Zwift Chat

Pics of the tat? I’m assuming it incorporates Team CycleChat somehow?

That was an option, but I went for my wife's name instead (I figured she'll be with me long after I have stopped cycling!) tattoo is full length of forearm (took pic myself so not great!).

Need to book some more time with tattooist but it's finding the time. Now I have found one down here I like it should be a bit easier to sort out

Should probably go out on the road this morning... can I be bothered though??

Get out! Some mates going off into Kent today. I would love to to join them but Mrs B had surgery yesterday and I need to be at home. I have got a wedding to watch too!

I'll have to try and improve this segment

Good time Bob

Please don't. I'm not at the top of many leaderboards

Which segment is that?

 

[CXRAndy]

Thought I would try and get conversations started - you know what I am like - a right gabbler
Went out today and look what I bumped into - and let me tell you - it’s anything but flat around folksworth! Some 150ft ers - nothing like dd but definitely not flat

Please don't. I'm not at the top of many leaderboards

I've actually got a decent time from the szr segment last year which is only .2 mile different.

 

[bobinski]

I get confused as to whether those segments only show TT bike times.

Nah, metal plate removed from leg so a lot of pain and groggy. She has to wear a boot for a month and use crutches so almost as troubling as my knee

Did you mention your knee to your wifes doctors? I can just imagine her rolling her eyes

Speedy recovery Mrs B!

Even I know better than to do that. She was delayed 4-5 hours longer at the hospital than planned so I had little to do rather than a tour of central London bike shops I walked 23000 steps knee proper fecked after that but I kept it to myself. Honest
Condor has some gorgeous new steel gravel disc bikes built up with Campagnolo. 3.5k for the frame. But no Evade helmets- all Kask.

I’m sure bike shops have just worked out that people buy helmets online so don’t really bother stocking too much. Maybe people even try them in the shop first then buy them online which must be grating.

Actually rode outside yesterday I did a fairly swift 50 miler which reminded me what road riding is all about! That makes about 160 outside miles this year compared to 2,100 indoors.

I pushed fairly hard with an IF of 0.83 for 3 hours which seems like a decent warm up for ToC.

I went out too yesterday after my initial reluctance. So glad I did. Call to 'fame' on the ride, getting the 88th best time up a a climb out of 523 riders. Also smashed my mate by 3 minutes over 0.4m! That 0.1mph average is annoying though...

Very pleased with that, pushing me up to 450m for the year. Way behind you guys! Comparing it to my last outdoor ride 6 weeks ago there's a big increase in fitness:

I like how I'm no longer the one getting overtaken on rides, it's me seeing riders in the distance and mopping them up bar the odd few. Thank you Zwift.
