Zwift Chat

Might be tempted to “wasp “you up the mountain won’t be the first time I’ve been called annoying little prick !! - not even the first time this month !!!

Not sure I can ride slow enough for you to be able to ride with me .... you'll end up falling off unless you can do track stands Be good to have company though. My PB is mid 70's so I'm hoping to beat that

you can filter CC results from ZP. Not sure if possible to export into a spreadsheet or whether this is good enough

It might be better if it also included people who don’t have cc after their name too. ( I know you don’t finish the race this time bob but you might do in the future )

brusgaard was in the mix as well - came between me and paul

Anyone ever used rollers on Zwift?

 

[Whorty]

bit early for me I wont get on until about 6.30 which might be to late for u

sorry, late for me. WFH and with a hungry wife, so need to get on by about 5:30. Gonna take me a good 75 mins up (plus 10 mins to get to the base to start the climb). Feel free to come join me at 6:30 though, I'll be in a world of pain and not at the top by then. You and @berty bassett together can mock my slow pace

I am not so sure!

Yea, but that means changing teams. I can always copy and paste my derisory effort if needs be

 

[Whorty]

Hmm might well join you what sort of w/kg you looking at

Not sure exactly as never ridden up on the Kickr set at 100% realism. The other night on Innsbruck KoM I was having to push 278 watts at 50 cadence just to keep pedals turning at 13% (I only have a 11-30 cassette on the trainer). My aim would be 2.6 - 2.8 w/kg max for the 75 mins, but as % goes up I may have to exceed this at times just to move the pedals. You'll easily keep up

just whack the music on and plod along - just don't put " flight of the bumble bee "on
not doing anything tonight - was tempted with rw ride but slabbing all day has put paid to that

On work's laptop so can't check ... but would the new 'friends' feature do this for you? So you can stay in your Zsun team (and Brusgaard in Danish team) but so long as we're all friends (I know, it's a stretch) we can see each other. I'll check when on own laptop later

I'll join you probably do around 3 w/kg with some intervals and drop back to you.
What course road to sky?

I start off on the Jungle course. This starts past the entrance into the jungle circuit and hence misses the first part of the Watopia KoM climb. This lets me warm up into the Jungle. As you start the jungle circuit, about 5 mins in, you can manually turn right to get to the Alpe. I'll be on at 5:30, so you could just join me. So long as you join before 5:40 you won't have missed the start to the climb

never tried it but got a set if you want me to give it a go ?
word of warning though - if your getting some -you want to put them somewhere where you can hang on to things when it goes pete tong - cos it will !
are you thinking in combination with pm ? i have a powertap wheel so could put that on and pair up

 

[Brusgaard]

Seems like I missed a big one yesterday! congrats to all who took part. Anyone racing today?

I’ll do the DBR race at 7.05 pm, join us, if you don’t fancy the Alpe.

Yes please mate. I just want to know if you can put out 200 - 250w without spinning like crazy. So if you could note what gear you’re in versus cadence and watts on Zwift that would be really handy. Also the diameter of your rollers if you know it.

I can set it up in my hallway which is narrow enough for me to head slap a wall on the way down if needed.

I was thinking slightly more simply. Everyone just put up their times on here after the race.
