Zwift Chat

[<Tommy>]

Just wait until I convince everyone to come for a ride in Yorkshire... and with your help there will be no excuses! Memories galore! There is no berg more difficult than convincing Mrs Joff to run 20 of us to the BLACK SHEEP BREWERY in shuttle runs.... Try to do that at 4 w/kg over 20 mins

Well at least we know who will be sharing a room!

Always up for a meet up bud 👍👍

Ideally in a hotter climate than Blighty but it really would be great just to have a big get together next summer wouldn’t it! And why not Yorkshire.

Speaking of alp d’huez it made me go look at the Strava segment for Cyclchat. I think a few of them are rides that were done on bkool rather than real world. But there’s still a surprising amount of cc’ers who have been over there and put a time up. Bridgy going over there next summer with one of his friends too. No doubt he’s looking at the leader board and sharpening his knives as we speak! 😁

Maybe another suggestions for next year (covid permitting…), would be a cc trip to somewhere like Majorca. It’s possible to do relatively cheaply And it kind of lends itself to large groups.

If I'm still riding in the summer, would be up for a meetup. Maybe we could do some sort of light-ish sportive like the Lancashire 161?

Just bought myself a pair of bib shorts and those sexy meshed t-shirts. Still just missing a real bike which I find quite ironic

Your warming new friend has plenty spare bikes, ask nicely

Unless that podium photo was not an optical illusion, I don't think he'll have anything in my size

Rude !
camera angles are cruel !
I once had the misfortune to stand in between tommy and Rak at a bar where the woman behind the bar was standing on a platform -felt like I had fell thru the floor boards ! Or landed in the world of giants

First ever b race win!

Only 8 on zwiftpower and technically I stayed within C limits (unlike the C who won the whole race) but v happy with the sprint finish

Hypothetical question…. If a guy wins a league race on a day you can’t make. But then you beat that guy a few days later. Does that mean you should then be at the top of the league in an honorary capacity? Asking for a friend 😌

Spoiler: Thanks for the motivation Andy!

Forever the bridesmaid

Hard to say - depends if the person you beat / absolutely thrashed was trying or not - maybe if you done a league ride it might help decide

I think you might be slightly biased 😄

To be fair it was all down to that one hill near the start.

What do mean if you’re still riding ?
I know people who turbo race are an odd bunch ( you know who you are ) but once you start seeing progress this winter , I think you will really get the bug and it will set you up for next year a treat
You really seem keen at moment and this is the hardest part , keep looking at strava and seeing your times - and target the people in front - you will catch them
