Well that was embarrassing, averaged 302W for 20 min FTP test then realised it takes 85% as the actual figure! So new FTP 286W and 80kg. Not sure if the test is based on previous FTP, but asking me to do 355W for 5 mins was wholly unachievable.
I think they take 95% of your 20 min best, NOT 85..
Ok..
@robbo1234biking
Pop my name down for this again... probably better to be in the list and NOT turn up (As ride IRL on tuesdays) rather than miss out.
I haven't done an FTP, so painfully I'll stick with my current (i.e OLD!) FTP..
FTP 301w
weight 71kg
These figures will come to bite me in the bum, eh!
DrP
I don't know how many events I'll be able to attend, next week's is a no-go for a start as we're away, but just in case...
Weight today: 84.4Kg
FTP based on an hour of feable power: 209W
FTP from 95% of 20mins: 259W
Great line up @Robbo1234biking
Big triathlon for me Sunday so I'll line up Monday and just try and make it round, buts it's flat so not my favourite anyway. Be good to get back to these to push hard again on the bike

You'll be a day early if you do that. The race is Tuesday 🙂
Brilliant work Robbo, looks like a great set of events. I will however be cursing you for the duration of that Bologna climb!!! 🙂
Race 3 – Double Header Event
I think I'm ill that week
I think I’m ill that week
I wouldn't worry the first race will only be 1 lap for you after which you will blow up!

Might just want a really good warm up!

1 lap!?!
What makes you think I've improved over summer?
a day early, i'd have a chance if i raced on monday, by myself!!!
Looks a great race line up with some real pain involved!!
Wish I could ride along guys but unfortunately not this series, hopefully I'm right for the next one! I'll be watching.
Ramp test success.
Andeh - 74kg - 266w
Cheers Robbo.
5 laps of London flat, you say....I'm feeling a bit peaky tbf 😬
I'm guessing it will become evident, but I'm keen to know.. how do we join the races? Do they appear on the events list on the app?
I’ll send over some links which you click through and it will take you to the events in the app.
Ramp test done. I know how to live on a Friday night!
258w and 81kg
🤘
Great courses and evil double header. hilly after a crit, thats going to be painful.
The links will open in the companion app if you have it on a phone. If not they will open on zwift.com on any PC. The events are not in the public event lists in app or zwift.com. They do appear on ZP but you cannot join that way.
I use the companion app so that should do it 🤛
Reactivated my Zwift account for the autumn series. Ramp test suffered.
Weight: 86kg
FTP: 283w
Last call for any weights and FTPs - those in yellow on the below havent given me weights and FTP. I need them by 6pm tonight so I can publish he handicaps.
Also Zwift still havent sent me the links so just hoping I get them in time to send out to everyone! Apologies for the delay.

I was just going to mention, i've not got it.... but then obviously you've not sent any yet 😀
Sorry Robbo, 69kg and not done a Zwift ride since the last race, intervals.icu currently putting FTP at 273 which seems about right
Hi Robbo - 93 kg and FTP 281 according to my Garmin - hope I can push that up a bit as the season continues!
@robbo1234biking sorry a bit late (as always) 'Ogg GG STW' 88kg ftp 250ish
@robbo1234biking Another one with excuses for being late, life a bit upside down as house move not going as I'd hoped. Will make as many as I can hopefully. Not had chance to do an updated test so I'll go with the FTP at the end of the last series/according to intervals (which I'll be nowhere near I'm sure).
Weight 67KG
FTP 273
For anyone not sure of their FTP who thinks it might have changed significantly since the last series, it might be worth dropping the FTP value stored in the Zwift profile settings by quite a bit before the race tomorrow (assuming the links arrive - eek!).
This won't affect anything during the race, but as the London Classique route is virtually flat you could treat it like a time trial & Zwift will (hopefully) give you an updated FTP at the end of it. It won't be perfect, but perhaps more representative than a 6 month old number?
I see tomorrow's race is now listed on ZP.
@stumpy01 do you mean dropping it low enough that you would definitely go over that figure for 20mins of the race and therefore zwift give out a new FTP figure as it had gone up from that? Didn't realise zwift did that if manually lowered
@karnali - yeah. Exactly that. Drop it to a value substantially lower than your FTP & it should give you a new FTP at the end of your ride. I assume it works in any kind of ride environment (free-ride, race, group ride, workout etc.)
I had a new FTP update at the end of the TTT last week (by a whole 2w 🙂 )

I believe they have set it to public, rather than private.......Robbo is trying to sort it, but we might end up racing with non-STW scallywags....

Are they the ones on pink bikes?

HA HA!
It took me several reads of this before I got it (I was sure there was a joke in there somewhere....)
Hi Robbo
Another disorganised person with a poor excuse for being late - erm, the dog ate my homework.
I'd like to apply for my usual position of fighting for lantern rouge as I need to get off my arse and put some effort in rather than cruise around on sub 1.something rides.
87 Kg - What!!!
213 FTP according to strava 🙁
Right hopefully everyone should have a PM with the links for the races. Race 3 and 3b are on the wrong date - zwift should correct them but the entry should still count and move with the event.
Handicaps are live on the above link.
See you on the start line tomorrow night - remember you need to choose the best bike for the course this time round!
And dont forget if you want to be included in KOM and Sprint points competitions you need to be registered on Zwift Power!
Joined every race, bring on the pain!
Am I the slowest rider then as I don't have a handicap?
I'm all signed up apart from week 3, late shift at work that week.

For this course yes but this may change depending on the nature of the course (and as I am sure you will improve). Get in a draft on back of a group though and you have a good chance of scoring some points.
That's the plan!
At least I'll have the ultimate excuse for finishing last.
I've signed up for all but don't think I'll make 1 or 2 unfortunately.
Signed up.
Last week at Whiteroom in the alps eating cake and drinking beer...should go well !
I can't make race one! Bit gutted but got an unexpected opportunity to see Kenton Cool who has just climbed Everest for the 15th time
Have fun!
Tonight's the night. I've been busted back to B, lets see how long that lasts!
I will be streaming;
