Just did the first stage of TdZ - ooooof that was tough.

Went out hard and tried to hang on to a decent group - the front end split off at one point and disappeared - I was glad as I was doing around 300w to hang on which was unsustainable.

The remaining group were at a decent pace, and had @Girafitti in it! I managed to hang on until about 11km to go when I just blew up and limped to the end.

Good fun though!

That was brutal, held on too long in first group and died in second one. Blew up almost same time as you

I've had to pile Nutella onto the only substrate available - soda bread

I’ve done one setting off at 5am in January (-3 degrees, warm drinks in bottles froze pretty quickly…)

I rode an Audax starting at 7pm in December once, my feet were freezing within the first 10 kilometres. Christ it was a cold ❄ night, finished just before midnight in Central Bristol, luckily at a pub, so a double whiskey 🥃 was ordered to warm my frozen bones... 🤪

Stage 1 Long ZP has me at 01:14:18 but according to Zwift itself it was 01:13:22 288th out of 409 on ZP

Stayed with initial group for 19km then got spat out and drifted back a couple of groups and found a nice paced 5-person grupetto, which worked well for about 20 km. Then we got swallowed up by another group which I stayed with until the end. Hanging on the whole time though. Lots of fun, but knackering.

Having a go at Stage 2 later this morning.

We all know the motives ! - get you drunk so you fall asleep downstairs - exactly what my missus does - plus it’s the only time she turns the heating down to sub zero
