Did a C race last night - and it seemed to me that the standard in C is higher than I remember. I didn't quite give 100%, but not far off. I backed off just before the top of the Mayan Hill (is that what it is called). I came 23rd on ZP out of 143 starters.
As always, my Watts are quite a bit lower on the turbo - and I used the same power pedals, so it isn't that - but I'll just have to live with that.
I've just had a read-up on the Pace Group Categories and I am right at the top of the Zftp boundary but still just a C. Looks like I'll be struggling at the base of B soon.
Zwift Racing Score up to 358 now - bit better than 208 where it started
Yes there has been some re alignment. It seems that low end B riders have moved into C, same for low A, they're in the B category now. The combining of racing score with the old categories should align everyone more evenly. I understand that non RS events now or will be shortly added into the RS algorithm.

Is that an Irish thing? I prefer a cheese omelette myself
I believe thats what you call a "microaggression"
We call it a "weeaggression"

As I understand it, all community races will default to racing score category rankings from 7th October - so you shouldn't need to worry too much about the old pace group categories based on Zftp for much longer

I weight train as well as cycle but don't use any supplements - apart from calcium, vitamin D, and omega-3.

I'm going to be finding myself in Gaydon late morning on Saturday, with a bike in the back of the car (my mum's car, my brother's bike: it's a long story...). I'm racing on Sunday at Monsal Head, but one or other of these look like they could be fun for a one-minute / three-minute smash warm-up! Not too far from your manors, @alex_cycles and @Norry1 ???

3 minutes would be going it some for Edge Hill (that would equal the KoM time) but I expect it's possible if you're good. I've only done it once but I wasn't trying to kill it. Took me 6:21

Funny you should mention it - I plan to do this/these.
I use Edge Hill for when I have 5 min Hill Repeats on the menu. Burton Dassett is interesting - it has a natural amphitheatre and is when the Women's Tour and the ToB have finished stages. Just watch the sheep that can stray onto the road
The 2 climbs are kind of one event on Saturday as I understand it, although you can choose to only do one of them.
If you are deffo going, drop me a PM and I'll give you my mobile number so we can have a chat there.
I love an omelette, have one at least once a week, but 4 eggs is my max (with cheese of course). Scrambled on toast is nice but can't beat poached eggs (duck if I can get them) - yum!
Shame you can't digest creatine but some can't unfortunately. Lots of research on it in weight training and it's a very positive supplement. Thankfully no side effects for me.
However, it looks like the Hill Climb on Saturday starts a bit higher up (the bit before is quite shallow) and is this segment

My best is 4:30 on that one (same ride)

That's awesome. My travel plans are a bit convoluted (basically, I've been borrowing my mum's little car for the last few weeks; we're driving two cars down to Gaydon because M40 J12 is pretty much halfway between my home and my parents'; I'm also delivering a Giant Defy Advanced 1 which my bro bought on eBay but which I collected last weekend - I'm sure I can ride it fine if I remember to put some pedals on it; my wife was planning to stop in Burton on the way down to have a fitting for running shoes so might want me to take one of the children with me) but I'd be well up for it as a little warmup for Sunday. Weather looks promising, too! It'd be great to meet you IRLFunny you should mention it - I plan to do this/these.

Had the same in Edge (Which is 97.5% the same as Chrome). Had to clear “something” deep down some developer settings or something. Can’t remember what, but just a heads up, that it might not be as easy as you think…
