I'm biased, but I'd love to propose a TT race but setting up our bike as a 'SS' ... by that I mean we select a single gear pre-race and can't change gera throughout the race. Need to pick a gear that you can spin up on flats, but still get over the lumps. Have to set trainer realism as 100% too

Anyone up for this?

Back to back rides?!? Very strong! I could barely get off the bike after my one attempt! Feeling weak...
What trainer or PM you using? Please don’t say NEO because that will make me feel even worse

Bkool + Favero Assioma PM is my guess.

The Assioma’s? Darn- can’t even put his power down to bkool fairy dust!

I won't say I enjoyed it, but I got to the top before the end of my workout . Didn't note the time as I was doing a 2 and 1/2 hr workout with about 50 minutes in z1. I saw you go past and the proceed to complete the next 3 segments in the time it took me to do the one I was on .

I've earnt my beers tonight (out with family), but maybe should go a lot easy as I've gained 2 kilo in the last week or so due to illness and a lack of exercise (still seemingly eating for three)

Unless he uses the Bkool for power in Zwift - we’ll never know. Would be nice if both powersource and trainer info was available on ZwiftPower.

Except we are a trusting bunch here so if he says he use pedals for power we would accept that.

He is going for ZP accreditation, the big orange Z

Good guess!

Yes I run the Assiomas on the turbo trainer and occasionally outdoors and have done since December. Before that I artificially upped my weight by 10-15% in an attempt to compensate for the bkools inaccuracy but as you can imagine that killed me on the hills and I would fly by people on the descents

He is mad! In the nicest possible way -our own miniature John Wayne

On Zwift today I had the misfortune to briefly ride with a mr s Cummins
That brings it home to you doesn’t it ! - he flew by at 6w/kg so couldn’t resist clicking on his name - heart rate was 135 !! I can’t even fall back on chess as a second option

I would be - but only have a dumb trainer so no resistance changes.
