Yes, you do get DQd if you go over cat limits in a single race. I.e. 95% of your max 20 min effort needs to be below 3.2 W/kg. You could use Zwift Activity Monitor Pro or something similar though

Oh, if that's the case I'd best stay out - I think I'd be around 3.6-3.7 for 20 minutes all-out at the moment, though it would obviously be less if I were sticking in a C peloton...

There is a bit of leeway - I’ve seen riders get away with 3.24 and their results still stood, although if that was enough to promote them to B, they obviously couldn’t race again in C.

Once you take into account the 95% calculation, I’d say you can get away with up to 3.4 for 20 minutes, maybe a touch more.

Dang it... Just missed the TT by about a minute and late join wasn't enabled. Possibly another reason why the Strava segment time would be a better idea?

Will probably set something up for tomorrow. Likely around 18:30. Shout if you want an invite.

Sorry Peter ' late join is automatically disabled if you opt to have results shown

Ouch. Went out a bit hard there. Disappointed but it's been a while since I've done a TT. They are as horrible as I remember

Can you add me please mate - I do love a TT.

What a difference 40 minutes can make mate

Some impressive looking times on the TT there

I went a bit deep too - enough to get an FTP increase anyway! But not enough to beat @berty bassett who's just on fire at the moment- well done mate

Err, bollocks! 😂

Berty did it on a Tron bike-I think?

I had you all worried for the first 20secs

Paced it reasonably well, legs felt quite heavy for the first half maybe two thirds of the event. Seeing my time expand over J.Offey did give me a lift to keep pushing

Talking of...

We've currently got nine people signed up to race for CCC, but knowing that quite a few of us can't make every race, if there are any other C riders on here interested in joining us (especially if you're normally a B but are making a gradual comeback to form), your presence would be very much welcome - just let me know and I'll PM you the details.

I don't mind being a emergency reserve . Bear in mind I've never raced but woundnt mind giving it a go ,Definitely bottom of Cat C
