Presuming Club races won't appear on Zwiftpower like meetups don't? Does anyone know this is definitely the case?
Do a test, 1 lap volcano or something.

They don’t.

We run our Club TTs using the Club Functionality. It‘s good for sign up (looks like a standard Zwift event), you start from pens and you get finish times on the screen and in the app (you need to set that option) but nothing goes to Zwiftpower. We just transcribe the results to a spreadsheet.
 
Proposed stages of Tour De Splitters #2.

Tried to get a mix of terrains to suit everyone. Last time, finishing on an ITT worked well as various people had small time gaps to try and make up on others, and it's the "race of truth"! Also, being on TT bikes, people can do it alone if they can't make the final stage for some reason.

As mentioned above, any complaints will be dealt with by my "enforcer" @<Tommy> who's prepared to be slightly less diplomatic than me when the cat-herding becomes difficult!

19:45 on Tuesday nights, starting the week after the last stage of ZRL?

Day 1 ride in Tenerife done ... bloody hell I'm shattered. Nearly fell off bike when got to Villafor .. one of the guys took bike off me and I had to sit down for 5 mins. Never done a real climb before, only virtual stuff ...... didn't feel any harder on the legs (yes, they were equally shot), but the air, bike position, vibrations, concentration, all made it much more challenging.

Tomorrow is a long 70km day, and Tuesday is the big one up Teide. To be honest, at the moment, I'd be surprised if I can make the whole climb. Including descent it will be 7+ hours in the saddle which is longer than I've ever ridden. But, I'll give it a good go and enjoy as far as I can make it before I blow up!

Sounds great, Carl.

Good luck with the rest of the week. Perhaps this is a silly question, but do you have anything other than riding planned? And what's the atmosphere in the group like? I assume you're in a shared lodge type accommodation. Are they cycling monks all stretching and getting early nights each evening or is there some socialising and boozing going on?

Sounds like a good day👍

Didn't the new categorisation enforcement small print say something along the lines of "Zwift will not see your club results"?

I'll see if I can find it. If Zwift doesn't see them, it's hard to see how ZP would. I'll dig a little deeper and see. (I see it's been answered, so I'll stop there ^_^ - also just realised I rode a club event this morning and it's not on ZP :laugh:)

In an all inclusive hotel. But as cycling every day there won't be any partying. I'll be in bed early to recover.

Rest of group are nice lads. Mixed abilities, but I'm at the lower end for sure (the skinny whippets fly up the hills!)
