@tpbiker - weren't you concerned in the Covid thread that a close contact had come down with it? (I might be wrong I only skim those threads as the arguments get a bit much for me! I come here to escape the news lol.
Anyway - could be a sign that you are coming down with something> Not necessarily Covid but just a general infection or virus etc.
weren’t you concerned in the Covid thread that a close contact had come down with it?
Yeah, I did wonder that. But he says he only coughs outside, so going on that evidence he's got asthma, not covid!
Probably didn't help I did 24 miles in the morning on back of Tuesday's efforts.
plus the hill isn’t actually THAT big
I actually usually find I get a rest on the hills, relative to the flat, as my weight means I can actually ease up on the power to go same pace as everyone else due to my w/kg coming into play. Wasn't the case on Thursday however.
Says way too much about my search history but this popped up in my Google suggestions this evening.
Might be worth keeping an eye on week on week.

You can register for the TTT on Thursday now but I don’t know where @savoyad copies the link from. I use the app to sign up and can’t see a link from there.
I assume we are signing up to A again.

Android? Yeah there's no share functionality. The world's most popular mobile OS and zwift doesn't work properly on it. Seems strangely appropriate.
FTFY 100% understandable stance tbh 😂The world’s most popular mobile OS for people who don’t like spending money
Everyone enter category A here: https://zwift.com/events/view/1123143
We'll do tags etc nearer the time.
I usually get the link from the wtrl site (it provides peace of mind by putting it next to the team entry) but that's not working yet. I think this one is right though!
In. Happy to stick with Bumble-A. Cannot possibly be any worse than last week right 🤔😂
I've entered
Cannot possibly be any worse than last week right
Is that a request?!!!

It's nothing to do with not spending money, it's that whole ethos thing.
You've got the apple approach and it's antithetical opposite [s] android [/s] bauhaus.
Zwift definitely fits the first one. It does a wonderful job of looking like it should work well - what's the odds their new series with wtrl still has the "stop pedaling"?
Any who. I'm signed up. See you all Thursday
Only 6 signed up so far.

Thursday, 7.40pm, 3 laps of Watopia Flat.
Last week was a real success. Can we get two full teams out again?
I'll play this week as there's no Tues race now. I don't mind 1 evening a week.
Really enjoyed last week but unfortunately have managed to sustain an ankle avulsion fracture (not as serious as it sounds) at the weekend so won’t be signing up for at least a few weeks.
I’m in, would prefer to be in the other team, struggled badly last Thursday, possible over doing things with 3 or 4 hard sessions a week.
I'm in...now converted to Thursdays with Robbo's race series ended. Hopefully I'll make the end this week 🙂
Entered.
Hopefully I'll be back next week.
I'm In, will change tag later - am ZRL'ing tonight.
The data mangling involved in ZRL is mind blowing, and I'm almost a data scientist.
The wrangling of riders into one coral would put an australian cattle dog through its paces, add a few time zones into the mix and it's got all the hall marks of failure to launch, my team captain is GMT-4.
Yeah I'll give it a go. Need motivation to put in an effort nowadays
Can I reserve one space in whatever team I end up in ?
I've bullied a friend (Martin) into it, he just needs to get his category back (he's a C) as he hasn't raced since July, so he's going to do a few short races to see if it comes back on ZP.

