Ditto. Over indulgence, family problems have not helped the comfort grazing.

Reset on the 1st of Jan bud. I know people say it’s just another day, meaningless, if you want to make change you can change any time etc etc. But I do think it helps having a day from which you can say ‘start as you mean to go on’ from here.

Sorry to hear about the family probs, I left mine at the MILs

I've thrown 4 bottles of whisky in the recycling in the last month

@Whorty video of that race you did in B - looking at it back we did better in the sprint than we gave credit for, that was a big pack - you can see me go miles too early after Rick goes for a long one and then get reeled in.

@cyberknight Hello! My drunken 10 pence worth...

When riding with power outside you freewheel so average ride powers are lower. Then you do Zwift and it seems a load harder as you are always peddling, especially if you are on a dumb trainer (the most horrible beasts on Zwift).

Using a dumb trainer with power isn't nice, there is no let up. I think the only way to make sure that your numbers are right is to test on the road and the trainer and recalibrate each time.

BUT my advice would be to a) forget the power and just set it at a level you are happy and are sweating and your HR is getting a work out OR b) change your life and get a smart trainer. I went (b) and never looked back and now went one step further and have a Wattbike.

Don't worry about numbers, just make sure you are working hard but most importantly, enjoying it.

You’ll fit right in here

Where is that taken?

about 70 miles into a club century peaks ride near Dovedale , guy taking it likes to do moving piccies with his phone, not something i would do
To be fair its a good piccie i cropped down to remove other riders

And after squeezing all that wee out too

It was a really good Christmas, right?! My sister-in-law is a chef and I’d quite happily have eaten all the potatoes in the world the way that she’d roasted them. Anyway, back to the Zwift grindstone…

I’d heard it can make you go blind, maybe a sore wrist, but never any worse than that! Be careful, guys

Hope the meeting/reconciliation goes well, @CXRAndy
