Yeah, can be a good way of finishing off a GC based race series - @IrishAl do you remember that series we did a while ago where we started the final stage TT just a few seconds apart in GC? I do remember it for some reason, can't think why....

A TT round the flat new roads of Neokyo would be good. We could start riders in reverse GC order 30 seconds / 1 minute apart like a proper Grand Tour

. It's a nice idea though - just a shame Zwift don't make it easier for us to do things like that.If we do all just set off together at least the lack of drafting (if everyone remembers to choose a TT bike - another thing it would be nice to make automatic when setting up the race) means it's still individual efforts being measured - and you can keep a close eye on those near you on GC - if you can keep up with them

If you want to do it properly, then we may as well sign up to a cromulent Zwift TT event and extract the times from that. Let's see what's on at 19:45 on Wednesday...I can't see anything at all going wrong with everyone setting off at 30 second intervals perfectly correctly and then working out correct riding times afterwards

But that would (potentially) take away the ability to see time gaps to your rivals in the GC. As there's no drafting with TT bikes anyway I don't see why we don't all just set off together in a meetup raceIf you want to do it properly, then we may as well sign up to a cromulent Zwift TT event and extract the times from that.

I like the idea of reverse grid for the final TT. It would be very motivating to see everyone go past me
Yup, agree. And ours needs to be longer.

Last time we did one of those, I managed to hold on for the win- not that anyone is talking about it

Are we not all waiting for Michael to tell us how he is getting on with his NEO bike? Thats if it was still on the door step
To be fair Andy, we can only remeber so far back in time....Last time we did one of those, I managed to hold on for the win- not that anyone is talking about it

Not got any suggestions for routes or bikes or anything really - just thought that wonderful spreadsheet is worth another look 👍👍
This is how we run the virtual TT for my road club.
Just seen Lars posted a small ride on Strava.

I remember doing a similar race on here once (don't know if it was before or after the one you're talking about), back when I was still a D rider and was set off first with all the Cs and Bs behind. Unlike @CXRAndy I didn't hold on for the win (the course involved Leith Hill, so that was never going to happen!) but I was proud that I managed to hold on to my 30 second advantage for almost 15 minutes. Of course once one rider overtook me, it was then a veritable train of people constantly passing me after that, but I had my (short) moment in the sun!Last time we did one of those, I managed to hold on for the win- not that anyone is talking about it
