If dodgy saddles, broken turbos, painful undercarriages, excess phlegm or glorious sunshine isn't keeping you off the trainer, you may be interested in the times posted for Stage 7 of the TdW league that you'll be looking to better......

Some decent early results already in for the stage, with Lars setting the early pace. Well Done! Personally, I'm finding it hard to find the enthusiasm for an alpine slog on the turbo when the sun is shining outside!!

Let's just finish this league here and now shall we? No need for any more attempts at stage 7 chaps

My stage 7 ride last night wasn't that great tbh - climb of the Alpe was a fair bit slower than previous bests and I felt pretty crap for most of it. Neck still hurting from DD ride too which is a bit worrying for TOC. Definitely not doing it again tonight though!!

I’m hoping to do the 6pm race. Not feeling it really. This tour has helped me get stronger for sure but its starting to feel like a bit of a chore with the weather being so nice.

De ja vu. No invite again... this time I logged in hours ago.

Starting two mins down... my last race in this series. Life too short.

Why does this keep happening to you?????!!!!!

Why does this keep happening to you?????!!!!!

It’s crazy. I don’t know what to do differently. All I can think is if I got on earlier maybe the invite would pop up sooner. But I don’t have time for a big warm up.

On the flip side I was riding on pure anger. 2 minutes late. Started rock bottom 269th and finished 24th.

So a big fuk you to the Zwift gods!!!

Edit: @peterob 16th place for 1:18:21

Did the 5 pm Stage 7 today , couldn’t manage the 7 pm . Got in a bunch of about fifteen for first 15 km before the Alpe, we were going quite well and I was just keeping in draft and keeping it comfortable . Group split up at the Alpe, bit of a tow for first couple of km then solo slog trying to real a few riders in. Kept it just under threshold and finished quite strong in , 1:15 : 10 and 18 th , thanks @peterob for the admin work .

AAAC- Alp @ 386W (5.1*76kg)

I didn't want to go public on that.
Still working on reality riding that is virtual rather than virtual riding that is not real.

Great time mate.

I just looked at your climb up the alpe on strava and it was ‘only’ 70 odd seconds faster than mine. So you were loads faster than me on the build up. Who would of thought it would be that way around!

 

[CXRAndy]

Yes Andy

How long before the race did you log into Zwift on your pc/apple?

I usually log in 15-20 mins before event. I usually see the event top right indicating 'going'. From there i just ride around until Join appears. It doesnt matter which course Im on I get the notification.

Experiment with a few timings to see if its that. Also check app permissions to see if it blocking Zwift sending join permission to Zwift central
