1:16:04 for me on Stage 2 of the Tour of Watopia yesterday. Are we doing a league of this or not, I’m unsure??
I got the impression most people didn't want to commit to both ToW racing and TdS. Certainly, @Peter Salt and myself are in that position. I'm doing ToW more slowly and for fun and focussing on the XP and badges for the 5 new routes. Also the weather is getting nicer (outdoors for the win! :laugh:). But if there's enough who want to, why not?

Here in Finland is too much ice and snow for now so I need to wait at least one month before I can even think outdoor ride. When all that is melted then comes sharp "tyre killer" crushed stone. Maybe in a May all is clear.
The sun was shining this morning and I almost decided "outdoor" instead of my planned "one lap of the ToW stage 2 A ride". But I looked at the temperaure 3.7°C and decided to stick to my plan. Did my first club ride of the year on Saturday (60 miles) which was nice though. Zwift is great and the racing is fun, but outdoor is what it's all about for me. :okay:

Here is now nearly +10°C and shining as well but over the night is cold, for example last night was -9°C. I can nearly wait either to go out with my bike. Now my bike suppose to be more safe to ride concerning to Specialized Tarmac SL7 voluntarily recall. Compression ring and expander was replaced.

It's a wee bit arbitrary doing the ToW by times as well as the drafting effect of a couple of thousand riders can skew scores.

Never stopped us before ^_^

That said, I'm not really worried about doing a league table of times for it this time round as we have either ZRL or TDS going - I think I'll try and do the stages but will treat some as races and others as just group rides depending on how I feel

I think this might be a bit different as not all of the new (rebel) routes are longer rides (cat A). Triple Flat Loops (stage 2 rebel route) is the B (normal) ride and stage 3 rebel ride (Downtown Titans) is C (shorter ride).

Yeah I agree. We’ve done leagues based around these tours enough times in the past that have been a good laugh. But theres more going on at the moment so I’ll probably not complete all of them.
