Anyone seen anything on the rollout of the new user interface? Think it was a couple of months ago now that they said the roll out was starting?

Has anyone seen it beyond a PR screenshot? Still seems like vapourware at this point?!

No haven’t seen anything ln that front. What about the clubs feature - I thought it was also getting rolled out?

 

[<Tommy>]

I think the club features are being tested by some of the established clubs.

Anyone entering steering races? That seems to have died on its arse a bit. Always a bit half baked aren’t they?… probably pumping lots of time and money into the new turbo hardware.

I’m racing at 15:45 if anyones at a loose end.

Burnt lungs from Crit City

14th in C category ZP

I came 34th from 80 on Zwift, lots of DQs

A week off had me gasping. I had to let front 15 or so go and pick up the chasing pack.

I held on with them, but had nothing spare HR wise to up for a sprint.

Legs were strong, weak lungs

That's great progress though Andy ... you'll be back in B in no time

Flattery will get you everywhere

Only time I could run with Bs in my pomp, was on totally flat terrain.

My D numbers due to my weight can stick with Cs over short to mid distance.

I need another 20-30W to get near the front of C.

Weight wise, Im quite liking my bigger weight lifting legs than a desire to slim down. I'll just see how that goes over this year.

Ive been walking a fair bit(for me). Only so much time to dedicate to each aspect

Same as me with Bs ... flat course I can hang on, but any lumps over 30 secs in duration and I'm toast!

I'm same as you re weight, body shape .... I could stop doing weights and lose some body muscle, drop kgs off my body, be faster cyclist, but I like how I am. Prefer to be a bit beefy on arms and shoulders even if I'm slower in races lol

Anyone previously experienced loads of HRM dropouts to ATV? just noticed on my last two rides. Not sure if it will flag up for DQ in races?

Sorry the picture quality is rubbish, took it whilst cycling, you can just about make out the red line periodically dropping to zero.

I think you’re selling yourself short there Carl. With your weight and power I think It’s fairly obvious you could race in B if you wanted to and you had the belief 👍.

What HRM are you using Straas?

From my experience though if you show heart rate at some point in the race you’re usually ok

 

[BurningLegs]

I’ve had that with wahoo tickr and Apple TV @straas - a new coin cell sorted it 👍

 

[straas]

Think the make is coospoo, an Amazon snide.

I'll give a coin battery a try can NEVER find the pack when I need them though.

I occasionally get dropouts with my Garmin HRM. No rhyme or reason…. Never had a DQ apart from the time I misplaced my strap and rode without.

If you fancy spending some money I’ve found the ones you can charge via usb more reliable.
