Yeah, I know – I haven’t done an ftp test for quite a while – just can’t bring myself to go through it! 95% of 20min was about 3.4 w/kg last time I did. Just now 3.2 might be about right. I think I’ll stick with cat c for now and see what ZP says after another couple of races.
If you just want the shortest route up the Alp then its Road to Sky.
Isn’t it just the Jungle and turn right manually?
Road to the Sky is the easiest. Starts at the Jungle pens and no manual turns required.
#Oblongbob it’s not enough to be on the high end of the category you need good 1 minute and 5 minute power and repeatability to get in and stay with the front group.
This might change soon with the new anti sandbag rules which will hopefully mean those at the top end of C rankings will be in B where they should be.

Inneos are doing some group rides before that event Rob linked to. I’ve entered the C one that starts just after 3pm.
The guest rider is being left as a surprise until you start.
Thanks for the invite for tomorrow Weeksy. I’ve declined though as the gardening is turning out to be a start one job find two more that need doing first type thing so couple of hours out of the middle of the day will be a non starter.
So not really related to our meet-ups but is anyone watching the Ineos lot race the Fire&Ice route some of us have done over the last few days? Should be pretty good, all the riders split into teams of 6 led by a GC rider.
I never thought I’d see the day when I sit to watch virtual bike racing but we are where we are!
Having to pull out of tomorrow’s ride, DIY list has ramped up after I was hammering and a great big lump of plaster fell off the wall. Turns out the whole wall is blown and I’m now having to hack it off, reboard and plaster.
Needs doing and I can’t justify a couple of hours out mid day for bike fun. I might try get an early one in if I get chance.
Have a good one and I’ll join next time.
@weeksy – anyway you can hand the ride leader role to someone else?
It does seem to be a burden that you organise the meet ups and have to ride everyone!
Think I found you. I have it to start at 11.15 as it won’t let me do 11. Let me know if you want an invite. I have invited 26 people on my followers list. Follow me if you want an invite. R1234BIKE [STW]
