OK Matt. Get better soon. Paul, you're up if still OK?
-
Evening all, 14 of us this week wanting to ride. Perhaps season 3 we need 3 teams! If Rob and Paul are still OK with the offer of standing by that means the teams are as follows. 5 As leaves one place left. With Dan in Bs then Graham h…

Thanks Stef. Good thoughts on a final attack and the sprint. I rode the course earlier in a group ride, no one was really sprinting apart from me so difficult to gauge. It is a very short sprint segment so can see why it would string out early.
-
The strategy is going to be challenging for this one. Lots of options. 5 sprints and a slog. Perhaps sprints 1 and 2 max out as lots of fresh legs so likely to be together. Then perhaps a double attack with 1km to go for the 3rd sprint. 4th and …

https://zwiftinsider.com/zrl-s2-w7 Course details. Playoffs isn't a thing for our lowly divisions. Just A1s. It does mean though we need to keep up the points for another 2 races.

Vielen Dank

Has anyone worked out how the playoffs work? I think the top 2 teams get promoted. But how this links to the last two races I'm not sure. Perhaps the playoffs are just a premier league thing.

The forum is live again! Excellent. Our camera man had a technical at the top of the 1st climb so dropped out of the group. But a good section of me pipping ChrisL to the top of the first climb after Chris's early launch. Unfortunately, our…

3 volcanos in a row. Only 11 riders so we could do with another rider if possible. Or a B looking for a warm down ride.... I have put 5 in team A in the hope that someone else might join the party. To keep with the suggestion above wit…

OK thanks Graham. Will sort out teams later. John, yes, a link will be sent after the teams get assigned.
-
John, can you join the CC Ashwell Riders team on ZwiftPower. You can be a member of multiple teams. Thanks
-
Excellent. Thanks John.

Welcome to the fun Vincent. We have 10 signed up so far with 12 spaces. Every finisher makes a big difference in points, so anyone else fancy it? Literally no pressure apart from crossing the line. We'll try and keep as 2 strongest 5min Bs …

Remember to get names down for race 6. 3 times up the volcano at 41.5km. Another nice gruelling one. I'm doing the XRS Climbing Series at 14:00 if anyone fancies it.
-
Good thoughts Dan. I think the best chance of points is the first climb. The first climb is always the fastest as it rips the race apart with max draft on bottom slopes as numbers are high. Treating the the first time past the KOM as the finish …
-
So for Team A it worked well and felt fast. Stef pulled an amazing effort up to to glass road. Dan powered us to the base of the climb. Dave and ChrisP beasted the climb. ChrisL then carried us home. I just did a short turn every now and then. …

Hi Rob. Sorry, just seen your note. Last season I never got the manager view to work but never worked out why. You sign into pen E, but then I just sat there on my own not able to jump to any one. Perhaps this is better now. However...... …
-
I was trying to work out last night how much faster the larger teams were on the final half. But too difficult to work out any definite number. Dan, your power would certainly make us faster on the second half so let's see how the main climb fai…
-
So, these are my thoughts for Team A. 5 min power/weight the 4 over the KOM will be. Chris's L and P Dave MattP So to keep as fresh as possible the following could work. Split into 6 sections. Section 1: up to glass road Stef t…
-
A invites now sent. Currently watching the various videos to see if we can come up with a plan.
-
Ok thanks Dan and Rob. Dan, are you still happy to ride if Rob sits this one out?
-
Teams for Tuesday! Great numbers still and we have 13 so will need someone in reserve. Using the random number generator, that person will be..... Me So, to try and keep 5 minute w/kg powers as close as possible for the lumpy bits…
-
Remember to put your name down for Tuesday's race!
-
Dan, thanks. I might join if my legs are in one piece. I'm riding the 4 Horseman at 8:30 in the morning if anyone fancies joining me. 2000m of climbing.
-
Interesting to watch the end of the race unfolding. From 37.5 minutes at the base of the second climb. From 3 seconds over the top to 13 seconds before the group behind reforms and gathers pace for a very close finish! Well done ChrisL, you barely s…
-
Have now been bumped up to 2nd team on the night! Every point counts!
-
Good spot Chris. That is indeed the case having just read it. I've contacted race control although they only give you 12 hours from race to dispute results! We shall see. Either way, I've congratulated them on an amazing series which is more importa…
-
Just noticed week 6. 3 X volcano KOM. 😵
-
Looks like As came joint 2nd in the race points, but ended up in 3rd place for reasons unknown. This still though consolidates our 2nd overall which is great.
-
Well done all. Another brutal race! Good result ChrisP. Top 10 in the Bs. Extraordinary effort from ChrisL to keep the two of us together as a second pair on the road in the final few kms for 3rd and 4th. A tough but enjoyable night's …
