He rides in the Club A ride. He'll be kickin' ass once he learns the ropes. He's definitely not a C by power.
But he was probably also riding the Zwift Carbon with shite wheels.
It does make you realise that there really IS some skill to this. It's not JUST about power.

I enjoyed watching myself come around Carl.
That's something that NEVER would have happened back in the day
You did well there. I should have gone earlier. Not sure I could have though. It's always easy to say that afterwards.
There's research coming out that it helps with menopause too for women - cognition and sleep being key areas it can improve. My gf takes 5grm per day too and she thinks it helps (she also trains with me in the gym and it's probably helping there too).

There is absolutely a technique, as wheelsuckers like me can testify to. i rarely if ever have a higher w/kg than those around me in a race, letting others do the work, kicking where I need to for lumps, sitting in and resting in between. I assume very much like real racing, but I don't have to worry about my shyte bike handling skills when I'm on Zwift

I don't have a sprint at the end of a hard ride at the moment. My fitness is just not what it was, with 6 months off then the blinkin chest infection last month. BUT, I'm getting better and fitter so only a matter of time until I'm back towards the top of C again.
Since riding again I'm 2kg lighter, still looking to lose another 5-7 kg in the next 6 months. That should make a difference too. I'm retiring (again) in March, so will have the chance to ride more often, I'm hoping that helps me shed the pounds and get me competitive again,
Then ... revenge will be served up
(maybe haha)

Hey let's actually get out in the real world for a ride this year. See if we can hit up Martin as well for an old gits club ride
I reckon it won't be long before you're back to the top of C.

Definitely up for that. Being retired means most days of the week can be available.

I'm based near Bath, Martin is Warwick, somewhere in the Cotswolds maybe? I'm up for a meet once the weather is warmer
