Heartbreaking! Only 23 years old. Far too young.

I did a BRVR session yesterday. The power readings from the Kickr (displayed in BRVR) and the Vectors (displayed on an edge device) were within 5 watts of ech other (165 ish watts on the session average). There is a marked difference in feel when riding a workout on bkool and riding a normal session, bkool or BRVR. I'll be doing a workout session, as well as a normal session, again tonight. I let you know my thoughts after I've done then.

A missing cobble stone doesn't constitute a pothole

Dont talk to me about knees, my left knee under the knee cap has began to ache whilst powering along


Have good holiday

You have my sympathy

Part names and numbers and a supplier would be useful @CXRAndy

That looks good, well adjustable too. Depening cyclist weight or how stiff you want it to be

You could test it at 6pm today?

I will be riding at 6 but not racing. I may not even finish it. I want to be able to have a proper crack at it tomorrow.

Just noticed that without moderation TdW results are even crazier. You don't have to ride actual stage 3 to accomplished that. Watopia flat will do that https://www.strava.com/activities/1498400796

I don't think the fact that's on Strava means it's registered as completing stage 3 on Zwift. That guy could have just started the stage and bailed out of doing the whole thing - Zwift would still give it that name. Or he could have just named a random ride as that for some reason?

Anyway that result was in zwifpower site in stage 3 results.

Ah OK - well he must have started the event but not completed it. I don't think it will count as it won't register on Zwift as him having completed the event. Zwiftpower have said they're not filtering out the results in any way so any rider who starts the even probably ends up on the results list whether they complete it or not
