apologies - I won't make the 11 ride.
I'm doing an early ride as I have the grandkids coming later
Thanks for the invite but I’m having connection issues so going to try my lap top tomorrow to make sure all good for Tuesday.
anybody had problems with dropping out since upgrading to iOS 14 on an I pad 3 times it’s dropped out after about an hour including last Tuesday , thought it might have been the steroz device but didn’t use it this morning to check and it still dropped out using Bluetooth.

Sorry robbo, not going to make it - enjoy your workout!
I'm going to try and make it, it's been a while...
Well that is a lonely Surrey Hills done and dusted. Ticked of 2 off the ZA workouts though to get 3 in total and unlock the nice blue cap! Did SS/Threshold blocks on the 5 climbs and then gentle spinning to recover on the downhills/flats.
That just leaves Pretzel, Mega Pretzel, Uber Pretzel and Four Horseman. Struggling to get much enthusiasm to finish those routes of to be honest! Pretzel wont be too bad I guess. Maybe attempt that for next Sunday's hills? Should be a little bit over 2 hours.
Could someone (@dangeourbrain?) Send me an invite for tomorrow morning. Its the weather for it! Ta
I should be there in the morning, bringing up the rear. Absolutely no need to wait for me if I can't keep up.
Cheers for coming out this morning folks
@slowpuncheur sorry just spotted that - if you're following me you should have had one - you may even have been on the ride this morning if I'm right about your zwift name!
Cheers for organising, I'd have never done that solo, I'd have got bored and climbed off lol
Hope it was a good one this morning guys...its a nice route.
@robbo1234biking you have exactly the same ones as me to do, like you they probably ain't gonna get done anytime soon, apart from the Pretzel which is definitely achievable.
I also have a couple of New York ones to do too if I can ever generate the passion....I really don't like new York and they all involve that glass hill...
I'm up for Pretzel next week.
Also jumping on the ZA group ride at 2pm if anyone is interested
Thanks all good ride out this morning found it tougher than it should have been, think I need a couple proper rest days. Which Pretzel next week were you thinking oopnorth?

This is the one forge. I can’t do next Sunday though (visiting the in-laws) so would have to be Saturday hills for me if anyone is free on Saturday instead.
I'm fine saturday Robbo.
@dangeourbrain. Didn't get on this morning. I'm P Tunstall on Zwift. If you can follow me, I'll do the same. I'm up for the Pretzel next week 🙂
What time works for people? 7.30, 8 or 8.30?
I will send out an invite.
Probably 8am for me...hard to do the ungodly hours on a weekend 😉
I have sent out an 8 am invite and invited people I can remember doing the weekend rides but I have so many stw people now after the race series I have prob missed someone off. So if you would like an invite let me know.
Late join should be available so you can join in later if you want as well!
Sorry, can't make this weeks Tues race.
Working evening shift 🙁
@robbo1234biking Cheers for the invite but I'm off to Dyfi bike park on Saturday. IRL riding on the big bike, weired I know but sometimes it needs doing.
Big thanks to Weeksy and Scaredy for pacing me on the crit city race.
Top team delivered me to a WIN!!!
Perfect pacing, just inside the cut off, Result.
Did I mention - WIN!!!
Nice Crust! Well done
I should have joined that crit just to try one out but ended up on the Academy group ride...which got very tasty!
Thanks for the route link, Saturday is fine with me as is 8am, will we be having a break in the middle or going for it non-stop? Hopefully I will get a bit more pacey and feel a bit fitter next week.
Bring a picnic Forge, we can stop on top of the radio tower 😉
I wasn’t planning on a stop. Should be enough time descending for a bit of a rest. I think the worse bit will be the flat middle section with the two short climbs!
Ok cool I shall plan accordingly, I’ll make sure I have a picnic for the top of the tower 😂😂
Who is bringing the pork pies?
Guessing DrP will bring the frozen sausages.
Deffo...
I'll keep them in a safe place till 'time...
Will stay as long as I can... daughter has ballet sat, but can't remember the time..

Now the racing is over I've set up a social ride for Tuesday evening to give Robbo a couple of weeks off. Fan flats for an hour, riding as a blob with sprints each lap.
I've invited all my STW flagged followers but if anyone else wants in then just shout up.
Good man, top job.
Just a reminder that some of us are doing the Watopia Pretzel badge tomorrow morning at 8am. Sunday hills is Saturday hills this week.
If anyone wants to join, let us know and we will get an invite out.
See you in the morning for some hills!
I'll be joining you on the line but other commitments mean I'm unlikely to finish the course, I'll take a view at about 30k or the bottom of the epic, which ever comes first, and might be rude and just put my head down and push on if I think I'll be done by a time likely to lead only a slightly annoyed Mrs brain, or I'll ditch at some point more conducive to a "happy" wife.
I'm similar...will be there, but gotta get my Bubba to ballet for 0945..so will have to depart at 0920..

Mrs Weeksy doesn't care 🙂 Especially in covid times as it's not like we're going out for lunch or anything.
However, the plan for tomorrow is some Ridgeway with my boy.

Woe betide me if I've not served fresh baked croissant and a cappuccino in bed at 9.47 precisely whilst I draw a bath and sprinkle with rose petals ready for her ladyship...
She'll know something is up at that point but it'll soften the response drawn by a large bike shaped hole in the bank account a bit.
So many Zwift threads! 🙂
Anyways - next week virtual commutes are planned for Mon, Tues and Wed next week at 6.45 am if anyone wants to join in?
Mon and Tues are bookmarked for workouts so elastic band will be on (a social workout if you like). Elastic band means you can do what workout you want within Zwift (or other software) and then the group stays together.
1hr on Monday, 45 mins on Tues and Wed.
Let me know if you want an invite. Cheers
I'm still in the office so can't come out to play that late sorry. I might sneak an early one in at some point but if I do it'll be 6am for 7 finish. (I quite fancy a morning muir and the mountain for some reason.)
what time would the tuesday commute be?
DrP
6.45am is the plan for all of them.
(I quite fancy a morning muir and the mountain for some reason.)
That was my early morning commute route back in the day before I hooked up with you lot, quite like that route but I used to avoid the radio tower...was too early for that pain!
Anyway at least you get to hit the epic KOM tomorrow Brian, it comes fairly early about 5km in and if you survive the wife you can also do the reverse! We are in complete local lockdown right now so I can definitely get away with 3 hours, there is nothing else to do!
I can’t get out over the weekend as the mrs is working both days so Zwifting tomorrow morning. is there anything planned?
forgive my ignorance if I’ve missed it in one of the several threads (how long before somebody infiltrates and roadie type abuse ensues).
If not I’ve earmarked either the herd race at 9am London Pretzel which apparently I’ve not done before. Or Kirchmair endurance ride also at 9 around Dust in the wind, again i haven’t ridden the course before, doesn’t say it’s a race but they all have a tendency to go that way.
As they are longer races I’ll probably stick with C for now don’t want to be too knackered for the day by chasing Bs for an hour and half.
As above Kirky, we are doing the Watopia Pretzel route at 8am tomorrow, 70km+.
Let us know if you want an invite
We are in complete local lockdown right now so I can definitely get away with 3 hours, there is nothing else to do!
Have you run out of DIY tasks now then?!
kirky - have sent you an invite for the morning.
Ha I wish...just deferring them! I've done so many but I'm sure something else will get done over the weekend.
