Might keep a sick bucket next to the bike!
There's no point in mid ride weight loss on a pancake flat course
@weeksy
just realised I don't have an invite for todays meet up - is there time to send me one?
done.
but im wondering if its all gone wrong
I seem to be all alone. Maybe as i moved worlds with an hour or so to go as Richmond was busy
Yeah Richmond was heaving.
There's a few of us in London
I'm on my lonesome in Richmond?
i'm alone in i think London
With the group in London now
Hmmm
I've binned and done a new one sorry

Cheers for the invite Weeksy but wife doing yoga so can't make it. Going to clean zwift bike instead, feels like it needs done.

Got no new invite...

Why am I so far away from you all!
DrP
add me again stumpy
No invite as yet
Think I just added you again. Might be too late...
Blimey. Should have just gone for a ride in the sun, I think...
Couldn't get an invite sorted. Came out of Zwift and back into Watopia, no signal from anything - trainer, HR monitor....all dead. Restart Zwift again.....seems to be ok now.
Hope you had a good ride?
Cheers for the ride chaps. I made 1013w ok the second sprint but then this happened...
Stripped the end of the thread on the bottom two bolts!

Holy Crap! At least it happened on the trainer!
Just done a tough 45mins on Sand & Sequoias....I treated the undulating bit in the trees like a stand-up sit-down spin class....
How was the group ride?
was like herding sheep 🙂
🤣
Cheers for organising Steve, enjoyed that.
Was bloody hard! I picked the wrong group!
was like herding sheep 🙂
Were you a grumpy shepherd or an excitable collie though?
Thanks for the tow back Weeksy, did myself in the sprint and was pushing well above my grade to get back. Managed to finish in the group (if you could call it that) so pleased with that.
I enjoy them plenty. It's no all about going full chat every ride, it was great trying to keep the group together
Got dropped on hill and then ended up between the two groups. There was some hard chasing at the end!
Thanks as always weeksy and everyone else
Thanks @weeksy - really appreciate the effort you make to herd us sheep!
Cheers!
Solid group good that good work all, and thanks again Steve these rides have really helped get my mojo back I really appreciate you organising..and shepherding.
I chose to do the FTP test (short one) instead of the 2nd race. 183 score which by my calcs gives is 2.1w/kg - how does that compare with you guys? I guess losing the weight is relatively easier than increasing power?
Only been doing Zwift a month and up to 207 from 177. This give me about 2.5-2.6. You get a good tow from the group though, the first 30 mins is not too bad unless you do too much going with a fast group or in a sprint. Im gasping at the end though.
I’m going to add my thanks again.
Steve it is very much appreciated
Without these rides I simply wouldn’t do it. They’ve been instrumental in getting me back on a bike after nearly 2 years.
I can feel a bit of long lost fitness slowly returning also.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lol stop it.
I do it all for me not you.
Stfu you lot

You could probably get that number up just by doing a few more, there is a definite knack to them.
They are grim though! Alternatively try a race that will last around 30 mins.
Edit: my FTP is 276 and I weigh 76 kg
Yeah, weeksy....organising these is much appreciated, even when it goes a bit wrong 🙂
It's definitely forcing me to try a bit harder on all Zwift rides!
Calibrated the trainer after today's session and it was a bit loose. Not sure if that makes the trainer over or under estimate.
