Tonight's course is Beach Island Loop. There is one set of sprint points available for tonight (although you get two chances over the sprint). Its basically flat but there are a few small gradients that could catch you out if you aren't paying attention. Just two laps so the race will be fairly short. Good luck everyone!
Looking forward to it (in a pre-emptive leg burner sort of way). Thanks Robbo for sorting out all the handicaps once again and good luck everyone.
Hi Robbo
I can’t make tonight and will no doubt be lucky to catch more than 3 races. However could you send me the links.
Don’t worry about handicap or points I’ll just take part and see where I come on the road if that’s okay.
FTP is well down but don’t know where and weight is edging back up.
As well as @j-R I think @andeh is a good pick this evening as well.
Good luck all, nice to be be back racing together. And thanks @robbo1234biking for once again getting us to the start line.
Will see ya all there…. Legs and back remain cooked following the Brass Monkey race at the weekend, so hopefully there won’t be too many moments of pain!!!!
Apart from of course, the start, the sprints, the short climb to the Italian villas, and the tunnel sections….
DrP
With that weight of unwarranted expectations on my shoulders, I'll blow up on the first short climb.
Good luck everyone and thanks again to Robbo for the organisation.
PS Great to see @kirky72 is back.
That's a shame @andeh I thought you were riding this week, moving next, reappearing week 3. Hope the move goes well.
Following breaking my ribs on the eve of the last series I've now hurt the tendons in my bloody ankle and am under orders to rest it so will have to miss tonight's race 🙁
Good luck to everyone who's racing - it looks like a fast, fun course! Hopefully be back to make up numbers next week...
It's going to be proper interesting to see the breaks/splits. Even from a small play with Robbo/Nixie a few weeks back i know if they kick then i'm history..... however, there's always the power of the blob to consider, it's properly hard to escape a maruading blob if there's not a massive difference in pace.... so the A/Bs could end up wiping themselves out trying to split it....
Or they could end up killing off all the B/Cs by the same thing 😀
I know my tactics for the night.... i'll race this race as i do all mixed races, as hard as i can, right up until i cannot 🙂 I don't really do tactics other than that in races... hard and hard....
What are these "tactics" things you speak of? Small mints? 🙂
Yep, he's shaking his tactics at you.
The only tactic I tend to have is go hard from the start & try to hang with 'the group' as long as I can.
I then hope that splinter groups are forming & I can slot into one that I think I can hang with/harass.
The worst thing is being in no-mans land too far behind a group to catch, but too far in front of the next group down the road to bother slowing up for them.
That reminds me - still need to update my Zwift weight - don't forget to update it people - and charge my e-bike battery....
Zwift weight: Well reminded, do you need to do it anywhere else, thinking ZwiftPower etc?
P.
No ZP pulls the data from Zwift I believe so jut update in Zwift
Dont do a Dangeourbrain and pretend you weight the same as your wife for a Bologna TT!

I wouldn't mind but even at my actual weight that would have been a damn good run on that. Think I remember seeing the average power and being chuffed.
Then I saw it worked out at closing on 6w/kg average and realised something was up 🤣.

Well I guess that's stumpy out of the rest of the series(es) whilst he "sorts out" the base for a new patio.

Your safe from me. I'm going to be getting a proper kicking here (4 sprints then a KOM!); https://zwiftpower.com/events.php?zid=2566811
Minor panic just now with no event showing... But I'd not clicked Robbos links!
Reckon I've got a couple of nervous wees to go yet!
Hope you all have a good race.
I don’t seem to have a join event button my screen?
But on the companion app it’s says my event starts in 22 mins.
How do I join if I don’t have the button??
Same here
Same :-/ normally I can join 30 mins early I thought.
Give it the last 10 minutes.. think it's cos its NOT a meetup, but an event.
I've no join either...
Good luck @nixie in the big leagues....
DrP
any one else having trouble joining? on Zwift fine but the invite to join event had not come up and have tried logging in and out? normally comes up a good 20 mins before.
Sounds like a few of us are in the same boat?!
Nothing for me still either. Hopefully comes up soon!
Exited game, going back in
From reading chat, all events screwed
Tried leaving a couple of times, nothing happened
I'm down to go to event, but cannot see a join.....arrghhhh
fingers crossed itsorts itself out
P
Took longer than usual to log in at ~1830 for a casual ride while dinner cooked, guess all the league races are stressing the hamsters.
Tried all the normal, leave event, rejoin, reboot
No joy
People in general chat saying no join for zrl either…
It looked like there was a lot of people zwifting in the various world's, more than I've seen before
Still nothing....
DrP
Me too - getting a bit concerned.
Not looking good.
Yeah someone confirmed to me they can’t join ZRL event and someone else chipped in saying it appears to be an issue.
Looks like no race? Postpone and start next week?!
I’m sat in the event waiting for you all ! No I’m not, also borked.
