Welcome @AAAC 76C ! I've requested to follow you on Zwift companion app - if you follow me I'll be able to invite you to our mett up races. I know you can't make Thursdays at 7pm which is a shame, but we'll probably try and set up alternative day/times for races too so hopefully you can join in with some of those when we do.
If you have any questions, you know where to ask!!
Yeah it's going to be a toughie, but I notice none of us have done this particular route before so it will be PRs all round!Cool, I've negotiated with the boss and I'm now okay for this one
Looks quite tough.
As an aside, I notice the guy who has the Strava KOM for the segment averaged 10.25w/kg for an hour, which would make him a) superhuman and b) about 30kg in weight. Sounds legit!

I rode the first 17km, the flat bit again last night and it is strangely sapping. I think this is largely because there are no lumps to apply a bit more power/get out of the saddle to get over. I hope to be there tonight if i can get home in time.

My sense of direction has always been terrible... Sounds like it’s best if I let someone else take the lead and I’ll sit in behind and shout words of encouragement. Any volunteers?
Volcano climb will be 8 or 9 mins, so a little 'punch'. Only a few sections that are decent % gradients, even some flatish bits. Quite a lot at about 3% if memory serves me well. It's one I quite like as I can push on up

I speak from experience-no one let him sit on your wheel: anything could happen!

44m climbed in first 17km.
Fingers crossed - the more the merrier. If there's a few of us in the ride tonight we should be able to form a nice little drafting group until @berty bassett drops us all on the big climb!

I have fond memories of the Bkool days, when the little whippet was dropped before the hills and never to be seen again (hint hint
)Hmmm I tried very hard to do this last time we had a zwift race with a flat start leading to a scary hill - with very limited success! I never learn though so...I have fond memories of the Bkool days, when the little whippet was dropped before the hills and never to be seen again (hint hint

And all of a sudden bridgy and Tommy’s back wheel sound an inviting place to be ! Unless tommy resorts to chemical warfare and fires one across the bows - like when he parted bobs beard !!

To be fair it’s a long old stint by the looks of it. And I’m bloody knackered already so I won’t be making any grand declarations of intent for tonight! But it would be nice if we got a little group going. Time will tell...
