aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh !!! Numbnuts strikes again ! i suppose now the next question is how do i delete a league ride
i knew there was something amiss but just thought it was what others were experiencing - gonna be interesting trying to draft skinny berty

You can't delete a league ride Berty. You could make up for it by doing your next summer cup ride with the weight added instead of removed (so you'd weigh as much as one of us lardy types) and that would even things up for you. I think that's what I'd do.
Or you could just hope that no one goes to look at your ride stats.

it will make interesting reading of stats !! how should i do it then ? i am at the minute 63kg - i did the ride at 46.5 kg what do you think i should do the next one - i did put an error message on my ride but i don't know if anyone can see it - just remember if its down hill i will zoom if i am one of the lycra stretchers

Word of warning for Summer Cup participants on the new fw. Stage 3 contains 2 or 3 points where your momentum may disappear. I have just completed my attempt <1hr . I think I did quite well.

The first 2 miles or so are fairly flat and the last mile is down hill, so the average gradiant is a little deceptive. Think 7.8% rather than the 5.8 stated. I think that is part of the reason I did so well

Try the Summer Cup stage 3 @79.5kg (same amount over as you were under). There's some downhill on it .

I thought they waited a month before downgrading.

I thought they waited a month before downgrading.

Usually I think it is 2 months. But I think I was so far out of the zone they whacked the demotion hammer on me . It was done after a Cup stage.

Just completed a 25tt today. Quite stiff head on breeze for the first 7-8 miles. So much so my speed dropped to 15mph on a false flat climb. On the return leg I was doing 31mph at the same point with a tail wind. To ride the section you couldn't tell there was a climb. I felt pretty wacked after and struggled on the way home. Knocked a couple of minutes of my pb and was within 3 minutes of my age group who were riding full aero setup.

I will now look into getting a TT bike this winter and upgrading wheels and groupset.( I have 70% spare set For di2)

Well done Andy, sounds like great fun,on the way back anyway

What about ride the 2nd stage again at your correct weight then stop before the finish line on stage 3 for the difference. My "cheating" ride last year was never corrected.

I am beginning to enjoy this sprinting lark. I certainly get enough practice Now obviously there are much faster sprinters than me in Zwift but 26.06 is 3 seconds faster than my precious best time so with a virtual live green jersey on my back I claim bragging rights Especially after my recent goat jersey.

That'd work too.

Sorry I can't make out the target on your back. Or is that only on your blue outfit?
