ChrisL, nice find. It was good to rewatch. Proof that I'm such a wheel sucker! It was also interesting to see where you dropped off as I swore you were up the road at one point. It was that super effort to get points on that sprint was then paid for …

The science of the TT as fine tuned during season 1. All in Watts as generally flat and weight doesn't matter. 4 riders need to cross the line so take 4th riders 20 minute power and x 85% to get to nice resting watts. Drafting for 4th …

I'll have a look at the sweetspot numbers.
-
That was certainly tough but fun. Dan, you were certainly right on climb three. Dragged on forever. Great rides by all.
-
6th Dan. Good work. Thanks for the heads-up. Never done this course the wrong way before.

Hi Graham. Are you still OK to ride in As. Lillie has another exciting opportunity. I'll drop you the link in a PM.
-
Hi Graham. Appreciate your work schedule. We'll make sure you get a ride in two weeks.

We found last season that it was difficult to employ any real tactics during the races. Cycle hard and try and hang on is the main one. Then agree who might try for any given sprint is the secondary one, but in reality that is pretty fluid depending …

https://zwiftinsider.com/zrl-s2-w1 This is the course recce for tonight. Punchy hills from the start so good warm up needed!
-
Team A start time is 19:55, so quite a bit later, but similar to last time. Link will be sent out via direct message on Forum to A riders shortly.
-
The names have been thrown in, the hat has been shaken and the following names have been pulled out. There were 13 names so one person was going to miss out, so at random, this week is Graham, but you get a ride next week as a definite. Assuming you…

As far as I can see there is no need to change ZwiftPower tag which simplifies things. "New event signup system: each team will now receive a unique sign-on link for each event. Riders will not need to modify their rider tags on ZwiftPower prio…

The excellent interest in the racing means we have more riders than spaces. 13 so far! So in the interest of a CCA collaborative racing spirit we (the Matts) say that each week all riders wishing to take part need to say so by 19:00 Sunday eveni…
-
Thanks Matt. Should we start a fresh post for Season 2?
-
A great season finale. Excellent work all. Graham, bummer on the drop out. 4th for this TTT out of the 8 teams. 4th, 5th and 6th neck and neck through splits 1 to 3 but with a blistering (painful) final quarter we pulled out 30 seconds (wit…
-
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. …
-
Yes please. ID sent in PM.
-
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 ha…
-
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?
-
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).
-
Well done all. I couldn't see anything in pen E. No idea how that was supposed to work.
-
I'll join in pen E and watch if that's OK. Speak in a bit.
-
Last minute disaster. Power cut! Matt S. Do you want to sub?
-
Shall we formulate a plan? Observations for last time. If watts on front went closer or over 400, gaps appeared. Holding around 375 seemed to keep together. Fluctuations of lead watts also caused gaps (perhaps the biggest cause) So…
-
Thanks Matt. Are you sure you don't want to take my place?
-
Count me in, but again, have done all so far, so happy just to witness the pain.
-
Interestingly they have updated the table from above and it does put us now on 82 points.
-
Thanks Matt. For everyone, worth registering and accessing this page if not already. https://www.wtrl.racing/zrl/ZRL-results.php And then filter to our league. Expand the teams to see how the rider points add up. This shows we came third in t…

Two laps of Tick Tock next week. https://zwiftinsider.com/route/tick-tock/

A great race! Chris, you managed a 2nd in the reverse Aqueduct sprint. I managed to sneak a 1st in the forward Aqueduct sprint. So a sprinkling of extra points for the final road race. Back to TTTing next week for the final event of the series.
