You'll be fine, just pace yourself up, if you've never used power before find a figure on the screen that you feel you are able to sustain after the first mile and then use that, use the gears to keep in that spot.

What cassette you running?

Not that familiar with terminology but would a 12-32 make sense?

Not cycled with power before either so thanks for the tip.

 

[Rob H]

yep your rear cassette will be fine for going up the steep stuff

Nothing like easing the new guys in gently!

Think this will be a struggle but looking forward to it. Fan bought today and bkool should be waiting for me when i get home so looking forward to my first ride!

You'll be grand - some great advice there from RJH. See you at 7pm for the live ride!

Should i do the FTP test first? Do you just ride as fast as you can for the 20 minutes?

In theory thats the way you do it, and that will give you the figure i was on about.

Tbh id not bother for now and get online tonight with the others and give it a go. Youll be amazed how hard you push yourself chasing this lot in the virtual world

Don't worry too much about it yet, like RJH10000 says. Think I've only done it twice since getting it almost a year ago. Join in for the live session tonight. It'll be more entertaining!

Don't worry. There'll always be someone to chase (depending how many show up up tonight - we may have a few missing by the looks of it!)

Yeah, we have a guy called Lars (LBHIFI) who the new starts usually queue up behind, waiting to pass him once the race gets under way.

Whos Gabriel Reid? got a request for the top 100 group.

Cheers

Yeah I invited him, he's a mate of mine here in Belgium. He posted here a few pages back.

 

[rob01792]
