Not at a moment. For now I'm watching track and field diamond league competition.

No actually, watching a classic
How the West was won
There's nothing like old westerns and John Wayne, sure I like Clint Eastwood spaghetti western's as well.

Was it like "watching" a Zwift Race on LIVE?
You'll have seen it went well until the final lap. It was a cracking 1 mile circuit in a country park around a lake. Marshals had their hands full keeping people with dogs etc off the track though.
I was quite (relatively) comfortable in the pack and chasing escapees down when needed. Nobody stayed away and people were dropped out the back.
I cocked up the final lap and found myself in a poor position as we hit the final few hundred yards. Finished 9th. 14 starters and 10 in the group which went to the line.
First time I've been in a race that got neutralised due to a swan walking her cygnets across the track!

Yeah it would probably have been more interesting if a breakaway had gotten away and their were chasers as the group stayed together so well with just a few people dropping off at the start then one guy towards the end. Would work well with a virtual map like zwiftpower live
Fraid not but just looking at the pics from the event. They are pretty good.

Trying to get to level 42 as quickly as possible (want that disc wheel). Reached 41 yesterday.
Climbing Trebiac fairly vigorously I just gained 1830xp in 29 minutes or 63.1 xp/min
Comparing that with 30kph flat riding (10xp/min) that's pretty efficient. Or put another way, that's like riding 91km
I'm still not quite sure what triggers the 250xp or if it's completely random. I didn't get a PR but I did seem to be more likely to get a 250 if my power through the banner was well above FTP. Might just be a complete red herring though. You'd like to think they'd want to encourage people to work hard though . Six is the most I've had and 2 the least, but only once. Usually get 3. (This is with both up and down, using the u-turn trick).
