Not reach that speed yet. Shane Miller reach that speed when came down from the radio tower on epic kom. He use aeroboost powerup at that attempt. Probably best location to try that speed.

Must give that a shot, thanks. Don't want to go up It anytime soon though!

Very childish (and pointless) but has anyone broke 100kph going down the alpe? I'm guessing the outlaw race and drafting would do it. I had an aero and 10w/kg for 15 secs today and only managed 93.

Also very against etiquette for a sub 2 pack Social ride lol

Ya needs few extra kilos

What’s on the menu for Thursday night?
Lighter nights, but we’ve got rain so it’s Zwift night.

Definitely the radio tower descent is the best place to do that. I managed 98.1km/h the other week WITHOUT a power up (I got 10XP at the top of Epic annoyingly), although I do weigh over 90kg which does help a little with that! One of these days I will get the feather or aero helmet and finally crack the 100km/h.

Erm yeah BTDT

I think it may have been the Radio Tower I gained it on. But I have seen 90+ on the Alpe, wasn't looking for the 100+.

These are the body type of riders I had to contend with climbing Mt Teide I only had an advantage going downhill

Big day today....

I start my phased retirement today and am now on a 3 day working week, Tuesday, Weds and Thursday.

So anyone up for an IRL on any Monday or Friday, just shout

I think it will be ToW Stage 1 at 7 o'clock on Thursday Not a meetup started by @bridgy, but the official Zwift event. We will then use the ZwiftPower time fpr the league.

Speaking of which @peterob, have you managed to update the league table yet for the final times?

Yes! And just to add if anyone who wants to get involved in the league table for the Tour of Watopia stages but can't make the 7pm on Thursday time slot, the stage is being run at a number of other times throughout the week so you can do it another time and let us know your ZwiftPower time on here (use the ZP time, not the time shown on screen as they sometimes differ and ZP time is the correct one).

The more the merrier on Thursday at 7pm though!

I recently got some zuss 50mm wheels and couldn’t be happier. Warranty and crash replacement made it an easier decision over the very popular Yoeleo wheels.
Less than £600 including nice red nipples and tubeless tyres fitted.

Red nipples? Reminds me of doing a long ride in my Cyclechat jersey!

I've been away for the weekend but I'll gather the latest results and update the final table shortly

Next table should be simpler, without the handicap stuff.

 

[Whorty]

anyone fancy trying to convince Bill to come across to Zwift to ride the ToW and join the new league? I get told off when I post on the 'light side' thread

 

[peterob]

So here is the final table of the Cyclechat league!

Again, we are all chasing @bridgy as he continues to perch proudly at the top. It was a strong consistent display over the course of the league, setting the fastest time on all but two of the stages .

Good performances throughout and there'll be lots of close battles continuing into the ToW league. @Whorty's meteoric ascent up the places continues as quickly as his weight descends.

Onto the Tour of Watopia league. If you want to take part, just make sure you are part of Team Cyclechat in ZwiftPower.

Thursday is out for me this week so I’m probably going to ride Stage 1 at 18:00 on Tuesday
