It’s looking promising… they’re out for delivery today and I haven’t had any kind of communication from FedEx to say that I need to pay anything for them to release it.
EDIT: just taken delivery so I guess that means I got away with it!

That's what I thought until I received the email from Fedex the following day! Their MO is to deliver the goods then invoice you rather than hold your goods to ransom and delay the whole delivery process.

More preparations for Zwifting:
I said that I didn't really want to spend a lot of money because the wheel only had to get me to February and then I should be removing it and switching to my new direct-drive Victory trainer.
The LBS owner then pointed at an old wheel in the corner of the shop and asked if that would do instead? (Another customer had bought a new wheelset and left his old wheels behind.)
The wheel was true, round, and had good spoke tension. A little rumble in the bearings, but definitely more than 3 months worth of life left in them. There was even still a freehub on the wheel, and that worked properly too.
Super. I said that I would take it, and asked how much. He offered to give it to me free, gratis, and for nothing***! He attached it to my pannier with a length of old inner tube and I rode home with it. I nearly fell off my bike when I tried to dismount - I forgot the wheel was there and got my leg caught on it!
I need to search through my junk boxes now for a 19 tooth Shimano sprocket. (The freehub & sprocket on the current wheel are Campagnolo.)
*** I didn't have any money on me but decided to give him a crisp tenner for the wheel next time I go in there.
I was riding past my LBS today so I popped in to discuss this job. The conclusion was that the wheel sounded so bad that it would practically amount to a rebuild.

Did La Turbie + Col d'Eze on the climb portal earlier, it is two climbs, so when you turn at the top for the free miles back down you end up doing another climb.

I've just pulled the trigger on the Cyclopathon League updates. So once they've finished processing they should be visible...

ZRS Results from Sauce
You can't get this information from anywhere else at the moment.
So we had 3rd Phil, 5th Andy
4th Steve
and I got 3rd this morning in 500-600 (although most of us could now race in 400-500 - we stayed put)

I was hoping you could chase back on the descent ,Not quite sure how I held on up the 3rd time ,Ooman went on the last roller before the bridge and none of us could respond . Was waiting the guy in front to kick first but I blinked first and really just lead the other guy out
I was shouting at the screen as you took the lead in the sprint
