Cracking times there boys

 

[bridgy]

so was i
absolutely shattered at the end - got dropped by the group and went from 145 to 177 in an instant
hopefully going out on my favourite ride tomorrow - if its as good as it used to be then i would use that route if anyone ever pops up this way

Oh I really hope you were trying

Actually looking at all the courses for this Tour De Zwift it's very hilly so right up your street

Lee's ZP profile has his best talent-long hill climber, we're doomed

If I could stay with him on the climbs I'd pip him in a sprint, but there is zero chance of me staying with him on a climb

Just got home, been out all day, so not riding tonight. Will do stage 2 sometime tomorrow.

Just checked mt ToNY time for this course .... I did it in 1hr 14 seconds. Lets see how tomorrow goes then and how much fitness i've lost since end of October!

What time you thinking?

 

[Brusgaard]

What time you thinking?

I plan on doing it at 2 PM tomorrow for what it's worth...

 

[Whorty]

What time you thinking?

either 2 or 4 .... i see @Brusgaard is on at 2 so may try to do that too, but depends on how I feel and how late I have lunch. Don't want that re-appearings as I go up the KoMs

I’ll be at 10am tomorrow I think. ZP has my TONY stage as 1hr0m33s. It will be interesting to see how much fitness I’ve lost

ZP has me 1hr 50 secs, ave watts 228. Can't see me being able to hold that at the moment. Looking to attack the early climbs and take advantage of drafting speed on flats and downs to recover. I fear I may be a few minutes off my pb tomorrow, unless chest helps me out a bit!

Good luck in the morning

I tested that today just before i ride stage 2 TdZ. I noticed that i have no legs at all today, so i didn't use it this time. I guess it was bit of preposterous idea ride stage 2 today. Anyway i skip stage 3 and try to ride that in a make-u day, i keep 4 days off from the cycling. I ride 100% setting today, that 17% gradient feel like a swamp.

Welcome to my world. I made a choice to ride at 100%. I never want to be fooled into believing I can go up >10% climbs in a 36/28 . I don't race so I just suffer my real weight and as real as I can make it climbs.

I agree with the different muscle activation argument- especially if you are training to climb mountains but in Zwift;

Of course, choose what you are happiest with.

I tried zero mid xmas. It suited me well. I could make power going downhill and the hills obviously werent really registered in resistance

My lowest gear ratio is same as yours so we are in a same world. I have keep 100% setting since very beginning. Not test yet how bad it feels Alpe du Zwift with Drivo 2.

If you're 80Kg + then you will struggle with cadence 36*28 ratio up the Alpe on 100%

This.

It’s hard enough at 32/30!
