..but having never done any bike packing before it felt like a bit to much to organise in a week!
You wouldn't need sleeping kit @Phil56. You'd be home and hosed by teatime!;)
I'm going to start training for road again so could be interested in some Thursday TT action. I'll try and stay on top of this thread.
OK, it hasn't worked out this week. We'll try again next week though. I'll enter the team and post later in here for riders.
Apologies if it's bad form to borrow riders, but if any of those who had been keen on a ride tonight still fancy a spin, we have space for B cat riders and perhaps 1 A cat in our Platinum League Frappe team. Any questions let me know here or just join up straight up on the Team Electric Spirit Discord.
Thanks for stepping in Phil! Still a couple of spare spaces if anyone is interested.
@tenacious_doug Shame you can't use some of your A+ riders. They were damn impressive in the ZRL league I was in.
It's not bad form at all to borrow riders @tenacious_doug.
In fact, if @phil56 gets a PL ride and you get a fuller roster, everyone's happy.
I'm gutted that all these months on since stw regularly took part in the weekly TTT events, I've felt unable to put my name up for consideration, given I much prefer Zwift TT events over races. Since the winter race series organised by robbo ended in Feb(?), my form has been all over the shop, with a cold and both Covid jabs plus a knee injury hampering my training for weeks at a time since. Sadly that's resulted in ~5Kg weight gain, inconsistent 20min efforts close to what I could manage beforehand and I'm not sure I've tried to do a sustained 40min+ effort since that winter series.
I was feeling a bit more positive after an unexpected TT effort last Saturday morning, but since Monday I've felt fatigued again after last Tuesday's second jab.

Thanks! Don't fancy our frappe team trying to keep up with any of them!!
Entry is in for this week. Thursday, 7.40pm, 2x Beach Island Loop, first time this course has featured.

All welcome, including newcomers! I'll post lineup, racepass etc Weds or Thurs if we get enough interest to field a team...
I don't want to steal people but I have spaces for B/C riders this week in my team at 6:20pm if anyone is interested but struggling with the 7:40 STW team. Bung me a PM if you want a ride.
Sorry, had nursery-induced lurgy so tentatively getting back on the bike. Might be able and keen next week.
Any interest this week? 2 laps of Tempus Fugit, so 37 flat km. Thursday 7.40pm.
I suspect it's fading out for summer. Prove me wrong here:

All welcome.
Shall we have a break for the summer? We've gone past my secret threshold for not enough interest now!
If anyone feels the urge, just resurrect the thread or start a new one. Tag me and I'll be happy to do the entries if you want. But don't feel obliged to come via me.
Otherwise, I'll come back - maybe in September - and see if there's enough interest to get something regular going again.
@savoyad sounds like a good idea - and thanks for all your efforts in organising us all year, really appreciated.
Thanks savoyad! After the school holidays sounds like a good plan. The evenings have been too nice for indoor rides (although this week my wife is working every evening so I will be forced back inside!)
If anyone does feel like an occasional TTT in the mean time give me a shout as there is usually space in my team at the moment.
Hopefully I'll be back in September.
By early September, I'll be feeling the need for the TTT again. Until then, I will be enjoying the long evenings and dusty trails.
September sounds good. Cheers @savoyad for organising…takes the stress out of it all. With the kids at home I rarely have the energy to cycle in the evenings over summer.
Is the STW team time trial not a thing this year...? Used to enjoy a bit of this
I think zwift took a fair bit of a knock back end of last year, folks are slowly returning though so potentially we'll have enough to put a team together in the not so distant future but that being said I've no idea what the admin burden is.
Flagging an interest here if it gets resurrected.
I am still interested, although have got thursday bookings for the next two weeks, free after that.
It's like getting the band back together... Anyone seen Phil?
Anyone seen Phil?
Not in person but he popped up on the zwift club page yesterday (it might have been Tuesday) and it's still about and keeping a watchful eye on us all!
I’d be interested too, but not in a position where I can put in any efforts! Covid double whammy over Christmas has really affected me, both in weight & power loss. Z2 only at the minute to try and relocate one of my lungs!
Would also be interested. Been missing Robos race series and the time trial this winter
Does that mean we have enough for a team for this Thurs? Anyone know how to set it up?

@slowpuncheur
paging @savoyad ....
Ooh. I'm happy to put an entry in if we have enough riders.
(I still can't ride evenings though. in fact, I've barely ridden at all for a while and just getting back into it...)
I’m in, I’m sure @robbo1234biking would be up for it too? Can’t promise any big efforts, in fact, can’t promise much of an effort at all!
Can’t promise any big efforts, in fact, can’t promise much of an effort at all!
Ha, I can certainly promise not much of an effort at all! That seems to be the theme though so I'll be in good company 🙂
I cant do this week but next week may be an option for me
I'm in, my training of late has been long endurance rides so I won't be setting the world alight with my power figures either.
Actually - what's the course this week...
Richmond Worlds course x 2 laps 🙂
Richmond Worlds course x 2 laps 🙂
I'm ooot 😂
I'd be interested in having another go...
That's a fairly tough course, especially for bigger riders... Could be tough keeping groups together !
That’s a fairly tough course
IMHO two laps is too long for a TT on that course. It's a bloody horrible course. Twice.
The cobbles are inexplicably hard work and then the final "I always forget this bit" climb to the line that takes me by surprise.
Every. Single. Lap.
I think I'm going to struggle this week now due to work commitments and family stuff. Next week is Watopia Figure 8 Reverse (one lap). Similar elevation but a more rolling course that will be easier to stick together on I think.
