Zwift meetups and social rides ?

@weeksy. Can you add my mate to the invite list please. He is following you on Zwift. T Rolo [STW]. Cheers mate

Sure

Was hoping to get on this later but legs are feeling a bit twingey – going to rest up. Have a good one.

I’m going to bail on tonight 🙁

Working…

I’m going to come along this evening but it might be short lived. I went [whisper] outside [/whisper] for a ride this morning and or seems someone snuck in overnight and stole my legs 🙁

They might be back by this evening but it might be a bit of an ask of them.

I did 30km earlier you bunch of pansies. It’s pancake flat this course, you’ll be fine

Be aware it’s a bit on the wobbly side tonight, took me two goes to sign in and then couldn’t save. Shows ride on zwift app but says can’t get ride details and hasn’t gone over to strava.

Thanks for the group ride invites Weeksy, was hoping to actually do one this week, but i’m still struck down with last weeks food poisoning. I will get there one day!

I did 30km earlier you bunch of pansies.

It’s not this morning’s 30miler that’s the problem. It’s just that it showed me yesterday’s handballing 8 ton of gravel plus a long walk might have been.

No changes to the plan for this evening?
I got on a bit early as my Wife and daughter have gone for a walk…

Calibrated the trainer after last ride….it was a bit loose apparently.

No idea what affect that will have had…

Warming up with some RATM – Renegades album.

That was a blast!!!

Super fun again… I’m naff at the explosive sprints I’ve decided!

Thanks again for sorting that… but, not uploaded to strava..hmm…drP

Uploaded to Garmin okay but not Strava.

Yeah that was good. Those sprints were brutal. Good little battle at the end with a few. I believe DrP and a few others were about 2km ahead by that time 😉 Really enjoyed that last 30 second sprint at 59min30seconds.

I’m off for a lie down and a pint of Creme de Menthe 🙂

I’ll deffo run that course and plan again though. Assuming you fellas enjoyed it.

Cheers for organising Weeksy.

Tomorrow is definitely a rest day

My earlier ride took 30 mins to upload to Strava so I wouldn’t worry.

Tomorrow is definitely a rest day

Rest days? That’s a concept.

I did 30km outside today, 20km warm up, then the ride.

Still trying to get into the high 13st.

yeah i enjoyed that, peesbee is the man to beat in the sprints it seems!

My warm up ride has uploaded but took a while. Hopefully servers are just slow. If not you can extract it from Zwift and upload manually. I hope it isn’t lost as I got a new 1 min power best!

Cracking ride chaps. Shame you can’t choose crit City for a group ride

Mine uploaded now

I’m saving this image in case I need to see a heart specialist 🙂 Damn those sprints are just short enough that you can wring yourself out but just a bit longer than you wished they were 🙂

Rest days? That’s a concept.

Maybe I should explain.

A rest day means a day of manual labour under the direction and close supervision of SWMBO. Maybe after 8 hours of toil in the sun she’ll let me have a stale bread crust and some like warm water to take the edge off – or a beer, either way.

I’ve spent many years being spectacularly rubbish at any kind of DIY. From not knowing which end of a paint brush to hold to drilling through important utilities such as water pipes and electricity cables. Such is my prowess with any tool whatsoever, it’s rare I’m even asked to dig anything up. In case I’m found in the neighbours garden ruining their begonias*

I still award myself a beer tho. Because everyone loves a trier 🙂

*allegedly. I’ve no idea. My view of gardening is if it’s green it’s a weed, if it’s red, it’s probably a tomato.

Well that was a disaster, set up issues at the beginning meant I was a lap down then I had a laptop battery fail as kiddo had been on it earlier and by the time I got it plugged in I was 40secs behind solo. Decent workout trying to get back on though.

Yeah that course is a bitch to get back on if you lose the group.

I’ve spent many years being spectacularly rubbish at any kind of DIY.

McMoonter I am not. Unfortunately Mrs brain wouldn’t know the difference between a hammer and a screw driver so I look like Tim Allen in home improvement (well, I look a lot like the other chap but that’s not the point)

Good fun that, I definitely can’t sprint though. I saw 800w I think briefly on the first sprint and I don’t think I fully recovered until the end, legs like celery 🤣

Have we to do anything re the TTT by the way other than be there on Thursday and don’t be rubbish?

Sorry to miss this evening was getting my kit out and got the “I thought you were doing the kids bedtime tonight” so couldn’t get on until later.

Very much looking forward to the TTT though…

Can I have an invite to the next one please @weeksy?

Just followed you on Zwift. (Dan K)

Are we sorting a ride order and power targets etc or are we just winging out on the night?

Who’s def riding, barring unforseen circumstances?

Me – Cat D

I’ll deffo run that course and plan again though. Assuming you fellas enjoyed it.

Flat courses and Sprints are not my forte, but I must admit it was a perfect course for this group and a fun hour’s riding. I just don’t know where the time goes – it seems like we’ve hardly started and it’s over.

Rest days? That’s a concept.

It is for us oldies.

TTT?

Wassat?

DrP

I think it’s something to do with jelly babies

See here DrP

OK that’s not working as I hoped.

Page 335/336.

You want the post on 336 that starts “Our team is entered. 7.40pm on Thursday, Astoria Line 8.

Now you each need to sign up as individual riders. We need between 3 and 8 people. Here’s what to do”

Zwift, my journey, my weight and my fitness.

Right then, next installment is Friday 4pm. Currently it’s set to greater London flat but depends what world is empty that day.

Will there be sprints? #sobs #rocksgentlyunderdesk

Alas.. Will be working…. but have fun 👍

DrP

Thanks for invite, but will be at work. Enjoy.
