Nice. I have the original and am very happy with it.
There’s a £25 off voucher that was working last week if you signup with a new email address

Hovering over the buy button. Need FD signoff.

Or is it easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission?

See the ‘boast about your purchases’ thread

Just had a wiggle notification through for a Tacx Flux S back in stock - 3 minutes from email being sent to being on site and already sold out!

Coming tomorrow hopefully. £25 discount also

Quick question for those in the know…

To ride with a friend, is still the only way for one of you to start riding and then the other do ‘ride with…’, or can you create a group ride now if there are a couple of you?

Also, doing the above, can those on <L6 still go up the Alpe if they are ‘riding with…’ somebody who is on a higher level (6+) who does one of the routes up the Alpe? Does that change if not on a pre-selected route and the person being followed just manually guides them self to the climb?

On organised group rides you can ride the Alpe if the person arranging it can access it. Our tri coach has been doing that. You can also access worlds that are closed. This Thrusday we are on the London loop for Box Hill but its not available for the general public.

Ride with a friend I am not sure.

I dont know what level you need to be to create group rides

Definitely the latter

You can just create a 2 person “meetup”. And then as said above, I think if the organiser is the required level, then everyone can do it. I know Chasers have done meetups going into the Jungle, which has a level restriction, and I’ve not seen anyone say they got booted out for being a newbie to zwift

Wow Sigma Sports are on fire. Ordered at 15:20, dispatched already, arriving tomorrow.

I did the Bologna TT today as part of a double header that a cycling club in Vietnam are organising. My legs were heavy from too many consecutive hard sessions so I fell flat and finished about a minute off my PB. But… look at the winner:

And then my mediocre effort:

I take those kind of times with a grain or two of salt.

Totally legit

He’s wearing a HRM, so must be valid :eyes:

I saw this on eBay

I wonder if Pro cycling has its own “MoneyBall” data analyst’s that will be signing up these unknown talents that can do 8w kg? A breathe of fresh air; the Grand Tours have been getting stale
TdF will be very spicy next year if so…impossible for Ineos to hold tempo with these new guys just riding away from everyone

An interesting one this evening. British Cycling South East race, cat B.

The “winner” has sensible power number (w/kg and raw power), yet somehow has best the field by 4 minutes (the front pack was all in a bunch per results) and even beat the cat A’s time on the same course (they started a minute ahead) by 2mins.

I “get” cheating by ant+ broadcasting power, or screwing with your weight and height, in that I understand how it’s done. I can’t fathom what’s going on with this, given zwift is just meant to convert power and weight numbers into a virtual speed?
