Miserable ride outside for 90k followed by 25 minutes on Zwift trying to warm up, left toes are still cold and have been since I went out 
Now onto 293k but really want to do some running in the next few days and the weather is getting worse on Monday.

340 of virtual cheating for me. Zero interest in going outside with the constant freezing mist we seem to have had for days.
100km with virtual club tomorrow and should finish Sunday if I can squeeze a race in.

I want to see +10% just in case of a dodgy power meter.
Which Turbo?
71km dank kilometres riding back to home. If this is going to happen. Tomorrow needs to be a big day as I’m missing NYE due to travel. But it’s an uphill struggle tbh, may have to resort to virtual cheating.
Meagre 176/500

I’m on my new Jet-black victory… Which was reporting significantly lower Watts than my previous saris H3.
Will do another dual record tomorrow.

I kind of knew, had read the back story, hence my comment. Just checking you weren’t using the old setup. 
I had a elite trainer that gave me a FTP of 400 watts, I would dig it out but I sent the resistance unit (not the frame) back for a replacement, got a Kickr while waiting and I have never tried the replacement. Maybe I should, even 320w would be a massive win

If I wanted to cheat I can just plug in 2 Ant dongles and set my avatar to ride forever

New account? Are you the person that was banned from leveling up using a bot. 
Ride up the alp on Zwift (on Z pffiwft)… let it decend having lunch or a snack… rinse and repeat.
I might go round the velodrome on TPV and watch youtube etc. for 3 hours.
I chased the 500 outside in the 2010s a few times, can’t remember if I ever did it… but close a few times, one year 12 km off, however it ruined the holiday period. It also made me hate training in January. For me there has never been a good side to it, so I dont even try anymore. Also its fake now.
If it gets people exercising great, not great for us pure obsessives imo.

I’ve done it 3 times at least, been getting memories of doing it in 2014 when a gran fondo was 130k and pre virtual rides.
Last was 2020, don’t think there was much else to do that year

All of that tech stuff is for nerds.
I dont do IT at all.
Anyways … @jeffb you absolute pussy … now my part-time parenting is over (hence the 30min Zwifts) …
I went out at 0503 and did 163km in 6 hours today. Having not rode over an hour since the start of October.
It was pitch black for 3 hours. Then freezing fog and 100% moisture for the remaining 3 hours.
A balmy 2° average.
@Adam - I Felt warmAF in my Rapha thermal polo neck. Have you been wearing yours??

Yep. Base, winter bibs and jacket have been perfect - maybe a touch too warm on Christmas Eve but now it’s colder they’ve been bang on.
I’m just getting dressed for a couple more hours in the grey outside
