days

You mean to say changing your body profile to that of a female with the face of a man with dreadlocks for hair does not get you all excited with anticipation of the new release 🤔 😂

Didn't meant exactly that but now that you start talking about that I would say that doesn't get me horny either 😬

With this new addition to Zwift I finally will be able to give my avatar the very same breasts (moobs) that I currently sport on my real life body!

My avatar looks like a body builder/track cyclist and I can't recognize that look when I looking myself at the mirror, that's a body type which I don't try to get. I have a very small beer belly as well, not for sure would I like to see that on my avatar as well.

Ta Alex,
All signed up though it looks a bit flat and short for my questionable strengths.

It's just a bit of VO2 fun instead of doing Tiny races in B and getting murdered
I think I might have managed to get all pens going off at the same time, but don't know if we'll be able to see each other or not.
Doing events via clubs is a bit unpredictable, so we'll just have to see how it goes

Signed up @alex_cycles but have a meeting at 9.30 so not 100% certain to make the start

If anyone's up for it, I'm running another Cyclopathy Friday Smash at 1045 on Friday this week...
2 laps of LaGuardia Reverse.

Using vELO categories.

Missed this- I'm off tomorrow so may be able to get to it, so have signed up. Apparently I'm a sapphire

Currently there's only 2 in the Amethyst/Platinum (C) pen. If that doesn't change I might jump into the Emerald/Sapphire (B) pen as that seems better populated. Hopefully it'll be same time starts, everyone visible, but we won't know until the race

Had a bit of a close encounter today on my outdoor 50 miler.

I was approaching a right hand turn off the main road I was on into a smaller road. A guy was at the junction of the smaller road also turning right.

I turned past him and and I did so, he started pulling out. I gave him a very loud set of expletives as he was clearly going to hit me. I was waiting for the impact, which came but luckily not very hard - he nudged my rear wheel but I managed to stay upright. As I began to give him a real talking to he wound the window down and was extremely apologetic - saying he just hadn't seen me. My anger dropped as he seemed sincere so I said ok mate and carried on my way.

Can't see any damage so all good.

Glad you’re okay (and the bike too)

Work -well contractors tomorrow putting cabling in the office i manage-has dragged me away from racing tomorrow. Sorry Alex. I have atoned though by having another bash at w/o 6 of ZA just now. Legs not really ready for it after a rowing session last night and a dose of plantar fascitis today but kept on going and hit my max hr for some time:

I will do another one next week at the same time. So don't worry about it

I've jumped into the B pen now because I only had one opponent. So I'm racing @mjd1988

Close call for sure Martin. Ive had a few close passes and near hits this year and it always makes you think (and swear!)
