STW Zwift Autumn Race Series 1

Should have said 24 hours! Oops

DON’T PANIC!

(I panicked)

How long do we think this race will last? For a probably cat c ish. 1hr?

I’ve done two c cat races of about the same distance this week and they were both less than 45 mins

Thanks!

Yeh this is a fast course so would expect C’s to be between 35 and 40 mins

I’m really looking forward to it, although I did a hard (for me) ride around Ladybower on Sat and my legs are still really sore 😁

It’s gonna be interesting….

This week I have mostly been eating.

Poor timing for the start of the series to coincide with a fortnight off. I think it may result in utter failure to recoup any of my 7.5 mins handicap. On the plus side mind I’ve spent a week mostly eating and drinking.

Need to PM you my new weight robbo1234biking, only 2kg lighter but every little helps.Lol

Down from 102kg to 100kg, spot on.

Just checked out the route for RGV, flat, which is good for me, but I’m no sprinter.

Should be good, painful fun.😁

I’m preparing hard. Nice ‘easy’ sweet spot session up a virtual french mountain and a few beers.

Hold on, no prepping allowed!

Mandatory 12″ pizza every day and definitely no riding/prepping for you nixie.😆

I haven’t got an invitation to the meet-up. Am I just being daft?

^^ Hmm… Got my invite mate, might be worth PMing robbo?

@Oblongbob, what’s your Zwift name mate?

It’s Douglas Drysdale (I have no recollection whatsoever how my STW name arose!). I followed Robbo previously so hopefully he can add me.

Yeah, you’re not on the meet up list at the moment, I’m sure robbo will sort for you though.

You sent him your stats/ Zwift tag already made?

@oblongbob – apologies you should have your invite now!

@robbo1234biking – I’ve not got an invite either ‘Ogg GG STW’

Cheers! Think I might regret it

You should have one now!

brian…. tell me about it!

I’m so sluggish, having spent 10 days boozing and sitting!

Gutted, hope it heals quickly.

I won’t be ‘racing’ tonight. I’m going to make the most of the nice weather and go for a real outdoor ride with a few real people!
Can’t race next week either 🙁 as I’m in work.
Hopefully able to race week 3.

Sorry to hear that Weeksy…healing vibes!

well, my cast comes off this afternoon, so as long as it’s the left hand, and you don’t mind wearing the SMELLIEST THINGS KNOWN TO MAN on your arm, i’ll post it to you…

Already got one thanks mate… Fitted this morning.

Ungrateful….. 🙁

Sorry but you will all have to wait to witness just how bad jaminb is at zwift till next week – I have a serious case of saddle soreness after 4 days of WRT! Will I still be able to login and watch?

Will I still be able to login and watch?

Don’t see why not. Nothing forcing you to pedal :D.

Yeh if you join the meet-up but don’t pedal at the start you will just sit on the start line. You can then do fan view and follow different riders by either selecting them on the bar on the right or use the companion app. Or you can watch DrPs twitch stream!

Ah crap. I think I read you had hurt your wrist in an off but didn’t know anything was broken?

Heal fast matey!

Right, I’m going to line up my excuses for later, ok guys? I might not use them all but it’s possible depending on how bad my rubber band legs are.

Too much pizza/beer.
Dicky stomach.
Not been on bike/zwift for ages.
Bluetooth dropouts.

I might think of more during the 15 mile ride too.😁

Apologies if I’ve missed this…are there any bike restrictions, I.e. no TT bikes?

This is going to be funny tonight as most of us are going to go off far too fast to try and show we are capable and to keep up with the fast ones, then we will die a most horrible death before the end 🙂

Not a clue on that one, bike choice I mean.

Id probably be better off riding a tt bike as I doubt I’ll be able to hold onto any wheels for long. I’m going to try though.😃

Only 15 miles but it’s not going to be pleasant.lol

Riders’ choice, the more TT bikes the better I’d say.
