Very annoying 2nd. If it wasn't for a foolish breakaway attempt halfway in, I'd have a bit more for the finish. Was good exercise

Signed up again to the Friday smash. Always more likely than not I'll miss it but worth trying to get to

Two laps of Mech Isle Loop tomorrow. Should be fun. We're going with a "wait for the rear pens to catch before you attack" kind of neutral start as it's all Cats together and the D/E guys have a crap time if they start at the back.

I have an emergency dental appointment at 11 so I will have to skip. See you in the pens next week though!

Bums. Hope you get sorted out.

Cheers, sadly I probably won’t - ongoing problem since Xmas. It is driving me mad.

There is 8 bs and none of the others are splitters, will they Def sit up at the start?

joined for an hour last night as i had the day off work so needed to keep the legs moving , certainly more fun than dodging ice and freezing freehubs !

Need to make sure it is mentioned (multiple times ideally) in the chat while everyone is in the pens.

I woud keep a close eye on things Michael. Because it's unofficial there are no guarantees. We haven't tried it before, but it's getting written into the description from next week (not that anyone ever reads those )

There's just two guys in the pen that I'm not sure if they know or not. Van and Erik

Just back in from doing friends car door switch replacement- cant feel my fingers presently.🥶

Will be on start line

Just realised there's a significant amount of dirt path. Still going with venge, especially since they changed the rolling resistance of the dirt

 

[steverob]

When this course was first launched, e.g. before they changed the rolling resistances, ZwiftInsider said it was about even on whether a gravel bike or a road bike would be best - it depended on whether you wanted to launch an attack up the dirt climb, or leave it to the finishing sprint on tarmac. With the changes that's probably now tipped it in favour of a road bike.

Enjoyed that much better way to start even if it's only for a few minutes.

Steven was certainly trying to get a break especially on the first lap climb- he spurred me onto a PB and only one second off the second time.

Phil rolling through after catching us triggered the sprint for us.


This time I wasn't going to be slow reacting for the sprint. Hit a higher peak 1128W .

Stupidly I balls'd up my recording
