Zwift meetups and social rides ?

tomlevell

I’ve dropped out from tonights as having ANT+ dropouts on the last 3 rides. Only ever had the briefest issues previously so want to see if they are now sorted or if I need to reinstall.

Weird – I’ve had no issues with Zwift dropouts (ANT+) until recently. Sometimes they are momentary – perhaps a second. Sometimes they can be up to 10 seconds, probably no more.

I have just ordered & had delivered a 2m USB extension. I am going to ‘hard wire’ it into my set-up so the ANT+ dongle sits right near the turbo trainer. See if that makes a difference.

The cable was only a few quid from Amazon.

I have to unplug the cable with the dongle on and unpair everything then try again.
The computer struggles in this process as well for some reason.
Hoping a switch off and on may have fixed it.

Not sure who you are Drew, but i’ve added 4 people with close enough names, so hopefully you’re one 🙂

If not, please shout.

Andrew Atkinson. Cheers Weeksy, I’m in.

weeksy can you add “S.weary Dave” and I’ll try and make it later

Not seeing you in my friends list mate, have you added me ?

Think so, Steve Weeks STW © ?

Got ya.

Are there any spare invites going? I’m Claire.

Aye, sure.

If there’s still a spot for this evening Weeksy and no one minds I’d be glad of the invite.

Not sure how well or long I’ll last mind as I’m officially quarantined as I’m full of deadly killer death virus of death cold and/or hay-fever so guess it will make or break me.

Aye, you’re in

Road bikes and bumblebee kit again??

DrP could ride an MTB.

i did that at the last one (with the retro bikes..though mine was a mtb in the garage, it was still the retro bike on screen!)

Can stick as a group for the start, no worries!

I’m in. Please don’t be offended if I’m not very chatty. My bluetooth keyboard isn’t working. I might also have to drop out towards the end to light the BBQ.

I’ll put the Discord server on at 6pm if people want to dabble with it before the ride.

Discord running.

Discord invite.

Had to do an early ride tonight so will miss this one. Have a good ride everyone.

@stumpy01 try turning the game resolution down, that cured my drop outs

eskay – it’s on min already! My laptop’s about 8 yes old…

Late notice but I’m gonna bail out. The weather is too mild and the sun is shining so gonna hit the road…in real life…

Ouch

Garg… This laptop is starting to get annoying…

Got dropped out of the game when was working nicely with a couple at the back then when I got it restarted it was too late to do anything…

It was a bit… pacey… for 175 on the first lap. It’s b loody upped my FTP too.

As always – cheers for organising Weeksy.

For the love of all that’s holy!! That was a tough 3rd lap you lunatics

Also bailed at last minute, Zwift race this morning then irl ride this afternoon followed by bbq and beer in the garden. Hope you all had a good ride.

Killed me off.

Although hanging onto the front group for 20mins drove the first nail in

Got dropped out of the game when was working nicely with a couple at the back then when I got it restarted it was too late to do anything…

I was on my phone as the laptop wouldn’t stand up, it was fine until the sprint on the second lap, going through the arch, an email from Vodafone pinged in, ironically to tell me how to improve my Internet connection, as a result everyone vanished then reappeared just far enough ahead to make me try and catch them. I never did.

Thanks for organising Weeksy. Oddly I found the central park route easier last week, and on the subject of routes, anyone done the Yorkshire one? Is it the elite TT route from the UCI this year? Looked very familiar for the 30 seconds I was there

I had no idea where I was in that at all?

Wish zwift gave better indicators. Didn’t know whether to chase or drop back.

Dave you were at the front, I tried to stay with you but just like real life….

You dropped me…

Aye, that was a bit frantic. I nearly managed to stay at the pointy end right until the finish but just didn’t quite have the legs. Great fun again though 🙂

Enjoyed that,not strong enough to stay with the group on last lap but managed to make it hurt plenty enough anyway

Great group ride tonight and enjoyed the tempo lap – thanks for organizing Steve.

There was 3 of us at front to start 3rd lap: Myself, Phil56 and somebody else I forgot ..

Phil56 and I put a little effort in to see who was what, and dropped the 3rd rider. From there Phil56 and I just kept tempo going with the occasional effort.

Dave you were at the front, I tried to stay with you but just like real life….

You dropped me…

There was another group in same tops as us that confused me. It happens easily when you’re an idiot.
