Zwift Chat

Ha!
that was fun for lead and one lap. The B train came steaming past at the 20km mark. I am sure there were some sandbagging As there pushing 4w+.
4 sessions in 36h have taken their toll-off to lie down

couldn't get Zwift to work with watching, fortunately Steen had a live YouTube link. Very exciting as the B pack motored along sweeping up Bob (3) then Martin and Carl, but they upped their game and hung in for long time. Pete was catching all of you but road ran out . I think Carlos won with just 10 secs lead(unless he was lapped)

Excellent riding, a few names disappeared, so not sure if they dropped out Lars, Tommy?

Cyclechat all over the front page

We are getting a big group !
Are all these hare and hounds flat ? Because as fun goes that was marginally more fun than poking lit matches under your eye lids !!

 

[bridgy]

Looks like the Cat Bs very nearly caught the small group of Cat Ds at the front of the race. Well done @Marino.g for being first across the line and @Brusgaard for the quickest time excluding handicap (if I'm reading the results right! )

Winners in each category and overall D won
more complicated to tabulate, !

That was painfull . First crisis after 30 seconds when I had to sprint to catch the B group. Catched the group but they never slowed down enough to make me catch my breath. Had to give up after 5 minutes in dark red zone . Latched on to a god group after that but got a cramp in my right thigh with 16k to go. Limped my way to the finish line from there.

@Brusgaard - well done - couldn't keep up with the blue hat this time

 

[Norry1]

Yep that got hard. Wasn't too hard staying in the front C blob, but when the B's went past I was blowing out my *rse keeping up. Lost contact with 2 miles to go and just pushed hard to ensure @Whorty didn't catch me back up

Good fun though. Well done to all CC'ers especially @Marino.g

 

[Breedon]

Managed to hold on till the B group caught the c's with Norris and carl but just lost focus with some many in the group then gradually lost the draft and they was gone, spent some time with a few c riders and a fellow b until around 5 miles to go when the A train came by and caught the draft and hung on by my finger nails, could see Carl up the road but my legs were screaming at me and again lost the draft and then it was a pain fest till the end with final 2 miles to go.

I'll knock the spreadsheet together this evening. What did we agree? To use the Zwift Power times shown or to use the times minus the handicaps?

I found that tough tonight. Stuck with the fast group of riders until the end of the first lap but was putting myself into the red zone so backed off. Cycled easy for a bit to let my HR regain normaility and let a group of B's catch up (including @LBHIFI) and stuck with them and another 'A' rider that caught us up until the end.

Lars was the only CC'er I saw, which isn't surprising seeing the good times that everyone was putting in up ahead.

 

[Whorty]

Ta Carl but not sure I will last and don’t want to hold you back. I hate this course too!

You did well Bob. That pace was high and you did your fair share of work. Just hope you wasn't pushing your knee too much?!?

 

[Breedon]

My time over the line was 58:06 not including handicap

 

[CXRAndy]

Yes use ZP times and use the difference in start times to build a flashy table

 

[CXRAndy]

Pete your A group leaders were very close to catching everyone. Just shows the handicap is well judge

 

[<Tommy>]

Well ‘progress’ is the word I guess I can use for that race... I didn’t finish but I put in some ok bursts and recovered ok for a while so that is good.

It’s very nice seeing other guys I know pop up the screen and it helped me along. It felt like Berty was there a few times next to me when I felt like I was drowning so that was nice. And Darren, Lars and breedin and brugard of course.
