Ah just realising with my wife being back at work she now works Tuesday evenings so unless I get much quicker at putting two kids to bed I'm unlikely to be able to take part ðŸ˜

Today DBR. Dolphin Crit 15 laps.
A race of missed opportunity. There was small attendance for each group. I was expecting the Faster B/A to come by, but it looks like they were hidden from us. One rider got off the front, second a lap or two jumped over, and I was in a position to go but hesitated thinking of other cats catching us. They literally rode away from a small pack content to cruise . So I waited and waited till just less than 300 metres

Going to do something a bit different today. Not done any of the "100 climbs" for quite a while - nearly 2 years, I think. So I'm going to have a go at the two London ones on the gravel bike this evening after I drop my wife at Stansted airport. I've planned a nice 30 mile ride most of which is along the path next to the river Lee.
That will then leave just the two on the South coast to clear up the reds in the South East region.

Pop into Knepp on the way
Not sure I'll have enough daylight. Don't think I'll be starting much before 1800. Although I'm taking lights in case needed. Oh hold on - that's nearer Gatwick. Wrong airport.
Anyway, here are the two climbs. The gradient is a bit "generous" Swains Lane tops out at 20% not 27% as Garmin would have you believe.

Hi Al - yes I'm interested in doing the upcming ZRL and I think we have a few otehrs on board too. I'll start a new private group chat to discuss timeslots etc and include you in it, and see if we can get a team sorted
Wife has decided she wanted to ride indoors on her outdoor ebike, an early birthday present
After a little tuition from son, and Google I've got two screens running simultaneously with one on Rouvy (wife's preference) and Zwift on my screen
Also Wahoo was incorrect, you can use and Ebike on a kickr-snap
Let the indoor season begin

Still places available on the Splitters Cat B ZRL team if your wife and her e-bike are interested Andy
No advice on gravel bikes from me I'm afraid but I did see and add for these recently which might be of interest - Orro are a British bike brand, designed and made in Britain apparently - some big savings here https://www.orrobikes.com/outlet/bikes/53
(I think quite a few bike brands are slashing prices right now trying to shift bikes which aren't selling so I'm sure there's other good bargains around too)

Hello strangers - how are things here on CycleChat these days?
I have been off the bike and all physical exercise for an extended period (8 months!) following a medical issue, and just getting back into things. Started with a roll up "the grade" yesterday as a baseline test. I never knew that so few watts could hurt so much!
What's been happening here, and on the platform? Any big changes I should know about?

Hello Nick.
The biggest change recently has been the pilot test of ZRS (Zwift Racing Score) which is their new results-based cat system.
It's currently running in Beta on certain races but shows some signs of usefulness. It probably needs rolling out a bit wider so it can feed on more delicious data and get more accurate. But I think it will evolve and improve with time.
Hope your medical stuff is all resolved.

Hi Nick - good to hear from you! So when do you think you'll be back to Cat B levels of fitness as we could do with some more teammates for the ZRL team!
