Cracking turnout- it’s the reason I rode

Yeah, but I didn't see anyone. I hope they implement the "show riders I follow" view/filter soon.

Couple of questions....
1) What's the 'lead-in' and should I not have been going hard to try and keep up with the front pack during it?
2) Why haven't I got full stats on Zwift power for that ride and why is my ftp figure in blue?

Lead ins are a bit misleading, theyre supposed to be taken at a steadier pace, but rarely are, full on from the gate for position in lead pack
I dont see anything in blue against your name

I saw Bob for a split second on the last climb, he flew passed so fast I thought he had selected ride with me just to egg me on. I enjoyed that and felt I wasnt dying a death on the climbs. I did find I had just enough gearing to get over the 15% on half setting my gearing was 39-28t

The climb was great, it was a welcome distraction, felt like riding a 'bucking bronco '

@Marino.g - i see you was riding too tonight - join the CycleChat team in ZwiftPower too so we can see your rides with the rest of us

Dean

What happened?

 

[bobinski]

I saw mist of you. But then I wasn’t racing

Lee at the beginning and into first climb, then Lars and also Dean

I had a course quirk 3x
As Road curves to left before hitting the climb I got thrown right, away from the other riders and then my avatar comes around though off the pack I was in. Very strange

 

[Whorty]

I saw @rob01792 and @bert1971 up the 1st KoM but there was a big group so lost track of them. Seems that they were only a minute behind so very close. I was half expecting them both to come past me on KoM 2 or 3 and as I was on the edge I wouldn't have been able to respond

Sorry @T.M.H.N.E.T , didn't wait for you in the end ... blame @rob01792 for taunting me earlier

I was on a 52-26 on the 15% @ a 50% realism

I had that too - very strange. I saw other riders doing that too, but not everyone

No bother lol, I wouldn't have stuck it

Thanks Lee - i was flagging on the final climb and seeing you working your way up to me gave me an extra impetus . It was good to have some CC company for the final few miles!

Edit - full stats now showing

Next one I'm going hard from the off, not getting into it gently again and ending up in low down the rankings.

 

[Whorty]

Zwiftpower has @bobinski as winning the overall race and @CXRAndy as 3rd .... I know you guys did well, but where are all the other riders?

Edit - changed again now and showing all riders. Maybe it was updating.

Same for me every single time in serveral races.

I was coughing a few times through that Had to slow for the second lap. When I saw you I had to give it the beans and hope you didn’t catch me on the way down

Yep!

I was coming up the second climb just behind you I'm sure I got covered in a spray of virtual phlegm!

I've lodged a complaint with the commissaires!
