Zwift Team Time Trial – Thursday evenings

It looks like we don’t have a team for tonight – not surprising considering it’s half term

Next week then…

If it makes any difference, I would be a yes, as I’m actually home on time

Ok there’s a c cat ride with about the same start time I’ll do that.

P

(don’t need to race though, obvz)

I have cleared the spreadsheet for Thursday (I think Savoyad is away so hopefully he does the team registration for us!)

25km of RGV this week so a fairly short one!

Thanks robbo. I’ve put the entry in.

5 in so far so we have a team. Any more takers?

“R.G.V.” Route Details (France)

The route is pretty flat – lets not kill everyone on the Aquaduct KOM to save 10 seconds. Its only a 40 second or so segment anyway so would suggest we stick to 3.0 w/kg or thereabouts. It might all go wrong when we get to the rollers but lets get to them as a team first!

I can’t join in this week (I’ve not joined in for many weeks!) I might join in in the future though.

At the moment it’s @paino @phil56 @slowpuncheur @robbo1234biking @haloric

Room for more.

Here’s the racepass, enter pen D here: https://www.wtrl.racing/RacePass/?id=NWg5MGh5TWVnSkRVK1NYWEZrVFR3dz09

I’ll post the time delay later.

In, both on the Spreadsheet and on wtrl.

🙂

P.

I’m in (as much as I ever am, anyway – if the team gets full and somebody more dependable wants to ride, I’ll happily drop out)

Thanks @Savoyad (& Robbo – I’ve taken a screenshot of the 3w/kg bit !)

Lol @scaredypants. I’m sure there’ll be room for you.

I’ve signed up too – looks like we have a full roster of 8 riders. Should be good.

Team full!

The line up is @paino @haloric @paul-s @slowpuncheur @phil56 @scaredypants @djflexure @robbo1234biking

Cool! Just checking, the above link is to the race pass, can’t see the link to sign into the D Pen? Zwift companion already sees me as signed up though?

Same here paino – I just assumed it was the new way (companion app shows me as entered too)

Oh yes, brave new world. No flyers anymore, and no need to enter via the pens. WTRL handle it all.
Just follow the racepass, and you are done.

Everyone is correctly signed up. @paino @haloric @paul-s @slowpuncheur @phil56 @scaredypants @djflexure @robbo1234biking

Start delay is 4 minutes. So in the pen by 19:43 and off at 19:47

Enjoy!

New pack dynamics are enabled for the TTT tonight so there may be a slight difference. Will just have to see how it goes/what it is like?

The route is pretty flat – lets not kill everyone on the Aquaduct KOM to save 10 seconds.

This means if you don’t see me in front of you or right on your wheel, take a breather, I’ll be there shortly !.

Fortunately that rise is not too long, so I should be nearby if we don’t go crazy.

Had a family bereavement and been rushing around all day. Probably won’t make it, even though cycling usually helps me as a coping mechanism.

Good luck if I’m not there

P

So sorry to hear that @paul-s – I hope you are doing OK. Look after yourself and the family. This coping mechanism will still be here when you’re ready for it again.

@Paul-S I completely echo the above. Take care of yourself and your loved ones first and foremost. See you soon.

Oh wow, sorry to hear that Paul

Condolences and best wishes from me, whatever you decide to do

Sorry to hear that paul-s – my condolences to you and your loved ones.

Thanks everyone for dragging me round, shepherding me back on and general shouting encouragement. For me it’s a fine line between being hanging on close to the limit and then suddenly it being too much.

Cramp was coming for the much of the 2nd half, and finally struck about 100m from the finish, had to pedal one legged to reach the line.

Managed a 2w ftp increase which hasn’t happened for a while, so at least I was over my limit.

Thanks again.

Well done Ant – it’s not easy clinging on like that when you don’t feel great

Good effort Ant, kudos for sticking with it…one legged finish, awesome!
I think at one point tonight we were 7 riders wide rather than the traditional line…made me laugh anyway!
All the best to you Paul S, hope to see you back soon mate.

Well done all!

The new pack dynamics were pretty tricky. Sure we will get used to them but we were definitely 7 abreast a lot! Seemed pretty easy to break the tow of the guy behind you as well – could be I interesting for Tuesday!

Team is entered for this week. 1x Figure 8 Reverse in Watopia, so a bit hillier. 7.40pm Thurs.

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

Just three so far. That’s probably not enough.

Any more takers?

I’m in. Come on people. It’ll be fun!

Sorry I have a gym induction, only time we could get. As if you need to be told how to use weights and exercise machines.

P.

I’m in. Come on people. It’ll be fun!

🤣🤣🤣

I’m a 50/50. Not sure what time I’ll be back from work and the general daily grind.

I’m able to join, but hills aren’t good for me so I might well be a limiting factor

The spreadsheet keeps changing as I sit watching it. I think we’ll get a team out. For now:
In: @yanboss, @phil56, @slowpuncheur, @robbo1234biking
Maybe:@paino and @scaredypants

One click racepass https://www.wtrl.racing/RacePass/?id=eUJkM3VweWJhNTk3ZHB4aUtvSzFVUT09

I’ll post the delay later

@scaredypants I put you as a maybe based off the spreadsheet, I hadn’t seen your post. Ride! @phil56 knows how to get people up these hills.

@phil56 knows how to get people up these hills

That’s what scares me most. Last week: You weren’t there man – you don’t know

🤣

Start delay is 4.5 minutes.

In the pen by 19:43 and off at 19:47:30

@savoyad Is it too late for me to join? Can someone tell me how to do the new fangled sign-on system? I haven’t done a TTT since last winter…
