Rest day Monday + dinner before race = DIRE legs last night. Sorry A's! well done though, another good result, think we punch well above our weight in the group. Want to thank Matt S and Mat P for all your efforts in organising the teams and doing …

And my axe! (Yes please)
-
To be honest it could all happen naturally anyway - a break nearly stayed away last year on the full Richmond ZRL race after the first sprint. Lets all be really alert for sprint 1 and wing it
-
I was going to suggest all CCA B's going for the sprint HARD on the first lap then seeing if we can keep the pressure on real hard for a minute or two to see if a break stays away, would potentially help mop up 1st through sprints. Would need maximum…

Getting there early - in for Tuesday wherever i'm needed
-
Im in!
-
Worth me dropping to the B's for the Volkom race to see if i can snaffle a few more points?
-
was thinking of something similar Matt, you and Chris do the main pulling on the flat/lesser drags then let the rate determining pace up the climbs be me, Stef and Dan. Probably want to make the call whether to shed people at each section or stay tog…
-
In for Tuesday if there's space
-
strewth that's ridiculous! It's TTT next week right? From the recon that some of the guys did it sounds like its worth riding the course to know how it flows, and that the traditional string wont work due to all the undulation changes, maybe it's wor…
-
Top stuff..my plan was to bag as many bonus points in the KOM as i could and see what happens in the sprint/at the finish, i hope a really small group would get stay away but a larger group came back over the KOM, scored well which helped
-
As i'm in B today going to see if i can cling nearer the front for some bonus FAL/FTS points and go from there..this course is always horrendous, can't wait
-
I'm easy with whatever..i'll defer to Stef
-
In for Tuesday!
-
Flashwell Gordons?
-
Yeah weird, i think i was showing as 6th or 7th on the leader board during the race but only scored 1 bonus point overall in the table afterwards, so actually the people above me on the leader board were quicker than me more than once (?) very odd sc…
-
Yeah i think it will be difficult to coordinate when so scattered..and sprinting from a small bunch likely more effective given how hard comms will be!
-
Probably also worth remembering to have a gel/energy drink on hand everyone..this one will probably be well over an hour
-
Really interesting Matt, thanks! Sounds like a course familiarisation is going to be helpful. Matt P - thinking about tactics for Innsbruck: for the I think its worth you and Chris doing what you can to stay in the front pack. It will split big …
-
In for tuesday - 3 x up the Innsbruck leg breaker followed by the full KOM..sending prayers for good legs already
-
Yeah its a tough ending..harder than i remember..goes to show the power of a big group draft..i dont think we could have gone much faster either way just shows we paced it really well from our splits and making a lot of time up...I think Matts tactic…
-
A's beat the 6th place team by just 1.2s as well - what a result chaps, could have all been down to that heroic pull by Graham on the twisties then being led in with a long turn by Chris when i was swinging! Innsbruck i think next which will be savag…
-
In for the TTT! great work in the results so far as well, maybe i'll try for some of the early sprints as wont really be anywhere on the hillier courses..tough one to judge, loving the camraderie already
-
The kids got watts to burn that's for sure! still it shows Matt's smart racing goes a long way. Anyone seen league results yet?
-
Rob: 1. Yes that's right count down over discord, we have used it for the whole race and it helps a lot. I tend to stop pedaling totally at 0 for 1 or 2 seconds then a quick standing surge to let the string past but get back on the end (Zwift overtak…
-
Well that was bloody hard..for my power profile i think Richmond reverse is my bogey course. Cracked up the 7% long drag second time out, great work Dave hanging in that group. Won the sprint for 30th which may mean a lone point extra than the rest o…
-
It should show you on the mini map people who youre following on zwift with a different colour dot, get everyone added and will be easier to see the team. Then cling on for dear life
-
A for me please!
-
Sign me up for the A's Matt. Thanks for organising

Rob Hales or there is a place in Norwich that has a good reputation: HQ Fibre Repair i think
