Is there a list of courses, profile etc for this Worldy cuppy thing?

Is there a list of courses, profile etc for this Worldy cuppy thing?

I can't find one, but tonight's race is 3 laps of the London loop (44km) - I guess the route will depend on what Zwift course is being used at the time of each race?

Well, I have.
I had to break my collarbone in 3 pieces and rip it away from it's shoulder mounting to get mine. What did you (Berty) do to get yours?

I tried stopping a car with my head in the summer the physio thinks collar bone is detached from shoulder joint but struggling to get a scan sorted
Is sandbagging when you don’t do your fair share at the front ? In a flat race I struggle I keep in the group - would I be moaned at ?

Lee its a wonder how you keep cycling let alone working!

Reading this had me silently singing “the hip bone is connected to the thigh bone etc...”

Sandbagging is when you enter a category race below your known ability, so say cat B in a cat C. So no, you are no sandbagger.

I was doing z2/3 hill repeats this morning and got really cheesed off with a rider who just sat in behind me much of the way. I put out 5-6w to get away and promptly blew up

That’s 3 x up Box Hill tonight for you racers
I may watch.

Stephen Turner. I broke away from the group on the second run up box hill, then suffered a trainer disconnection on the downhill and had to drop 600 watts on the last quarter mile to make up the places I lost!

I think we kept switching draft on the second lap with 3 others

Yep, I recall it well. I couldn't sustain more than 3.1 w/kg on that second climb. See you on another race.

There’s also this on Thursdays at 8pm-similar format.

Oh. So it is

The race I did last night - same as you @Norry1 - was just two laps of the same course and that was hard enough!

Still, it's good for the climbing challenge I suppose....

Well get yourself registered for the Tuesday 7pm races in Bracket B and we can see if we can work together!

I was very tempted but I’ve got to give trainerroad a proper go and resist the urge to race. Nothing to do with the 3x up box hill honest...

Paul, sorry- I should have kept my mouth shut

 

[berty bassett]

Is it worth us doing the 7 pm one tonight instead of 5.15 ?
