Some really awful news, just posting more widely as it was on the 2022 targets thread

Thanks for sharing that Michael, I don't think I'd have seen it otherwise. Really sad news

Awful news. Didn't get to know Richard too well but he seemed like a really good chap that always tried looking at the positives.

Horrible news.

Horrible news.

I've been thinking the past few months as I've been looking for, now in the buying process for the flat in Beckenham, that I was going to ping TB to see if he wanted to do some local rides over the summer. He lived just up the road in Anerley.

Just shows how fragile life is. I've been saying to anyone who will listen this past 15 months, don't waste a day and live each day to the full as we don't know when our time will come. It's times like this with TB, and Rach, and other friends I've lost young, that really does give you a kick up the backside to shake yourself out of the stupor and enjoy life.

Ultimately we all have the same destination, it's only our journeys that differ.

New club option allows rides in event only maps. How about a CC 2 lap race if the Bologna time trial course? Once the league has finished or perhaps in the meantime one weekend? Go on - you know you want to.

Nice idea. However I can't see the Bologna course anywhere on either the pre-packaged rides or the choose your own routes in my own private club of 1 . Almost everything else is there one way or another, but can't see that one. 😢

I think they are rolling out the event only courses over the next few weeks

1st race as Cat C tonight ,Kichmair race ,Wandering flats . The winning run came to an end 9th out of 13 . Hung on to the pack until a hill 5km from the end then could not hold the wheels . Annoyingly got rolled in a 2 up sprint as I went too early 300mts and he just got past me on the line . Matched by best power average 2.6wkgs and normalized power of 201w . At least no Cat D racers beat me I was 2 mins clear of them . How do you get relegated?

By relegated you mean drop from C to D on ZwiftPower?

That site takes an average of 95% of your 3 best 20 min. efforts over the last 90 days. If that number falls below 2.5W/kg you go down to D.

LaGuardia is there as a pre-packaged sprint race. Crit City is there as a free choice route. Hopefully, as you say, the rest will follow

I was Joking about getting relegated

 

[alex_cycles]

How do you get relegated?

You would need your best three races or events on Zwift Power in the last 90 days to have 0.95 * your average power = 2.4 w/kg and below.
