My dad once told me that he asked his grandpa how he survived the war. The answer was: 'Never be the first. Never be the last. Never volunteer for anything'. Clearly, I forgot about the third rule today

It's normally poor @bridgy lumbered with organising the meet up races ...

What will need to happen is before you can invite people, they have to follow you on Zwift - it's a quirk of the platform that you can only invite people to a meetup if they follow you.
Another quirk is when you pick a route, you may have to add an extra km on the distance as it the finish banner doesn't always allow for the lead in. But that's a bit hit and miss to be fair and not that important as we often just pick the winner as first over the line, and if it's a sprint finish and close we all claim to have won (another quirk of Zwift that what you see on your screen may not be what others see
)And in a race, be prepared for a bit of friendly banter (I think the ausie's call it sledging) from @BurningLegs and @mjd1988 .... I wouldn't do it personally, but they are bad boys

I don't mind setting up the meetup if it's easier having done it before- I also have no problem with anyone else doing thoughIt's normally poor @bridgy lumbered with organising the meet up races ... I recon he owes you a beer or 2 if you take over that task

A flat course .. yes?I don't mind setting up the meetup if it's easier having done it before- I also have no problem with anyone else doing though
Yeah flat maybe isn't the best idea as I don't want you guys to catch a cold because of me flying by.
Michael didn’t you hear the pleading from team ccc for a flat course? 🙄

Sorted
The B lads are already getting worried that the fat lads will beat them if a flatty is selected...
Interesting until the leg snapper
then PAIN I'll race on whatever course, just happy to get the races back up and running - it's a good laugh. It's a shame you can't do meet ups on Crit City, that might be interesting too.
I suppose we have 4 weeks before the week that Christmas lands on so we could have 3 races. A pan flat, a rolling course and then a mountain stage.
Points for each finishing position and tot them up at the end of the mini-series for the overall victor!
If 10 ride then you could do 10 points for the win and 1 point for last and just change this for riders entered - 12 entered, 12 for the win etc?
I don't mind doing the spreadsheet unless we have an expert on here who has done it previously...
Just an idea but maybe a way to please everyone and make it interesting. The winner receives my used mankini and has to post a photo of them modelling it with a Santa hat on
Week 1 - Yorkshire UCI Course (2 laps) - a
Week 2 - Tempus Fugit (2 Laps) - out and back so if riders are dropped you can wave as you pass them the other way lol
Week 3 - Muir and the Mountain - brutal final course for the climbers
I like to call it "Le Tour de Splitters"
7:45pm - Tuesday nights. There all sorted. @bridgy send out the invites
