Today I won't be upping the pace myself, but anyone else is more than welcome to crack on in the last 15 for sure. My legs are fried so easy one here

I'm also taking it easy, tomorrow I'm doing the Alpe to finish the tour as I missed stage 3. So I need to keep something in my legs for that.

In the update they have lowered the level you need to be to ride some of the routes. It's to help "noobs" access more rides quicker.

Good stuff from Zwift.👍

^^Yeah, fixed my Core squeak/creak last night.

I know all the bits on it that make noises now. Have to grease/tighten a few bits every few months. Not a big deal though.Lol

So did the original meetup get deleted or have I pressed the wrong button?

Sorry if I’m repeating anything but this morning our club created a rubber banded meet-up, allowing people to ride socially or do intervals yet remain within a social group.  We used our own Zoom voice channel to chat through the ride and I have to say it was pretty awesome as an isolated club ride.  We even used Zoom to chat - after showers - over coffee as per a normal club ride!

They will be organising three regular weekly rides now, and there even talk of creating a bigger meet-up and inviting other London clubs.  Nice one Zwift!

There's several people on the London loop.
Dunno if they're doing the group ride but will they jump to Watopia or should they reload the game....?

Bloody enjoyed that.

Forgot how much I enjoy the bike (& Zwift)

So unfit now though but really tried to give my legs and lungs a workout! Nowhere near my old power but actually much better than expected 🙂

Pootled round with S Kelly, perhaps it was Sean? Can't seem to make my keyboard work when riding so limitted to thumbs up. We got caught in no mans land. Started steady with the group and let a few go. Then seemed to lose the group up the first climb and they never came back. Tried waiting etc but to no avail so just cracked on and cruised round after that. Caught another at the end.

Well that was more fun than riding inside on a static bike should be 😉 Made a change from doing workouts. Last 15 mins was a bit chewy.  Four of us, then 2, whoever j.kirk is, he kicked my butt up the hill to the Volcano. I did catch him with about 5 seconds to go, but I think he’d backed off my that time!

Did he say anything about making the calculation with a number of kilometres to go ? That's how you tell 😉

I think he did, probably how we caught the chap ahead on the line 🙂

Good ride. Here is a pic from halfway through. We all look the same. Any chance of getting a STW kit made up?

Thanks Lads that was a good hour, shame we split up but suspect there’s some flyers who just didn’t fancy pulling over and waiting for the back group to catch up.

Had a bit of duel with Alex and couple of others up the climb after the rickety bridge. Eventually making a group of 4. One of the lads insulted a roadie as we flew by their group. Ended in a scrap with myself and Alex, I was looking for some kind of finishing line as he finally blew by me.BTW after a ride for the last few days I was struggling and couldnt have kept that up, you would have definitely caught me before the 8nside of the volcano.

Try to catch a ride again. It’s not like I’ve much else to do at the mo (mustn’t let the Mrs see that or there will be a long list of Jobs formed in the blink of an eye).

Is there a way to have the 'right hand' nearby Zwifters panel just show who you are riding with? The screen capture above seemes to show the group. The problem I had was that for most of the hour I could not see where anybody else was.
