Zwift Chat

[JuhaL]

You boys- it’s not a race don’t ya know!

No we don’t and zwift doesn’t either. Description in companion app says it’s a trip and end of a description it says it’s gonna be a fast one. Fast picnic

Well done to those who've already had a crack at Stage 2. I need to fit it in either tomorrow or Thursday as I'm away to Spain on Friday

I've updated the league table with the early results. Let me know if you think I've missed anything or you have any complaints about your categorisation

Hi Pete - any chance you could add me in please?

Thanks

You tell @CXRAndy that ! There I was, trying to have a leisurely ride with him and he's pushing massive watts and trying to get away Maybe we didn't want to hear my stories of weight loss

His number s dont look right over 300W at 80kg he should of been miles in front

He only came past me towards the end ... maybe he wasn't pushing hard early on ... don't know. I'm sure the first time I saw him it was last but but (or last) lap. Wonder if he's on Strava so we can compare ..... as I thought, I only saw him later on, he past me at about 27km in. Maybe he was taking it easy at first.

In his youtube channel is full video of that stage. He did livesteam broadcast.

Looks like he purposefully dropped to the back of the ride during the lead in, and then attacked from there. Pretty impressive going

He was 3.8 average. A few who finished around him were as low as 3.3 so probably drafting well.

Was gonna have a crack at stage 2 at 7pm with Bridgy and others but too tired! Will do a sub2 ride instead. Will have a go at stage 2 at 9am tomorrow if anyone around. Off for a couple of days with MrsB so can’t do Thursday.

He drops back to 1000th during the lead in, then starts to ride hard from there. He catches me at 44:57. I close in on him again around 47:17. He catches up with @CXRAndy at about 52:40 and pips him on the line!

Some good times tonight on stage 2 Well done all.

 

[Specialeyes]

Just finished Stage 2 - 49:41, 278w, 3.3w/kg. Pretty pleased with that. Clearly the secret is to rush online 30 seconds before the start, have no warmup at all and just push until you nearly puke! Simples

Paul- 5m 01s for a volcano lap?!?

 

[bridgy]

Zwift was kind enough to actually stop the clock when I crossed the finish line this time - very generous of them! 48.01 for me for stage 2. Bit of an odd stage with several short Laps so you're soon lapping people and it gets increasingly difficult to stay with a group due to passing - and getting caught in the sticky draft of - all the groups of lapped riders.

Oh yeah - that's quite a big PR actually! Shame all the other laps weren't quite as quick!
