Zwift Team Time Trial – Thursday evenings

Very much doubt its a heat thing, much more likely to be the dongle. How are you connecting bt or ant+? Running discord (bt headphones?) from another device or also pc?

I’d say try another dongle first.

Probably a brief drop of the bt connection and then spiralling from there.

Cheers db
ant+ for everything (trainer & HR)
Yes discord but no wireless for that. The setup worked fine in last week’s RobboRace and that was without discord but my connection is wired these days and speed seems to be fine when tested.
It’s a “proper” PC and I don’t run fancy settings on zwift
Maybe I’ll look for a new dongle as that’d be the cheapest fix. I def still need to clean out the trainer innards though

Hi all
Spreadsheet is clear for Thursday 7.40pm.
3 laps of volcano flat – sign up here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E_0I0hulOaE2y34RpjckVCoT2Jks16vypeZ98L_LUw8/edit?usp=sharing

@scaredypants it’s possible that it takes 15mins for the PC to get hot enough that it speeds up the internal fans. The increased EMI could be enough to kill the Ant+ signal. Is the dongle direct into the PC? If so try using a shielded usb extension cable to bring it closer.

There are some other tips worth trying on zwiftalizer (load the zwo file from the failed event and see what it says).

thanks nixie – going to try a couple of dodges & see

Dongle is on an extension lead (is it a decent one? try swapping that)
I do have a BT dongle somewhere so maybe I’ll try that instead of ANT

have never used zwiftalizer. WIll def take a look

I’ll be a late addition if I’m about and there’s a spare slot but assume I’m out for the purposes of planning.
I’m working in Cambridge on Thursday so it’ll depend when I get back.

Can’t you just say you have no fuel Brian and therefore can’t get to Cambridge?!

You may jest…

@savoyad – I can’t make this week unfortunately
Phil

Still coughing like a snot filled drain with man-flu, jeez.

Will ride on Tues eve and see what occurs, update Weds.

Looks like we are short on numbers again for tomorrow – seems only 2 of us on the spreadsheet- not looked on Zwift

I’m going to plan to do something else now

See you all soon

Yeah, it’s not looking good. Just @robbo1234biking signed up for an ITT at the moment.

Let’s leave it for this week. We’ll try again next week.

I’m in work on Thursday evening. I might be able to join in next week tho.

Anyone up for this Thursday?

Get sign up people! Here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E_0I0hulOaE2y34RpjckVCoT2Jks16vypeZ98L_LUw8/edit?usp=sharing

I’ve signed up one team, it’ll be 3x innsbrucking (26km) at 7.40pm Thursday.

it’ll be 3x innsbrucking

And with that everyone says ‘I’m out!’

I’m in!

I should be good for this week. I’ve a meeting at 6.15 but it should be done in time for the ttt.

My name is down but feel free to bump me if we go over 8

I’m not going to join in this week.
I have a few days of real outdoor biking to contend with so I’ll save my energy for that
👍😃

4, maybe 5 so far – any more takers?

Thurs 7.40, Innsbruckring.

Any of the 2 maybes converted into a yes yet? @djflexure @dangeourbrain

I’ll be honest I’m less sure than I was earlier in the week robbo.

Right, i’m not sure how this works but due to no beavers and no guides tonight I’ll be available for one week only.

If you’re short a pair of legs and i’m not knocking a regular out then i’ll be happy to provide some diesel power

Cheers scaled. @savoyad can you post up the info for scaled? Also we need a link.

We are going to have between 5 and 7 riders tonight by the looks of it. Last did Innsbruckring in April and it is around 40 minutes for the 3 laps.

I haven’t signed up yet as I’m not sure what the day holds. If I’m back in time and up for it I’ll see you on the line.

Right I have a WTRL profile now, just need links for the team, discord and presumably the event in zwift?

https://discord.gg/jsxEFKFm

Here is the discord link. Savoyad will post up with a click through link which enters you (sign in through work) and the takes you to the event in Zwift companion.

@savoyad I think we all need the link to enter don’t we?

Welcome @scaled!

Everyone enter pen A here: https://www.wtrl.racing/zwift/zwiftsignon.php?id=S0U1MVpVVWFlTGp0cXZSL25jU2xqUT09

start delay is 5.5 minutes – so in the pen by 19:40 and off at 19:45:30

I think the team is @phil56, @slowpuncheur, @robbo1234biking, @haloric, @scaled plus hopefully @dangeourbrain and @djflexure

Has someone explained the start process to @scaled?

Has someone explained the start process to @scaled?

Get in the pen, don’t pedal, REPEAT DON’T PEDAL until someone says go on discord?

Dont forget not to pedal…and no crazy breaks of the front like on Tuesday!

I’ve signed up

P.

Great – that’s 7 or 8

@haloric I’m not seeing you signed up yet…

Done now, thanks.

I should be able to keep up on the flat, if I can advise anything its to stay close/behind on the leg snapper, and I won’t have to die keeping up there.

Sorry I didn’t make it folks, only just finished.

Sorry guys, the increase in effort on the leg snapper burnt all my reserves.

I’m never quite sure why we need to increase so much on the climb, but I was in the red for the whole thing – still enjoyed it – got to get the weight down to be competitive I think..

We came 267th out of 534 teams with a time of 41:03 officially.

Our times for each lap were:

13:26
13:28
13:25

So pretty consistent really!

Its a good point Haloric but I dont think it is intentional. Everyone likes to attack the climbs and it ends up a bit like an over under with the climbs being just over. The issue being that we are taking you too far into the red on the climbs.

The good news is that next week is the watopia flat route.

This week is 3x watopia flat – so the flattest 30km that watopia has to offer.

All welcome, if your name isn’t on the sheet just add it.

I’ll post the team entry link and full lineup on Wednesday.

Signed up for this week, need all the motivation I can get at the moment.
