Hi Phil yes, it's hard getting and keeping that V02 max peaked. I'm way down on my numbers from 2 months off as well

I'm hoping to get it back with 2races a week. I was going to race today but wife booked a restaurant, so we are cycling 25 miles round trip dodging showers

I have completely lost my racing mojo which is where I did all my punchy efforts but with the nice weather the outdoor is always going to win for me . Only been on zwift the last couple of days due to the rain

Yesterday's ride to the Indian restaurant was lovely, dry and sunny. Strong headwind going out, but we flew back 6mph faster than outward speed. Today is blowing a gale 💨💨

Question for you more techy guys . My HRM wahoo tickr is not displaying heart rate on zwift it comes up connected on joining page but then shows no signal . Works ok outdoors and connects to wahoo head unit new battery installed just in case any ideas ?

Great pics 😎



Funny…I also honed in on the socks 😂
Studying some of those photos I think the UCI would have something to say about the sock length of some of those, particulate chap in the yellow jersey 🤔 😂
Where can I get socks like that ??

Yes, definitely illegal socks under UCI rules which would also cover BC sanctioned races.

That is probably be due to the onion and garlic... I still love a good curry though!

Is it connected via Ant+ or Bluetooth?

Are you running a PC or AppleTV. The latter has only a few Bluetooth channels available at any one time.

Alex knows more about Applely stuff. I think you connect extra sensor via the companion app on your phone

Checked my Garmin this morning, it said I had to do a sprint event, so I duly did stage 4 Makuri series.

I was boosted into C from last time, but the boundaries meant I was lowly ranked in the event. It quickly showed when we attacked the first village twisty climb, I put in a big effort to stay near the front, but this pushed me into the red, where I needed to recover a
the leaders just buggered off and left me 🫣

A few other stragglers came past, I managed to latch on as we entered the flat top section on lap one. 2nd lap climb again I was dropped by my little pack, but thankfully some had gone all in early and faded near the top. I got back onto 1 rider where I drafted him on the flat and recovered, before the final descent to the finish.

This is where I would exact my lardy arse revenge 😁

I slowly gained on two 8-9secs in front, we passed another straggler. With 1km to go I got onto their wheels. Recovered and went for a late sprint to snatch a mediocre result 😂

Yes apple TV connected via companion app as I now have steering and it has worked on this set up

Is there anything that might need an update, firmware?
You could try deleting the Bluetooth connection for HRM and re connection

I had issues with some sensors when they try to connect to several things at once. Maybe your HRM is synced to something else and connecting to it in the background and doesn't want to connect to a second thing?
