ZsunR have a 2.2-2.4 Ventop ride at 19-10 tonight. The fliers will race it if anyone fancies a go...

Tour of watopia is starting on the 10th of January (I think). We could run it as a league if anyone’s up for it?

ZRL starts the next day as well doesn't it?

I’m planning to do the ToW and not ZRL this season. Up for running as a league but would be good to allow people to enter any of the scheduled events rather than the same one if poss??

Shame you’re not in ZRL bud. Hopefully next time.

Yeah it’s nice you can enter an event at a time that suits you. Obviously the times might get slightly skewed depending how big and fast the field is in your choice of race. But all part of the fun really!

Ah cool I was just wondering that as I posted. Hopefully we can find a way of managing them both.

Well done Andy, you’ve made it to the summit at last 😄

Hey. I've got up the real one- twice just not on the same day

I didn't need to be pulled by a whippet

Try ventoux 3 times in a day and then you will know that no one can pull you up apart from yourself! But I think you know that 😄

And Andy, that wasn’t the summit I was referring to

Bloomin ‘eck, surely if I’d just ridden up Ventoux three times the missus wouldn’t tell me SHE was tired?

On second thoughts…

I have a feeling your missus has got about as much interest in cycling as mine does…

set my stuff up outside today as its mild and within 20 mins it started to drizzle, managed to do half an hour before i bottled and its good job i did cus it started hammering it down just after i got the stuff in and my laptop might not have liked it

Same here, got out in nice weather to buy some essentials and half an hour later it was pouring down. Luckily, was able to get everything:

I hope you’re taking note of this @Peter Salt. For you can only become a true cc excuse Jedi, when you have a reason why every single type of terrain is to everyone else’s advantage other than yours. Well done Andy, you’ve made it to the summit at last 😄

Whilst Andy's excuse is that he's too heavy, mine is that I'm too light and don't have the sheer watts. There must be a state somewhere in between where one is 'just right'

just weighed myself , a good 8llbs weight gain since the accident

I was being chased down over the 2nd half of the climb. With around 5 miles to go, the rider behind was riding around 3.2 W/kg. I had a 1.7 mile lead on him. He gobbled up all the gap apart from 0.3 of a mile at the summit.

Once your knee has gotten better have a go.


You might need to use the Zwift route hack (PC only) to access France routes. They don't get selected as often

I've set an unrealistic task of cycling every day this year, no minimum distance. Aim for the stars I guess?

In other news my wife's just spent a load of money on diffusers for the house, don't have the heart to tell her it smells like cat piss in here now.
