Zwift Chat

[Ketty]

Just had a brain wave as I started this thread:

https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/yorkshire-beast-2022.281169/

Anyone want to join myself and @Ketty as we try and do this? I have a mate with a couple of Air B&B's local to me so I can book you accommodation and a wife who will run us all to the Black Sheep Brewery at Masham for recovery beers!

Can’t wait pal.

Well, if you come to London LOOKING for , err, trouble, you will surely find it 👍😁

naive of me to think a public toilet is a place to go for an urgent piddle
should have known that the future up and coming gangsters hold office in there
could have died you know - but i dont talk about it

I don’t think this has been mentioned but any ATV users should avoid riding the Alpe. There’s a known issue with zwift collapsing just near the top that they still haven’t fixed.

At least you admit you only had yourself to blame 👍

Were they definitely going to stab you in the public conveniences @berty bassett ?

They might have just been very friendly? 🙈🙂

Big dilemma here:
2km non-drafting hillclimb race to top of Watopia KOM from the pier.
Bike options are:

• Cervelo P5 with DT Swiss (aero)
• Bridgestone Anchor with Meilensteins (lightweight)
• Tron

I went Tron. Died a bit towards the end and made the schoolboy error of dropping off the power when I crossed the KOM line, not the blue finish line, and getting mugged for two places! Oh well…

ZwiftPower is showing a NP of 426W for 3:42, which is a PB. My time up the KOM (2:00) was 19s slower than my PB, but that had been set without arriving there after a lung-bursting effort.

NP of 426W for 3:42

I did the Leprechaun Classic with Al. He was in C and me in D. Al faired a bit better than me with top 5. I finished something like 19th on the road detached from anyone else, lost 7 places on the last lap to high cat rides out for a 4W/kg tootle. However ZP has me 6th in D with potentially 3 more above out of category.

Why do so many ride well outside of category? I stayed in the top 10 for 3 of the 5 laps but again was dropped when the leaders were holding 5W/kg in the volcano sections and 3W on the flat sections. Alone, solo, speeds and lap times just bleed away.
