I wont be able to race wed, but can set up the following sat (nov 7) meet-up race, compete and stream it
Thanks for getting this in motion @daz, looking forward to it. Basically it’s motivated training so we can experiment and see what works.
Be quite nice to do a Hare and Hounds at some point with a 4w/kg+ train starting after an offset and trying to catch us in the <4 w/kg train. Think that would be highly motivating and also decent TTT practise. But probably just races initially while we get a feel for it.

i’ll see if i can get involved in some of these, i’d really like to as they look good fun, but i’m in the minority and the times are a tad tricky for me.
On it…

Anyone fancy doing anything on Friday afternoon?
Ok invite created for Weds 4th @ 18:30…
I can only send it to those following me (rather than those of you Ive recently added)… so if you want to follow me back I can extend the invite!
As per Daz’s suggestion - went for 20km, on Volcano CCW - tho having raced this alot, it will be different not knowing where the finish line is!!
Any issues let me know!

wish there was an easier way of getting people invited. maybe we could also put a post on the facebook page? blow away the cobwebs
I think once know who’s who and everyone is following it will be easier… but a group (or a CLUB!!) to add to a meet up that other people could join would take away all the pain
Re the starts; I assume as we will have the beacon our messages will go centre screen. So could just do a “Ready” “Set” and give ourselves enough time to type “go” - rather than a countdown of any sort.
or one person decides on the go e.g at km 3 .Would that not work?
if it’s between 11.45 and 13.00 i could be up for a short one.

My only worry with that… the person at the front who hits 3km goes… and the person at the back of the pack is 20 metres back, the least ready and most likely to dropped instantly (unlikely possibly, just don’t want anyone to have a cr@p experience).
I could also do lunch tomorrow… tho not many open cat races (https://www.zwiftpower.com/events.php?zid=1160129 ??)

If that’s him in the picture, he’s either shorter than he looks or that’s the “before” picture from his journey to fitness

Yeh Im thinking might be better just to start when the countdown to start meet-up ends, like a normal race. Saves any issues with flyers, and those too far back.
Or say in advance that race starts at a particular banner. The first we all pass through.
