Yeh cheers all. Good effort from everyone.
Chris - there is a button the second in from the right above the push to talk button. If you click on that you should be able to choose the output.
Good effort everyone, I found that realy hard, every time I looked down I was > ftp and I did that a lot. Suprised that I didn't get an FTP boost tonight, but I suppose that we didn't have the silly start that always happens on Race night 🙂
Now not looking forward to Tuesday 🙁

Cheers Robbo 👍🏻
That looks a quick ride with some big numbers, looks like I’ll be hoping for the B team to come out to play next week.
Lordy lord the commute this morning was hard work. Think I might cry off the gym this evening!
Looking at Zwift Power and it's interesting how we all had similar W/kg.
R obbo STW STW 51:04+10:46 3.4w/kg 305w
Phil Alcock (STW) STW 51:04+10:46 3.4w/kg 285w
John B [STW] Team CLS 51:04+10:46 3.4w/kg 272w
Paul S (STW) STW 51:04+10:47 3.3w/kg 226w
Brian Dangeourbrain (STW) STW 51:13+10:55 3.2w/kg 281w

You're missing kirky, who I think averaged about 900W.
(And Chris, though I think his numbers were probably more sensible)
Sorry, just did a search for STW in the results.

No need to apologise - my effort looks much more respectable in the current [s] short [/s] curated line up.
Spreadsheet is reset for this week. 2 laps of Harrogate circuit reverse this week so a challenging course!

I’m not on the sheet and only a C rider but would love to join Thursday if space as loved last week.
I'm in again this week if you'll have me!
I’ve added you to the spreadsheet Chris. You will be ok there for ever more now!
2 laps is pretty brutal!
I'm in - if we make a full team plus (which looks plausible at this rate!) I might go ride it in the real world instead and compare my time!
If that's not incentive enough for folks to sign up I don't know what is.
🤣 thanks Robbo . See you Thursday, hopefully I can hang on !
I might go ride it in the real world instead and compare my time!
You have to do two laps as well!
Indeed. I'm really rather hoping we only get 8 of us
I’ve put my name down, but only if there will be a slower B Team. At the moment I’m at least 0.5 down on w/kg on some of you.
I don’t think it’s fair for you guys to have to take it easy to compensate for a slow rider, I know it would take the enjoyment out of it for me, if I was in your shoes/spud’s.
We are on 8 - any more takers?
giggsmaster you should join in anyway - its not compensating, it is a team effort plus as a hilly route your power to weight ratio is more suited to the course in any case.
We are on 8 – any more takers?
Oh dear. maybe I won't have to be trying to ride down parliament Street in traffic after all
8 riders, 8 places. We've never excluded anyone for that reason before @giggsmaster. No-one will come round and force you to ride. But no-one will encourage you to sit out like that either, it's just not how we work this. And it would be 5B, 3C if you rode. Up to you!
Confirmed: @paino, @phil56, @slowpuncheur, @robbo1234biking, @dangeourbrain, @sturdylad, @chrischarles

Start delay TBC (this evening / tomorrow morning).
^Wot they said. We ride as a team @Giggsmaster. It's not about a time or placings. You'll get more opportunities for a 'rest' in a team of 8.

Time delay is 2.5 minutes - so in the pen by 19:43 and off at 19:45:30
Oh good! A decent time delay for a change!
Oh good. Only 8 of us.
No real rides for me. Yay
I’m may have to cop out on this one, sorry guys and after all those nice comments as well 😁
I’ve been working evenings for the past week and half, so I’ve missed the last two Tuesday night races and last Thursday TTT. I was meant to be finished last night (Wednesday), but it has all gone a bit Pete Tong, so I’m expecting to finish the job off tonight (Thursday)! Just waiting to hear back from the customer in the morning and I’d think they would want me to complete. I’ll post when I hear anything.
Yep, confirmed they would like me to go back this evening!
I was looking forward to see how long I could hold onto the train before I was spat out the back.
Hopefully the warm welcome extends to next week😉
Well I don't know about the rest of you but my legs are not very excited about this evening!
Yesterday, I had my first day off biking or runnning this year. Could be good. Could be bad...
I warmed up for tonight by a lap around the black at Kirroughtree. Ruined now. This might be fun.
3rd race on the bounce... And this one is a bit more lumpy.
Will do what I can.
See you all in the pen soon
It's everything open up there after the recent storms paino?
Not really, technically the polite signs say there’s still a hazard so don’t go in. I sneaked in from the north side but had it on good authority that the forestry guys had done the clearing. Still 3 trees on the top blackcraigs side to detour around, but given the amount of chopping that’s been going on it must have been carnage last week. Apart from that it’s running really well. Nice calm day for a change. Bit different up here in Glasgow now…it’s wild out there!
Absolute b*stard!
Laptop crashed the same time as Phil's, got it restarted but Zwift wouldn't work, 2nd restart wasn't quick enough.
Really sorry guys
Crashed 3 more times after that....
Sorry about that folks. It's not done that in bloomin ages 🙁
Well done all. Good ride that. Enjoyed it.
It’s a tough course that one.
Thanks guys for a great ride and for helping me survive those climbs. Did someone say 20%🤪
Hope to see you all next week
Well tech issues aside I'm not sure I'd have done as good a job at holding on last night as Chris did anyhow.
I was way down on where I should have been in terms of average power last night by the time I finished but felt cream crackered and my legs are still rubbish this morning.
Its ok - 2 laps of Sand and Sequoias next week so nice and easy - just up the Titans Grove KOm twice!
On the plus side I (used to) rather like sand and sequoias.
What kind of numbers are you all putting out ? I'd be tempted to join; but I'm only just scraping the bottom of the 'C' so I fear I might hold you all up 😀 (I know you said it doesn't matter; but...)
Hi Steve - all are welcome!
Last night we were 3.1 to 3.4 w/kg averages across the team. Best thing is to give it a go - we will get you across the line! 🙂
Just ordered a usb c to HDMI adaptor to try and run Zwift off my tablet instead.
Will see how it goes over the weekend but if I'm still having issues I will bow out of the TTT as there is little point me taking a slot someone else can use if there's no guarantee I'll even make it to the start line.
I barely made it off the line last night, for the moment we're not over subscribed so I wouldn't worry and, if we're getting to bigger numbers again we have previously run two teams anyhow so in either case you'll not be blocking a spot
