    Well done all. I couldn't see anything in pen E. No idea how that was supposed to work.
  • mattssmattss
    Great work chaps. Sorry, didn't see your msg Matt. Tbh legs were bobbins last night so I wouldn't have helped at all.
  • mattssmattss
    Matt P, fancy taking on Team Captain of the A's?

    This will mean you will be sent the Racer sign in emails to distribute. I am happy to stay Manager for any admin purposes.
  • Matt_PalmerMatt_Palmer
    Yes, very happy to do what's needed.

    So to kick things off:

    Who's up for Tuesday night.

    2 laps of Yorkshire. https://zwiftinsider.com/zrl-s1-w9 (link doesn't work yet, but I took a wild guess).
  • Dan HallDan Hall
    I'm in
  • davewellsdavewells
    I'll be up for it if my cooked legs have got over IRL Yorkshire riding today...
  • ChrisLChrisL
    I’m up for a bit of Yorkshire too
  • ChrisPChrisP
    keen if there's still space
  • Matt_PalmerMatt_Palmer
    Still one space left. Matt S or Graham (or anyone else?) are you joining us?

    Also Matt. What's the difference between team captain and manager?
  • mattssmattss
    Manager is more Admin and if we ever get to heady heights of the Premier League, is responsible for providing rider weight data etc. Captain will get the sign on emails and details for each race
  • mattssmattss
    I can race if there is nobody faster available. Anything to get 1 point!!!
  • mattssmattss
    Cough* Graham would be faster*cough
  • grahamaskewgrahamaskew
    Love to race Matt but working tonight. I’d only get the single point also. Maybe a tactic to go for a longer range sprint for bonus points? I read it’s done in order across the line as supposed to fastest time.
  • mattssmattss
    Tough course that!... Either up or down! Groupetto at the back for me with 3/4 others. Joined by Dave briefly until he found his legs again and got away with a few Km to go.


    Well done Matt P.... 2nd!!!!
  • Matt_PalmerMatt_Palmer
    Another tough but enjoyable race!

    All the collective points gives us 3rd team on the night. I can't get my phone to attach images. So a great ride all round!

    The rather flat overall scoring keeps is in 6th overall, dominated by those who have ridden more races than us. Something to rectify for season 2!
  • mattssmattss
    Final race of season 1... TTT, Watopia, Tick-Tock, 36km.

    Names below for those wanting to ride please, strong team required!! Currently sitting 6th in league but 5th or 4th possible...

    Matt P, can you send me your Zwift ID number so I can transfer you as A Captain. Cheers
  • Dan HallDan Hall
    Yes please Matt
  • davewellsdavewells
    Yes please Matt!
  • Matt_PalmerMatt_Palmer
    Yes please. ID sent in PM.
  • ChrisPChrisP

  • davewellsdavewells

  • grahamaskewgrahamaskew
    Space for one more?
  • Dan HallDan Hall
    Graham, I'm happy to swap out
  • mattssmattss

    Matt P
    Dan
    Dave
    Chris L
    Chris P
    Graham

    Email on its way
  • mattssmattss
    Dan is out unfortunately. If anyone else fancies a ride, let me know.
  • Matt_PalmerMatt_Palmer
    Shall we try similar to last time?

    Pull through at as close to 375 as possible. Build through to 400 if possible and then back to 375 before switch.

    60 to 90 second turns. Or hey, longer if cruising pace is 400 watts. Then sink and sprint.

    On down hills:
    Build slowly to 400+ if possible. Quicker turns.

    On uphills:
    Limit to 4.5 w/kg. Keep together to get max speed on downhill.

    Suggested order based on 5 minute powers:

    Graham
    Matt S (assuming in for Dan?)
    Dave
    Chris P
    Chris L
    Matt P
  • mattssmattss
    I'll be at the back...for a bit!!
  • ChrisPChrisP
    Works for me
  • mattssmattss
    Looks like a 6th place finish.

    Well done everyone. Sorry, barely made one lap round, legs were toast!

    Matt, can't see your ZwiftID, did you direct message it to me? Maybe send via email??
