That's impressive. Just keep making your power and stamina gains then Andy

If I could hold a bit more power over 60 miles then I think I'm running near my peak.

Wife reckons I'm nearly as light as I was when I got married nearly 30 years ago

It isn't going to happen Bob, I've lost a bit of weight and hope to shave a few more kilos before spring. I've looked back and this time last year I had put a bit of weight on. I'm nearly 2 stone lighter now.

Since taking up cycling I've lost just short of 4 stone

Big power and big weight loss! Congrats Andy

I was meant to do a TR session, but had a bad nights sleep. My intention was to pootle around on Zwift. Soon as I started in Zwift I felt good, so raised my power and was able to hold it quite well whilst climbing. The hard part was forcing myself to power down the hill instead of easing off. Hung on for the flat section till the finish.

Wife called me with 8K's to go. Told me the oil delivery man was coming ....in fr**ing 8 days .
Well, I got dropped from the front group on a downhill section earlier, and landed reasonably comfortable in the next group.
I'm right at my limit in the front group so the slightest mistake have devastating consequences. I really need to practice Zwift racing some more.

I've given you lightweights a target for the reverse Pretzel loop. I'd expect the time you gain going up should be enough to cancel my flat and downhill speed. Solo rides please

do you mean the ride you did today ? 19 miler ?

 

[CXRAndy]

do you mean the ride you did today ? 18 miler ?

Yep . Your pretzel best times don't count cos they were on a Bkool pro. Let's see how a torn shoulder back from the grave Cyclechat' member can do?

Absolutely bloody chapeau Lee!

5.42 faster than me All taken on the climb, but held to the line!

Even Faster than me downhill to the finish, you can see any bump Lee makes gains, where I gain when the hill is steepest

Andy I tried to do a trainer road session earlier but the app was playing up. My training plan wouldn’t load up for some reason... zwift was working fine so I just pootled around for a bit. That ever happened to you? I wanted to start tonight as it sort of sets out the days for you. Don’t wanna wait another week. If I start on Thursday will it adjust the calendar / recognise the change in schedule?

MEDIC !
