Virtual Zwift Rides

I’m up to almost 12wkg on sprint now.
Biggest improvements I’ve made are by staying seated and cranking the cadence.
That la Guardia race last week, I was over 130rpm peaking at 140!

Yet I’ve lost all FTP ability now :rofl:

Don’t think I’ll ever get it. I don’t seem to possess the natural fast twitch muscles to get up there. And I’m certainly not going to train myself for it

I think my crappy turbo would snap in half even if I could generate those Watts! :joy:

Well, now I know why I only came 18th in B Cat on Thursday :sweat_smile: Only got dropped in the last Km on Paris Crit mind you.

Hope to be back in the garage by Monday or Tuesday for some steady Zwifting though. Any recommendations for group rides/events?

Just destroyed myself chasing the wifes Innsbruck KOM time.
Target 20:06, actual 20:04.

30 secs up till I start hitting the flatter sections near the top then I just bleed time.

Really don’t understand why I’m quite so incapable on the flat (welcome suggestions)!!

Drafting? Going uphill should surely favour the more petite rider, so how to put this… Are you really skinny?

I was top 100 but going backwards. Need to find a group that’s happy to spin over at 200 watts

229 now

equipment and draft as others have said, it’s a shit game that just penalises people through equipment.

Found a group. Working harder than I want though. The first sign of a hill will blow this peloton to shit though

Nah…this is more me and my ability (or inability) to produce power on flat.
Road goes up I’m cranking out 300w plus and trying to back off.
Road flattens out and no matter what kind gearing I use, I’m down around 220w and it’s a real effort.

I’m the same IRL… Hence crap TT times :grimacing:
