Another B cat Crit City. This time I lasted 8 laps, with either a slightly better race tactics or effort

Zwift reewarded me with this

300W might be possible for this oldie, with my rediscovered pedaling technique

290 Watts for 19.30 mins, next target 300W for 20 mins

Video to follow.

Good progress especially now when outdoor season is knocking at door, maybe in UK it's already started. Here in Finland need to wait.

180psi

I had tubular tyres capable of 200+psi

Or you might catch us in reverse?

Once you and Al got bumped up I regained my top score in C (not that these scores matter, but good baiting ammunition)

Al hasn't raced much I don't think since going to B, so still showing the heady heights of top C riding. I was about the same in C ... had a right kickin' since

Don't worry it won't last. I realised this week that competing in As rather than trying to get another gold in Cs is the most efficient way to increase your ZP ranking

Excellent. I know that feeling when you slip off the back of the pack . Been doing some short 6 minute sprint races (all Cats together) and sometimes managing to hold onto the fast group until the final sprint for the line at about 400m out.

It's a good all-out VO2max training session...

Nice one, Andy! Very much an upward trend for some time now, eh? House move clearly did wonders

I'll post tomorrow's job after I've had a stab at it😁

Outside rides tend to happen all year round in the UK. Ice and rain tend to stop me. Today was cool but sunny, just perfect for the first 100 miler of the year.

Yeah I haven't raced a B race at all since my rookie error of getting promoted which must be over a month ago. I'd guess if I raced now I'd be lucky to be putting out top quartile C numbers - that's how bad my fitness has slipped in the last month. On a more positive note I got a Strava KOM Today - the first in like 2 years and it was an uphill 40 second effort too 😀

Oh the bkool days - 400+w FTP for me - blasting my way up Alpe dHuez in the goats league 😀. I only did one or two Zwift races on the Bkool - it was embarrassing- riding off the front of the B group in a hare and hounds race 😂. I found the Bkool trainer did this weird thing in Zwift races of registering even higher than its usual overread power numbers. 💁‍♂️

Guys a little update regarding the Zwiftpower team ownership. I emailed zwift to ask who the original owner was. My intention was just to find out if we could have a little more control before people join really, not to make it more exclusive or anything like that. Anyways long story short… I didn’t ask them to but they’ve made me the zp page owner. And I guess Paul also emailed them asking a similar question, as they’ve made him an admin.

Obviously in reality I’m not the owner of anything here, we all are! But I think it’ll be useful having a little check in who joins, just on the off chance someone joins just to be a nuisance. Hope that doesn’t put anyones nose out of joint basically. I genuinely didn’t ask for it.

As I say Paul’s already an admin too. I’m thinking @steverob being a C team stalwart and also organising the zwift club should be an admin. And I guess other people too (?).

On a totally unrelated note, anyone know who this guy is?

Fwiw I think I can now write a little bio on the page. So maybe I should put a link up to this page, and we might get a few recruits to our own teams and cc league that way. Anyone see a problem with that?

I don't know but they seem to have raced 15 times in the last week?!

And 44 times in March

Makes sense to me
