Its a tough one, I would be comfortably in the front pack on a C paced ride (and have been before) but there was a hell of a difference in pace moving up to B. over a 20 mile race I'm right on the 3.2 w/k threshold.

I don't have the same With/Kg to you but have ok power so can do alright on flatter courses, but do lose out when alot of climbing is involved. I like the racing especially for about an hour. I have this early part of the year get in some distance for longer sportives Late April and May so dip my toe into some races from time to time.
I figured I would pop and say hi - although not a Bkool splitter I have been on Zwift for a while and do the odd race / group ride.
I certainly notice the difference between racing on a Wattbike and my Vortex Smart at home - try as I might I cannot get the W/KG to match my perceived effort, the Vortex is always about 2.5 over a very tough hour, where on the Wattbike I am at 3.1.

Events at Westminster mean travel chaos and I won't be home in time for the early rides. I might try and ride later instead depending on what available.
Stay safe Bob. I left early today as wasn't sure what Waterloo would be like, but trains not too bad thankfully.
Would be keen if it wasn't for the fact that my Mom is coming over and, as it's Mother's day Sunday, I feel I should pay her some attentionWho is doing on Saturday morning the
Maratona dles Dolomites eFondo.
44miles a fair bit of climbing at your own pace.
I might do this instead of Friday outdoor. Busy few days
Will see how it goes but def will do looking to do some kind of ride Saturday

Yeah, bloody mad Poles
I really liked the ride coz it was like being in the Battle of Britain, with the English flight trainer trying to reign the Polish recruits in and them ignoring him and shooting down a few planes! Made me proud do be a Pole-and I like the kit. Mind you, they should advertise it more accurately

I was going to post about this. If I cannot get out for a rlr Saturday then I will do it. No sign of a kit, leader or discord so could be a bit chaotic
. But climbing would be good now I have belatedly signed up for the Everest challenge which I could have got already

I am most definitely Cat D ... maybe mid, maybe lower, but most definitely not Cat C
Rode 30 miles tonight, with 3000ft of climbing. Chain came off at one point when climbing the big hill, took me a few mins to get it back on, then had to go for a 'p' and grab a drink. Bit of a pain, but enjoyed the rest. Just need to do that 2.5 more times and that's the DD done