so he’s going to do a few short races to see if it comes back on ZP.
I think so long as he has a ZP profile it's all good.
@savoyad ... tempted to join in this week?
I'm always tempted. Can't make it work at the moment though.
I think so long as he has a ZP profile it’s all good.
Yep. You don't need a category to start - if you do have one, it is used when the results system determines the team category but if you don't it just uses your ride that day to assign you a notional category. We've figured this out through experimentation..
So, from that perspective, Martin can ride without re-establishing his zwiftpower category. Obviously, he might prefer to "see if it comes back" in another sense rather than doing the TTT as his first zwift ride in months though! Either way, he's welcome and if he's there on the list of course can ride in the same blob.
12 signed up now, 13 with Martin, which is ample to secure two teams but also leaves space for anyone else who'd like to join in. Sign up to category A here: https://zwift.com/events/view/1123143
Ok great, thanks.
He is doing a couple of races anyway, he does a lot of zwift FTP training, rather than races, so should be pretty fit.
Looking at his stats he is basically the same as me as far as I can see.
I have entered
I got to bail fellas. Mrs Weeksy needs ferrying about on Thurs
I’ll put my name down guys, you might have to talk me through how it all works though.
I’m high end Cat C or very low end Cat B if that helps.
Martin has regained his category designation, so all good there now anyway.
Whats the team setup / tags, ta.
@giggsmaster - high C/low B helps a lot tvm. You are on point.
An adult will be along soon with detailed information, and explain it more clearly, for the moment you need to have a discord account, have joined the event, and changed your ZP tag to match your allocated team (to be announced). Once you are in the start pen, and the race is about to start, do NOT pedal until our start time (otherwise you will roll through the start line before the allocated time).

Over exuberant video :
So what are the teams for tonight then?
I have 13 on the app including me and I think there is halorics mate and giggsmaster who I cant see as signing up?
Any places left, normally ride for a team at 6:15 but cannot make it that early tongiht?
> I have 13 on the app including me and I think there is halorics mate and giggsmaster who I cant see as signing up?
Martin is signed up, currently has the tag (Revolvers), just waiting for the team name, assuming MoreSTW, and tried to get his Discord working last night, should be ok by start time.
@mossimus yes there is one space left. Not sure what the team name is yet but sign up on the link above to reserve your place
Yes, I make it that @giggsmaster and @mossimus will make 16 (13 on the app + Martin who I can see on WTRL + those 2).
Use @haloric's link to sign up.
I'll suggest two teams, with tags and start times shortly.
Something I discovered this week:
If you go an event in ZP - say this evenings venture:
https://zwiftpower.com/events.php?zid=1123143
In the top right menu bar is 'Settings'. This will allow you to change your team designator and your name and tag for *that event only*, so you don't have to change back for another event (say ZRL..).
OK, here we go...
TEAM ONE, STW, is @tpbiker, @dangeourbrain, @phil56, @mossimus, @paino, @yanboss, @zilog6128, @robbo1234biking
Start delay is 3 minutes. So in the start pen by 19:40, GO GO GO at 19:43:00
Rider name tag is (STW). @dangeourbrain and @robbo1234biking you need to update your tags.
Use Discord voice channel TTT (STW) on the STW server.
TEAM TWO, MoreSTW, is @w00dster, @scaredypants, Martin, @haloric, @oopnorth, @ljarch, @ivandobski, @giggsmaster
Start delay is 5 minutes. So in the start pen by 19:40 and GO GO Go at
19:45:00
Rider name tag is (MoreSTW). @w00dster, @scaredypants, Martin, @haloric, @giggsmaster you need to update your tags.
Use discord channel TTT (MoreSTW) on the STW server.
Discord invite if necessary https://discord.gg/mJBVYW
@giggsmaster - do you have a zwiftpower profile? The rider name tag needs to be done there, not on zwift itself. If that's new to you, say so and instructions will appear here...
Sorry Savoyad, everyone
I think I'm likely to bail, either totally or during the ride. Have ducked my back carrying stuff yesterday and not sure I can ride.
I will change my tag and hope to start but please DO NOT wait for me if I fall back
☹️
Hopefully I don't have connection issues this week, also Discord was really playing up for me, so if it goes down again I will have to revert to old school messaging.
Who is doing shouting "GO GO GO" for the MoreSTW team this week? I'll not volunteer due to the issues above.
Yep, got ZP profile, just changed name tag.
Do we have a certain racing top to wear or does one get automatically allocated?

Fabulous tip, thanks.

Done
Mine is sorted as well now. Thanks for organising @savoyad
Looking forward to it (it some weird kind of way!)
