I do really like Glasgow CritYou like Glasgow as well. How good friends are they?
Maybe it's time for a review of the Christmas card list?

When I was watching the Mayan San Remo ride on Zwift there were thousands of coloured ribbons floating through the air. Do they have some hidden meaning, or are they just eye candy?
When watching some videos on TPV I noticed wispy streaks in the air. My first thought was that they might be due to programming bugs but then I discovered that they indicate gusts of wind. Clever!
I did a 20 minute outdoor climb today, which gave me a better idea of what I might be capable of. It wasn't on the Cragg Vale climb though. This one (Heptonstall Rd, Lee Wood Rd, Draper Ln... up to Colden) has too many changes of gradient to settle into a steady rhythm. Lots of 10%, a short burst of 15%, a fair amount of 3-5%, some slight downhill, some flat road and a short delay at traffic lights! I averaged 210 W on that today which tempts me to try 225 W on Cragg Vale. The weather forecast is poor for the next couple of days. Maybe I will do a 20 minute FTP test up through Cragg Vale on NYD?

The confetti gets triggered if you achieve something on Zwift, usually a PR on a sprint or KOM, or meet your mileage/hours goal for the week, etc.

Maybe. Last one was a bit boring. But Glasgow is at least a fun course. You can always stay for a few extra sprints.
Would be good to have all pens visible, wink, wink. We could at least have a chat.
Alex says all 1 pen tomorrow , not sure how my legs will be just done back to back ITTs for FRR . Bologna then Royal pump house in Harrogate

In that case I'll definitely sign up
Not in form to do the FRR after all that time off the bike and illness. I can smash it for a while but not long enough to enjoy an extended race.
EDIT: I can see about 10 signed up in B so not bad. And the category threshold is higher this week making it more likely to find a good battle.

It's not all one pen, but most of us are pen 3 riding up in pen 2. I haven't changed the thresholds - they are the same as last week.
It's not possible to change anything like that when the events team are on holiday.

I like the two tier ranking.
Mustn't say two tier
Looks like you've only got 1 or 2 more races in that tier. Only +7 ZRS to 330. Well done. I did that one yesterday and came 4th (3rd on ZP) in 390-510.
The sprint, went a tad late, didn't use all power up the draft period . Hey, very pleased with the result.
Took the win on ZP
