Same as the Evo but more expensive apparently.
I bought the cervelo. I do workouts on the tt bike.
At the end of the day it makes little to no difference to me. Its just something else to aim/play for.
Yeah theres little difference across the board. Climbing TT if you do Bologna course.
I still use Tron on Bologna TT.
Use same bike for everything Cervelo S5 I think, don’t know what wheels but I can’t be bothered to change them but maybe that’s why I get my ass kicked!
Okay I’ve got the Evo with Enve 3.4 for climbing now
I’m holding off until level 18 for the shiv disc for TTs with the 808s
Ive also created a Route Hit List colour coded for the length of workouts I reckon they’ll take to cover;
Blue up to half an hour, green under an hour, orange under 2hrs, red - more.
We all love conference calls right?
Did a chase group. Wanted time in position on TT so went in the easier C/D group.
300w start and actually struggling to hang on. TT position out the window and hung on.
Never once went on front.
After party on Libby Hill… wound it up to 500w and rode off the bunch.
Won by 2 secs and instant DQ
Thanks for the advice all. Did a shorter race tonight, two laps of the Champs, and made the front pack. As has been said it settles down after a couple of miles. Still rode too hard though as whenever I ease up a touch when I’m towards the front of the bunch I seem to slide all the way to the back. Messed up the sprint obvs and came 15/20 ish in the front pack. Set a new FTP and got DQed in Zwiftpower
I did the 20K Glasgow TT tonight, been a long day & week and wasn’t feeling the love much but persevered. Power was well down compared to Tuesday, although I’ve now got the Propel on the Kickr now and used the Giant PowerPro for power.
Finished 10th out of about 30.
I did the SZR chase event; got dropped like a turd from the A group inside 3km. Yet in 39th I still got an 8pt ranking improvement!
Would echo this. It’s a great series. Next round starts on 6th April I think?
Really enjoyed the ZRL variety the different courses offered and the team aspect of racing.
Helped a good friend run our local cycling clubs entry. Initially thought we may get enough for 1 team and ended up with 5 teams (1 A, 2 B, 2 C). Lockdown and lack of real life races/rides brought quite a few people in locally and several called in a mate. Highlight was when one of our young ex riders who’s now with a pro conti team came back and rode a few races.
Leagues felt reasonably fair in terms of abilities. The ways points for primes were awarded made the races a lot more tactical and stopped them being the usual ftp type effort with a push at the end.
Shiv Disc is best TT until L37 so get that.
Right so wait til level 18.
I have 53100XP, and I’ve ridden 2003km/69h45m to get to 18 I need more 2900XP.
So call it 53000/2000 so 26.5XP per km. 2900/26.5 and 110km is all I need?
Or 53000/67hrs is 791XP per hour, or 3h40m.
Hmm, I’ll hook up Zwift when I’m training in TR then and should be there end of next week.
I’d keep the short ones in the bag for a bit and not try and do 2 or 3 in one go that might take an hour, do a 1 hour route instead.
Then if you are pushed for time or want an easy option do a short one then.
Whole lotta Lava completed, 600 XP
EVO 160 km cat C ride…feeling good through 80 miles and Spotify tunes needed changing, somehow I got myself logged off (run both through ATV) logged back in and Zwift allowed me to carry on (mileage and route) but not in the group ride. So rolled round to complete the mileage.
Recovery food Mrs Hen’s banana bread with chocolate chips oh yes mug of tea.
Very happy
Anyone that enjoys it short and hard might want to check out this series.
Aero Army Wyn TT Series
Looks like we’ve missed the first one but the next one is Monday or Tuesday. Might have a bash at the 7:30 one, 6K all out, should be over in about 8 minutes?
Weekly thereafter for about 5 weeks with the longest being 10K
This will properly hurt!
Jeez
Noticed earlier that I’ve finally been downgraded to Cat B (Almost A) after my racing hiatus and my last decent score will probably go soon as well.
Started the 6* Volcano race tonight but it was obvious in the first K it wasn’t happening, so bailed and did a steady ride on Fugit.
