Was faffing around and missed the start so nearly a complete disaster!

Great to have you in the team @mjd1988 !
I didn't have the nerve to try and contests the sprints - just hung on really! But pleasantly surprised with my time up the KOM and final position. Well, I was until Michael pointed out everyone else probably wasn't trying because it was only the prologue
@alex_cycles - downside of watching your race this morning is that you made it look much easier than it actually was
Haha I was trying to rationalise how I stayed with the group rather than bring you down 😂 I had looked at the 20min power list beforehand and I think I was third last so was pleasantly surprised

Sorry about that. I had an unprecendented two days off Sunday and Monday and I'm fairly near the top of my category, so it perhaps doesn't kill me to hold on as much as if I was nearer the bottom. (That said, my IF was 96% for the race, so I was pushing quite hard.)
I did take a whole second off my PR for the Yorkshire sprint FTS though. But I had a lovely pack to draft through. (Check out the draft numbers during the sprint - top right)

I was 14th in cat B in that last year. Will give it a pass this time around, on account of not enough sleep and lots of small illnesses, but if there's a new route badge I'll give it a go
I think there's still one more place in our team (Sapphire level on Zwiftracing.app) for the DIRT Racing Series - 18:15 UK time on Wednesdays if anyone else interested? @mjd1988 and I can confirm the prologue was excellent Type 2 fun!

Bit too early for me I'm afraid!
Anyone else had an email from Zwift offering them free (just pay postage) Zwift Play Controllers?
I'm in two minds as I have the Neo Smart bike which does already have steering, and they don't really fit to the handlebars (although some people do seem to have botched a solution

It's only for Level 85+ riders, apparently. There's some discussion of it on the Zwift Forums - seems to be legitimate.
Glad it's level 85 plus as I recently purchased them and would have been peed off to have them offered for free

Instinctively I'd be suspicious but given what legs is saying I'd go for it, I've got the neobike but the steering can sometimes be effected (I think it's an issue with the handlebar unit

Scratch that. I'm going to do the FRR Stage instead. I'd forgotten that was still going on
