Zsun group ride this morning. 2 Laps of big loop so up Watopia then into jungle and around volcano twice. Knew I only really had time for one lap and so struck out a bit faster than most though not as fast as the A cat racers who went for it, 2 1/2 min faster up kom. PB but still slower than you Pro users , Lee excepted. Loving the jungle route too.
Anyways, I was gonna suggest we all do the loop sometime next week as a CC group ride.

The sad thing is I'm taunted when I log into the website to download my ride data as it shows 170+k ft of climbing. Too much done before I realized I should be doing the everest/tron thingie.

Yep, me too. Should have automatically given us the tron bike! 16000m to go ​

Not surprised you're not as fast others .... pushing only 88 watts with a heart rate of 176 .... how unfit are you?!?

Not as fit as you Whorty looking at our times!
Eased off the watts to take the pic. HR just beginning to drop from 180.

I struggle to get my HR that high in Zwift, but almost always do in a BKool race. Am I working harder in Bkool as it's a TT style race, or could I be grinding rather than spinning more in Zwift? Can't work it out

As for times ... yeah, sorry

Edit : which times exactly? Whenever I look at segments in Strava I'm usually well down still on CCers even though I have the Pro.

 

[bobinski]

You clearly not trying hard enough!

Strava cc times so;
Watopia kom above.
Not sure if Lee’s is done on pro or not.

Well that's embarrassing, bottom of the list.

There’s another 14 BUT you are already a winner because you are on the list

Haha. Thanks, I'm the winning loser!

You are higher up on the other lists and normally much faster than me!

Yes, perhaps of interest faster 6 are on pro’s bar Dave? Not sure about Lee though given when he did his fastest ride. But even on pros those are darned good times.

A recent datum for Cyclechat' times on Zwift, should be LBHIFI, he uses power meter pedals with a Bkool pro unit as resistance.

Remember he used to pan most of us when in the Bkool races

I'm on a Neo. Not been up there in a long long time so think I can go bit quicker!
