Stage 5 of TdZ has both an A (48km) and B (32km) distance. Which one are we riding for the CycleChat TdZ league? Here’s hoping for the short one.

A all the way for me

I am Lee. Just frustrated with the start and having to chase a draft too much. No pain where I used to have it in the knee which is just HUGE for me
Lungs and throat a bit seared though but nothing a good chinese takeaway and beer won’t sort

 

[bridgy]

Well done all

Lee....I don't know how it's possible to weigh so little, but....cheers mate

 

[CXRAndy]

My mate in Tenerife weighs 59 kg. He literally flies up hills on a 53 chainring !!

 

[berty bassett]

So that is what I have to aim at ? Hang on - how tall is he - have I got to lose height as well ?

 

[CXRAndy]

He's about same height.

 

[berty bassett]

He's about same height.

Normal then ?

well done Steen and Paul - i couldn't have tried any harder- heart rate higher than normal proves i was trying just couldn't keep up
maybe i should put the new weight in - weighed myself when i got in - 62.5 kg !! - my skin flaps in the wind !
saturday night is pig out night - might even have a pint if i can pick it up
and thanks Andy for the thumbs up

and i missed not being able to follow the blue hat !

To be fair our times for a stage like that are really dependent on the speed of the group you end up in for most of the ride. There was no way I could have stayed in the very front group so I settled into the next group I could. I couldn't have gone any faster than that group obviously - probably similar for you - so if my group went a bit faster, I'd get an advantage for not much additional effort. I was actually worried the group I was in during my race was a bit too slow - clearly not! Obviously there was then the hill at the end which is mostly personal effort but the time damage could already have been done by then.

When TDZ is over, would be great to try and set up some "private" races for us to do - maybe using Andy's idea of waiting on the start line for a few minutes of another scheduled race. Looks like there could be some really good racing without things being altered or affected by the larger groups of other riders

 

[berty bassett]

I like the sound of that idea ! If enough of us do it then there will be some good battles and could change tactics as there would be no group to hide in

All TdZ stage 4 results now added.

A strong ride by the increasingly lean Lee is not enough to get him to the top. Brusgaard sits proud atop the pile of also-rans, showing that hard endeavour and a love of Smørrebrød are essential to succeed on Zwift.

Battle to recommence later this week.

really enjoying this but i am away end of next week throwing myself down mountains so no chance of a podium place
will be eating and drinking like a pig these next few days though so i have a little in the hamper for stage 5
