I'm not going to bore everyone on here with umpteen training updates but if anyone wants to see how it's going, get any ideas or just mock me . I have added a link to my blog and Instagram in my signature. I'm hoping to update weekly with my progress and what the programme entails. Slow start to the amazing content this week but as i get used to it all the quality 'should' improve. Feedback always welcome

Lost 5lbs last week so if that continues I'm hoping I might be able to get some more ZRL points this season.

And whilst I'm here good luck to the B Team tomorrow! 👍

Just had a read of your blog. Nice work, and I'll keep an eye on it as you progress

Cheers Norry. Hopefully my cycling and blogging abilities will improve as the year progresses

@Norry1 is currently king of the blogs here @Joffey - I hope you'll be giving him a run for his money!

Got to be honest, I don't think I will proactively go and check it. Will definitely read if you post a link here when a new entry is available though, so feel free I say

Good plan to do a blog with your fitness/weight loss progress I think - once you put it out there publicly like that you put a little more pressure on yourself to keep it up.

I'm also on a mission to lose a few kgs that I've gradually put on - and hopefully also improve my fitness in the process. (I won't do a blog though, I'll just use yours for inspiration ). My motivational target is my trip to the Alps and the TDF in July, and the thought of having to carry every excess gram of weight up those big climbs!

Not off to a good start though as I've got a bit of a lingering lurgy which is making it hard to exercise as much or as intensely as I'd like to

Is there a comments section at the bottom? 😇

Thought I'd put out an appeal just in case - is there anyone else on here who might be interested in taking the final spot in the CCC Team squad for the upcoming ZRL season?

I know there's a handful of riders on here who while historically they would race with the B's, because they are coming back off injury or returning to Zwift after a long absence, are currently ranked as C's or D's on ZwiftPower. This might be a chance for you to get back into racing without running the risk of being blown out the back of a B field in the first few km and being left solo-ing the rest of the ride (been there, done that, not fun).

And even if you don't fancy racing, some weeks we might just need an extra person to join us so we have a full complement of riders - finishing last in our league typically gets the team 5-6 points which can make all the difference (and it's quite easy to pick up a few more points than that).

If anyone is interested, you can reply on here or drop me a private message.

What time zone are CCC in?

 

[Whorty]

What time zone are CCC in?

19:45 race time I think

 

[steverob]

EMEA North Div 2; officially 19:45, but it looks like our race starts will be 19:48.

Yes... but heavily moderated

Just read your end of year summary @Joffey - you've certainly set yourself a challenge! I actually got sweaty palms reading the stats.

I know! It's gonna be tough! So far I've lost 5lbs so if I can keep that up for a few weeks I'll be on the way.

A friend of mine is selling his very nice, barely used 3 year old Santa Cruz Stigmata gravel/CX bike if anyone's in the market for one - I can vouch for the very low mileage he's done on it (possibly partly due to my failure to get a gravel bike myself and go gravel riding with him, much to his annoyance!)

Anyway, very nice bike in excellent condition https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/445114313774143/

Feel free to DM me if interested and have any questions

 

[berty bassett]

Buy it off him Paul - really nark him

I can be a substitute for anyone not being available.

Im a D cat , just nudging bottom end C W/kg numbers.

Ill update my weight this week on ZP which would probably officially make me C .

I will wait for others with better numbers to take the official last team spot.
