    @Martin, they use the word appears several times but yes the issues are visible from the ground with no access required (now I know what I’m looking for – the builder all spotted it right away and all said the same)

    Thanks Duncan and Chris. Tempted to save myself the stress too but leaves a bitter taste

    Meh. Disappointed with mine. I’ve gone from 260 to 267

    I feel so much stronger and faster but just can’t get the numbers to show that.

    I did Ruckus yesterday. Nice little spin.

    Did Tenacity today. Found the last two sets really hard!

    I’m planning on fitting in 2 long rides over the weekend – just don’t know when yet so I won’t be able to join any group rides

    Whats the plan next week? I’m only available Monday – Wednesday so am planning on doing the FTP on Wednesday. Anyone else up for that or is everyone doing all 4 days?

    A deserved and hard fought victory for @vanilla83 – kudos for a huge improvement through the season.

    Thank you. The Zwift training plan that DrP suggested doing is definitely making a difference

    Cracking time @robbo1234biking!

    Thanks to whoever nominated me for Rider’s Rider as well!

    That was hard! The half way point seemed to take forever!

    FTP increase though to 266w

    Hmm..thanks for the nomination, but as I haven’t raced this series I’m not sure I qualify 😄😄🤣🤣

    Maybe those who’ve really committed, dug deep, and improved from the training should get the prize? Not silly old me!

    DrP

    Hadn’t realised that you hadn’t raced at all!

    Haha! It backfires as I just want to get as far away as quickly as possible ;)

    Can I nominate two?

    If so @stumpy01 for being constantly cheery and encouraging others and @DrP for starting the Zwift training plan which has made a huge difference to my fitness already for these races

    I did Hang Ten on Monday – tough but decent ride

    Planning on doing Bricolage over the weekend, not sure when tho!

    @Straightliner
    .. then just gambled and jumped on to a MTB. Turns out it was a fortuitous decision and I managed to catch the group ahead on the long descent and then keep it going on the climb out, with the group splitting and just B Clark keeping me honest. I toyed with the idea of staying on the MTB but hopped back to a road bike in the end, finishing safely on my own.

    You came absolutely storming up to us on the MTB and I had to put everything I had to cling on up the climb on the road bike – you kept jumping 2 or 3m seemingly at whim and I’d have to bury myself to get back on.

    There’s a nice 1hr 55m session in the week after next, that’s going to be fun… NOT!😬

    Eurosport highlights on one screen, Zwift on another ;)

    Giza for me tonight. Comfortable ride but oddly still felt like I had done a decent ride and accomplished something.

    Pedal drills (from week 5 that I missed) and Attack tonight. Last rep of Attack was tough. Not sure I could have held on for another min

    Zwift crashed for me and couldn’t get back in time so missed the start. Really annoyed!

    Anyone struggle to get onto Zwift tonight? Could connect via iPhone app but MacBook said it couldnt connect to update server and then said my login was incorrect. I vaguely remember this being an issue before and can’t remember how it was solved

    Back on it after a week off with Covid and another week off after on holiday .

    Did “8” tonight. Legs felt good, heart rate and breathing did not!

    vanilla83

    My turn

    Faint red line on Sunday, bright red line Monday morning and coughing fits. Feel really rubbish and really tired.

    Finally caught Covid so I’m out for a week or so until I fight this off

    Really disappointed
