    Yeah, good ride tonight guys. Thanks for sticking with me, appreciate the help.

    I need to up my fitness and lose a few kilos. I’m a little behind to where I was this time last year, but these types of rides around and above my FTP defo helps out.

    I may take note of what my watch says this time and take it easy for 72 hours 😂

    Evil course for a TTT that one! Legs broken.

    Is there any interest in the next two (novelty) TTTs?

    Thurs 23rd – Bologna x2
    Thurs 30th – Road to Sky

    And if so – normal time?

    I’ve entered 7.40pm this week, but if a consensus for a different time emerges quickly enough (by Weds) I can change.

    Sign up sheet is clear: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E_0I0hulOaE2y34RpjckVCoT2Jks16vypeZ98L_LUw8/edit?usp=sharing

    But probably best to discuss in here as well, at least to start with…

    Sorry, I’m out – pretty much my busiest month ever coming up, I suspect.  Some virus, they say 🤷‍♂️

    Can’t do this week but would be happy to do one on the 30th.

    I’d be ok on this one, an earlier start time would suit.

    I’m currently down with the Covid so tomorrow isn’t happening. Realistically, the Alpe appears optimistic in 8 days’ time but we’ll see. Have a great Christmas all.

    It’s not happening this week. Let’s see what happens next week.


    @slowpuncheur
    I hope you are doing OK. Get well.

    Yeah sorry, bit tardy this week ! – I am out for next week too, easing myself back in after injury a bit at a time.

    See you in the New Year – have a great xmas.

    I’d be up for a TT down the Alpe but I don’t think I’ll be joining in an up hill Alpe TT!

    Happy New Year. More normal TTTs are back. Are we?

    2 laps of Harrogate UCI this week, 28km. I’ve put a team in, Thursday 7.40pm

    I’m in work this week 🙁

    I’m in, anyone else?

    @yanboss only you and me, so I don’t think we’ll be riding. I’ll probably enter something else this evening unless there’s a sudden surge in interest.

    savoyad

    2 and a half (@paul-s is the half) isn’t enough. So @phil56 has hit the nail on the head – either a sudden surge of interest, or we try again next week. Realistically – the latter?

    I’ll be back next week. Still school holidays here so an evening zwifting when I could be sitting on the sofa watching films with my son isn’t appealing!

    Sorry I’m late to the post though it looks like I’d only make 3 any how.

    I’ll put myself on the list but otherwise I’ll pick something up early doors as it looks like I’m working from home tomorrow and how

    savoyad

    Ok. We’ll call it off for this week, give everyone time to choose something else to do.

    Back next week…

    Let’s try again. This week it is 3x Watopia Hilly, so 28km on a classic course.

    I’ve entered a team for 7:40pm on Thursday.

    Declare your availability here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E_0I0hulOaE2y34RpjckVCoT2Jks16vypeZ98L_LUw8/edit?usp=sharing

    Nag your friends to join us.

    (@stumpy01 you were marked as “in” on the sheet since I last looked – did you mean that for next Thursday?)

    Hi all. Just @phil56 and @giggsmaster signed up so far. (Phil, I hope you are feeling OK!).

    Any more takers?

    I’m worried this is fading away. I am happy to keep coordinating as long as there is interest – but there’s not much of that right now. If we were to stop, I’d be happy to coordinate again if there’s call for a return in future. Thoughts?

    I’m in sorry. I’m happy either way really @savoyad appreciate it can be a bit of a nuisance to do all the admin even if people are racing let alone when they’re not.

    If I were to guess I’d say the Christmas new year thing won’t help so maybe don’t worry about entries for a couple of weeks and see if people are back to normal ish and there’s more uptake come February?

    I’m still interested but having done only 2 or 3 rides in the last month after injury I am feeling my way back.

    After tonights group thash I may know more, but 3 hilly is probably my worst nightmare when I am ready, and feels like a step too far for the third ride of the year.

    If its still viable, barring a setback, I will be in the following week.

    Next week is Wandering Flats which is fairly short but a good course for people to reintroduce themselves if people are doubtful. I cant make this week but would like it going if we can…

    Hopefully I’ll be back in 3 weeks, work shift dependant tho 🤔

    I could ride this week – won’t be fast, mind, as I’m still recovering from a poorly back

    savoyad
    Full Member

    I’m persuaded that it’s a lull rather than the end.

    And I think we need to stop worrying about being fast!

    We have 4 riders for this week. Tonight’s catastophe might mean we get a couple more. So let’s see. And keep taking it week to week…

    giggsmaster

    I agree with savoyad regards worrying about being fast, especially with me in the team!

    I’m back indoors so happy to join in (have signed up on excel sheet). I have completely forgotten what I need to do to sign up on Zwift.

    savoyad
    Full Member

    @munkeymadness there’s a new signup system. You need an account at WTRL linked to your zwift ID. Sign up here if you don’t have that: https://www.wtrl.racing/registration.php

    Then later I post an entry link in the thread which takes you to the zwift sign in page via WTRL to match you to the team. So no more team tags etc.

    savoyad
    Full Member

    OK, we have 5 riders signed up: @phil56, @scaredypants, @munkeymadness, @dangeourbrain, @giggsmaster.

    Others are very welcome to grab one of the remaining three slots: post in here so we can keep track.

    Enter Pen D here: https://www.wtrl.racing/RacePass/?id=L05FMVo3cUpxbDRFRFF3R3gwN3FGZz09

    Start delay is 13 mins (!) – so in the pen by 19:43 and off at 19:56

    Hello all

    Ive started Zwifting recently and could be interested in this as some motivation to push for higher levels of exertion (& sweat!!)

    Im around 226 pounds with approx 200w ftp – would I be too slow?

    @alibongo001 no one is ever too slow. If you make the effort to turn up and are interested in pushing yourself you’ll have 5 team mates to help and support you

    dangeourbrain

    would I be too slow?

    No such thing.

    We’re firmly interested in the Team bit of Team TT so more the merrier.

    You may find you’re sitting in the whole way round rather than pulling on the front to begin with (or when, like me, you’re returning from being lazy and greedy for months) but with practice you’ll get quicker anyhow.
    (One or two have gotten much quicker since the whole thing started out. So much so we’re too slow now and they joined another team 😉)

    giggsmaster

    I’m one of the ‘slow’ ones and I can safely say that I never got left behind. The encouragement was so good it pushed my FTP up after the 1st event I did this winter. It definitely helps with the fitness side of things!
