Day off (zwift) for me today, just nipping out for an easy 45 min run instead.
Keen on another lunchtime hiding tomorrow though.
You all keep riding on my office days 
I could TTT later - but have we missed the deadline to enter a team for tonight though?
I register every week incase anyone wants in. So, “no” we haven’t

Not wanting to derail the thread - despite our place shutting down before Christmas - we are back to our usual “everyone back in - we dont function properly when you WFH” - even tho, most do.
However, still trying to play the long game and get permanent hybrid working. So I’d rather do 3/2 now - and hope that shows some flexibility from them going forward that we aren’t kicking up a fuss now.
FruitThief is a proper cat A and everyones picking races he can get in as a B - Im a real victim here !!!

What do you do work wise? Post it in the Lounge rant.
Hmm, I was going to running training but having a change of mind. Might have been tempted to race but the course is hilly so I’m going to be straight out of the back for a solo TT home.
Also depends on whether the wattbike man sorts it, he’s here now.
Could be tempted if anyone else is though (and you wait for me 
)

You could bung him a few used tenners to “re-calibrate” it slightly too

He probably needs an IT person for that 
I’m one of the few non IT bods here. But something like <power x 1.15 = watts> should do it

@fruit_thief is a CatA as described by the Zwift system. However, due to his low weight and lack of sprint, he’s not going to stand a chance in the A’s. He could, however, hold off some chasing folks with his 5m power in the autocat B.
I think it was the TriTalk-TTT than initially pushed him into A, wasn’t it?
If it was done similar to the UK cat system, you’d be in A by now

So you are both saying I’m crap then and need some kind of assistance!

It helps being a lardarse for me!
Anyway, Wattbike is fixed apparently, part of the air brake had come off the mounts and was rubbing, losing at least 40w I think 
He’s glued it on and need to see how it goes, as it’s the original model they don’t keep spares but I could possibly get one second hand.

Yeah - @mw22 should be an A with those race results / ZPoints 
Look at his NEMESIS’ - one Lee Rankin, former duathlete and super handy on a bike 
(It’s the same one, checked out on Strava 
)

I have to work my @rse off on the flat tho. The TTTs of late I’ve just been last wheel sitting in FruitThiefs draft!
I have learnt to race, I do know the courses and pinch points quite well and I seem to be able to suffer to hold a wheel. Doesn’t always work and then I just have a mardy and quit out.

Any other cannon fodder for @fruit_thief to destroy tonight? I’ll have a bash if there’s enough interest, depends on time of course.
@Jgav ?
@gingerbongo could man up and have a double day if he wants the gainz for the 113

Your 1m power is decent, so you’re attacking in the wrong places
Looks like you could force a break and hold off for a minute (76% of the time?)
Maybe start looking at events and who’s signed up at what their 1m power is?
So you know when/where to go?
You probably need to go from 800m out at your 1m power, but make sure nobody is on your wheel (that burrito power up?)
