I decided to do the Zwift 4 week ftp builder starting today. Except me and the nipper paid a visit to our favourite West Indian takeaway yesterday and it seems we had some dodgy chicken. I suspect if i weighed myself i might be 72 kilo's todayxx(^_^ So, a nice and easy to spin the legs today and I will have to start tomorrow and look to do 2 efforts in one day at some point.

Seemed to have ANT+ problems tonight. Power reading to my laptop stopped a handful of times - but showed on my Garmin. Lost the group because of it. Ended up being a great workout and recorded my highest ever hour power . Not looked to see how I did in the race yet.

Thanks :thumbsup:. Carried on and averaged 236 watts for the hour which is my best by 12 watts. have to sort out why the ANT+ kept dropping or it will do my head in.

If you don't already have one, a usb extension lead for your Ant+ dongle. About £3 from ebay :okay:

I have a USB Dongle in my laptop, which doesn't have bluetooth. I have a dumb turbo and use P1 Powertap Pedals for power. Good idea about the USB extension - otherwise may have to swap stuff around, I've just recalled that the left pedal does the transmitting and I have the laptop on the right of the bike now.

Really annoying when the group left me the first time. Probably as well, as most were Cat A and B :smile: Gave me some V02 sessions when it happened later on, and I had to put out 5 w/kg to catch the smaller groups up :smile:

Next Race probably the Tuesday KISS race at 8 so long as I'm back from work in time.

I'm usually in that race, *but* I may not make it this week. If I do make it, I'll look for you...

Good luck Andy, I'll probably go on zwift for a nice and easy session and my lad would probably go on bkool now he has mtb shoes giro's as well better than what I've got :wacko:.

Hope it went well Andy but.beer crisps and peanut M&M's at the cinema watching latest planet of the apes movie left me in no fit state to race.

17 riders got a podium bronze, maybe a silver, W/Kg too much for C category ^_^

Pack whittled down over the laps until there was 5 of us left. With 3 miles to go i lost the internet so was all alone, I put the hammer down in the hope I good get a half decent result on time alone. With 2 miles to go my group re appeared just behind me, so it was a blast up the last climb and wait for the sprint down the home straight. Two of the riders applied boost features which gave them 20 yards on me, I was gaining on them but just ran out of road before the line came, Pleased with a podium though. :dance:
