@Daddy Pig A blast from the past! Welcome back mate. Watch out for this old bkoolers trying to drag you back into bkool- however nice they seem. They are only looking for fresh meat

Stage 4 done…a fair bit slower than I would have liked. Lost main group on first snapper. Fell off a smaller group on the second. The third? You get the picture. Reeled in 30 or so on the KOM but still slow. Legs just about coping but lower back is a bugger. Will see how it is tomorrow. Would be a real disappointment to drop out. Really enjoying the bants and camaraderie on the rides.
How was it for you Pete and Phil?

Stage 4 FRR done ,I will call it death by leg snapper . Dumped the disc wheels for deep section zip 808 who knows if it made a difference , fatigue kicked in tonight , Steady start then all hell broke lose up the leg snapper I blew up just before the top and was disappointed with a 1min 3 ,just lost the front group, just got back on as the sprint kicked off never saw the front again , cruised until a group caught me had a 2nd go at the snapper 3 secs slower gave up segment chasing and just cruised in the bunch to the KOM . Just went into survival mode and paced it didn't lose or gain any places , 30th in Cat 2.6w/kg .
Tomorrows stage is just 4 sprints and a small lump called alpe de something ,

I was fumbling around looking for it, but I edited that part out

Hi Alex,

At last I played with the settings on Sauce . Got the elevation profile loaded onto the screen. Took a little sizing so it didn't hide the Zwift buttons .

Seems all good, and changes profile with each course with lap markers.

Is there a way to add in sprint markers on the profile ?

Well I have just bailed on the FRR Tour. Got to the Alp with Del but my back told me one more revolution of the pedals and it would mess me up. Who am I to argue with my back. Legs are happier too 😁
Del was going great👍

It can be quite easy to destroy yourself on these tours just to finish ,when listening to your body makes more sense ,
Out of interest were people still going for the sprints

1st ride of the new year today, around 2.5-3 hours a day overtime this week meant I was too knackered to ride at all .wish I hadn't bothered tbh I'm just worn out

Yes, they were still sprinting. It was a big group and stretched out on each of the sprints and I just managed to get back on after the third and just before the Alp.
Good luck later👍

I believe there is a Mod that has segment markers, but I haven't tried it. I think it's called ZenMaster and details on the Sauce Discord https://discord.com/channels/744994375469367316/1187497643946037259
