Orange Unicorn done

Third interval was tough.

Stupid Zwift update has broken my Apple Watch connection again so got to see if I can merge heart rate data to the existing workout later

Sign me up – no changes

Thanks!

Trying to summon up the will to do mishmash. Think I’ll have another coffee first.

Enjoy. Legs are still hurting this morning. Its the slow rpm sections that kill me

I did mish mash tonight. Strong ride but legs are hurting now. Need to find some time to do the unicorn over the weekend

Get yourself on Zwift and join the race series on here.

My background is very similar to yours (including serious crashes) and Zwift has utterly reignited my passion and enjoyment of road and racing.

Nice one. I’m in as well

@J-R
Oof, that was tough. After loosing the front 3 up the hill I managed to settle down with @vanilla83 for a long slog, until he slowly edged ahead and it was all I could do to stop him finally taking a well deserved 20 seconds off me.

That was super tough. Looks like Dr P’s training plan is actually doing something though!

Thanks to everyone for the races and big thanks as always to @robbo1234biking for doing everything

What goes up, must come down done today

Last 9 mins is tough.

Devedeset Done. That’s week one all ticked off.

How did everyone get on with the unicorn on the group ride?

Red Unicorn done! Last main set rep is a killer!

You lot doing the group ride tomorrow are in for a treat

Pedalling drill done!

Not sure I’ll be doing another before work tho!

Benchmark done!

Considering doing that next one before work in the morning

Also got a tiny FTP improvement tonight @ Robbo of 260

Great thank you

I’ve never done a training plan before and have questions:

– It doesn’t seem easy to sign up to one. Do I log on as normal, then pick the training plan from the page where I’d normally pick the world/race?

– If to, then what happens? Will it tell me what day I have to do each one or do I pick myself and select them on the day I chose?

Cheers

Also Revolut. Used it faultlessly all over the world for years.

I can give you a referral link if you pm me

Yes I did – to use their remote connection thing which is where the attack came from. Other people have said that they hadn’t but still got attacked.

Thanks all

I’ve now got a Synology NAS and have recovered all my data (I paid the ransom)

I’ve got about 2TB of photos so the C2 option is looking best at the moment

Thanks for all the comments and advice.

@highpeakrider

I also pay under £9 a year for automatic offsite backups to synology plus external usb.

Where do I find this?

I’m up for this – was already looking at starting it after your comments on the other thread

I used to be on Questor for years too but switched to iCarHireInsurance recently as they cover camper van hire within the same policy.

MSE has a list of companies to check out as well.

Yes. Not the quickest delivery but used several times without issue (including returns)

@slowpuncheur haha no problem! I was genuinely knackered. I gave it everything to get over Fox Hill and just watched Robbo slowly ride away from me. Feeling it in my legs today!

@msjhes2
I got in with a good group and at one point we were only 6 seconds behind ‘the Paul’ group in front but they kept pulling a way. I enjoyed their banter of take a turn, I can’t I am dying.

Haha that was me! I was actually trying to go through but each time I tried, one of them would surge past me. I did pull a few turns on the front after being shamed tho ;)

It’s listed on my phone but no join button. Not listed on the laptop.

Same

Also can’t get in

To add, get rid of any QnapCloud accounts and disable UPnP on your NAS

Yes as some have said, this was my filestore – all my photos of my life and travels from ever. I don’t have backups. I stupidly trusted that Qnap would keep it secure as I’ve followed all their advice and suggestions. Please don’t give me a lecture on backups. Already upset enough as it is :(

Security Counsellor is all well and good but I’ve been running Malware Scanner that Qnap suggest with absolutely nothing found and my system was fully updated and they still got in – meaning that the advice from the last attack (last year) wasn’t correct.

I managed to stop the attack and am following a method on Bleeping Computers to try to restore my files but am struggling. I’ve logged a ticket with Qnap and am waiting a reply.

I’m in! No changes

Thanks :)

What everyone else said – cheap ones are rubbish and disappointing. Maybe try to get an older refurb or second hand GoPro on Ebay?

Maybe you’ll get it in a few more generations. You’ll be smarter and fitter then. I can recommend a good book that explains it

OMG how stupid am I

Argh got the castle! Thanks

Still stuck on the ape to man. I’ve seen the previous clues too but still can’t get it

I’m stuck on 78/80!!!

Can’t get the castle wrapped with a bow or the ape to man?

Yes please! Please sign me up

Thanks as always for all your work doing the races

I’m in!

@reluctantjumper

Huge thanks @robbo1234biking. It’s still an awful lot of fun, but the difference this made to lockdown was immense. See you all in the next series…

+1, the mental boost this series gave me through some very tough times the whole of last winter cannot be understated. Looking forward to the next one and hoping I can at least improve during it!

This and this. Thanks @robbo1234biking for doing all this again.

Just didnt have the legs this series. Thanks to everyone I blobbed with each race!

redfox

The price they charge for their rooms won’t have VAT on either, unlike almost every hotel in the country

You can charge VAT on Airbnb bookings. The website allows you to do it.

Most of what you’ve said is wrong tbh as well. I’m guessing you’ve just copied it from the DM or a local Bath councillor who opposes it?

I can’t make race one! Bit gutted but got an unexpected opportunity to see Kenton Cool who has just climbed Everest for the 15th time

Have fun!

@robbo1234biking PM-ed you!

I’m in!

I’ll PM FTP and weight closer to the start
