    Bit of practice is a good idea 👍

    Also, can anyone advise if the Team TT events are completed on standard road bikes or include TT specific models ?

    Cheers
  • mattssmattss
    No TT bikes for TTT, they don't draft. So just best road bike you have... Normally Tron if you have acquired.
  • Vincent71Vincent71
    Thanks Matt,
    One more. does anyone know if allowed to TTT with a disc wheel on the road bikes?
  • mattssmattss
    Disc wheels ok I believe
  • Matt_PalmerMatt_Palmer

  • Vincent71Vincent71
    I should as have not raced a TTT before.

    I see we have to have a designated jersey this time we all need to wear.
  • Matt_PalmerMatt_Palmer
    We went with the Digi blue camo again, but you get auto assigned it when you join.

    I can’t do tomorrow eve, sorry
  • StefStef
    Apologies - I can't make a TTT session this evening either
  • timAtimA
    I can do this evening, if not too late.
  • Matt_PalmerMatt_Palmer
    Doesn't look like enough can make a practice run.

    I think I'll do this race this evening if anyone is interested in joining.

    I've just signed back up to Zwift, will try and get a couple of races in before the new season starts
  • timAtimA
    Just did first race since the winter - not nice. Definitely out of shape race-wise.

    I found this schedule of the upcoming league races - and thought it a good idea to share:

    image

    To prep for the imminent beastings, I've entered the 7.20pm Mad Monday race this evening which has a vibe similar to the upcoming nutty races.

    Interestingly - see the description - you'll see there are two race options for this... One is aimed at riders who are gasping in the lower half of their w/kg category, the other is for those suffering in the top half. i.e. I'm against others in Cat B, 3.6 - 4.0 w/kg. No point in looking for an easier ride. Obvs, the other Cat B race is for those looking around 3.0 - 3.5 w/kg, etc.

    Maybe see you there? I can jump up the CCA Discord channel if anyone wants to banter beforehand. 24hr-only Discord link:

    Cheers Martin.

    Planning on a Saturday arvo/eve TTT training session ahead of next week's round 1.

    For those wanting to join in this and future training sessions, make sure you are following me on Zwift so I can send you a meetup invite.

    I'll post a new thread.

    With my shift pattern I’ll only be available for rounds 2,4,6,8 & P2 if we’re in it
  • Vincent71Vincent71
    Had a recce of the TTT route last night, and it is almost entirely flat apart from the short volcano section. No doubt it will be completed quite quickly when at full gas.

    Wondering how much sustained power I would need to be competitive/useful in the B squad, from a "lighter" rider perspective...
  • ChrisPChrisP
    Do we race the opening qualifiers chaps? these start next tuesday correct?
  • mattssmattss
    I thought we did Chris, not sure now!!
  • mattssmattss
    Cheers Graham. My son's footie training is Tuesday so in reality, might only be able to participate in a couple of rounds.
  • Vincent71Vincent71
    The first 2 races are normal races for returning teams. For new teams, however, WTRL will use these races to evaluate whether they have been placed in the correct divisions.

    Hi all, ZRL seems to have got all very formal since last time. I have just noticed that we need to recruit 4 riders for each team by tomorrow. 😬.
  • Matt_PalmerMatt_Palmer
    That means 4 for A and 4 for B. I need to look into it further but pretty sure I read you can ride for two teams so it doesn't matter what names we get down, we just need to get names down. Fast. Watch this space as I try and press some buttons on the WTRL site.
  • Matt_PalmerMatt_Palmer
    OK, we need Zwift ID numbers pretty fast. Can you PM me with Zwift ID numbers so we can can get at least 4 registered with A and B. We can have a maximum of 12 down for each team ultimately. So we can still mix and max as last time. Thanks.
  • mattssmattss
    Well spotted Matt. Do we submit these for each race then?
  • mattssmattss
    edited September 2021
    Looks like we have until 4pm Sat.

    Zwift IDs to Matt, as above, for those wanting to race Tuesday...
  • timAtimA
    Do we know what times the races are yet for A and B?
