Just shy of 30 miles with 45-60 mins of climbing

Never climb 2 times in a session that climb in Innsbruck. Second lap might hurt a bit.

I was hoping to do stage 7 at 9am tomorrow but hospital appointment for me then straight to visiting mom in hospital means it may be a 7pm start ,hopefully there will be sometime done for me to aim for Carl

Good idea, you guys just focused each others. That will opens the doors to me attack

I love Innsbruck but looking at the figures below and knowing what i am capable of at the moment its going to be a 3 hour ride
Innsbruck KOM Forward
Climbing 400m Avg Grade 5.4% Distance 7.4km
All Time 22:02 272w 72.0kg 3.8wkg 20.2kmh 4 September 2018


Innsbruck UCI Lap
Climbing 496m Avg Grade 0.0% Distance 23.7km
All Time 43:33 248w 72.0kg 3.4wkg 32.6kmh 9 August 2018

If your PR is 43.33, do you think it will take you twice as long currently Bob? That would be a speed of only 10mph and you average more than that on yesterday's Alpe De Zwift stage

Good point.
I rode a lap on a zsun social in 1h our at 153w. A second lap will be slower so yes, 3 hours is overly pessimistic. I will aim for 2h 30.

Fingers crossed - that's still a long old ride for you!

My PR is 48:44, but on that ride I lost a couple of minutes when the power cable in the turbo fell out, also the ride looks to be a gentle one, HR no where near max. I'd hope that will a big group I'll be closer to Bobs 43:33, so will aim for a sub 1hour 30minute ride, hopeully closer to 1:20 than 1:30 though.

I see there is currently 1 second between @bridgy and @berty bassett on the climb segment, with Paul just edgeing the complete lap by 30 seconds. It's going to be another tight one between you two.

EXCEPT, my times were done on the Bkool

I'm looking at 6pm tomorrow to do my attempt. Won't be done by the time you start at 7, sorry! Last time i did this exact same race was back in September when i finished it in 1:13:37 I averaged 213 watts (2.5 w/kg). @bobinski , if you remember it's the ride you paced me up the climb the second time up

Edit : Lee was in the same race and did it in 58:17

Edit, Edit : that was for one lap .... so double these times I guess

 

[Freelanderuk]

That gives me a time to aim for 1:13:37 and try and better

On Friday after getting some more depressing news regarding the neo bike, I lost patience and ordered a neo. Well it turned up surprisingly quickly so I’m now staring at the box as I wait for some pasta to cook.

Well the missus has got a cold, although the way she’s going on you’d think the grim reaper was on the phone telling her her time was up... (I’m being my usual sympathetic self of course...). And there’s a set of bunk beds that my youngest is expectantly waiting for me to build at some point too... but if the stars align, I might just get a go on a turbo tonight for the first time in nearly a year!

Life has conspired to prevent me doing most of the Tour de Zwift Stages. Just got back from a few days away and about to train tonight, but no TDZ on today. I'm then back working away for the next couple of nights so will miss Stage 7 as well.

I plan to do a short race tonight and maybe see if I can beat my 20 min power on Zwift, to get my ZPoints up. Looks like the 7.05pm 3R Classique Flat Race.

I have been tempted to do the same - but am hanging on for the Neo Bike. I'm okay on my trusty dumb trainer for a while longer.

So it double it and minus 10 minutes then
