Virtual Zwift Rides

I got a text from my BiL so we met up and went to the pub. So I had two nice ales and chatted rubbish.

Same as you @Poet. I’m officially soft!

Was that for 4 or 5 riders? Not sure what happens if someone stops for whatever reason?

Or misses the start :roll_eyes:

Its how many cross the start line - so you were a team of 5 on the results

Anyone on later?
Couple of nice short sprints caught my eye…
18:00 - 2 laps of volcano - 11km
18:30 - 2 laps of rooftop rendezvous - 10km

Looks like most people double up as its the same series.

HAVE YOU LOOKED OUTSIDE :sun_with_face:

It’s like the fookin’ Tour de France on the roads out there.

My arm aches from all the waving.

Not here it aint - pi55ed it down till early afternoon and most roads moist at best!

Wowsers; expert in ranking points with average stats!!

Ha ha ha

They’re all from entering Cat A short hill climb races.

Yeah but thats still a haul. Must always be a decent rank in the field.
Does make a mockery of it all really.

Not really.
It’s a game and he’s gamed the system.

Same thing as I do with those 4.4km A cat races at 1545.

Looking at the results of one of those socks4watts “traditional Brtitsh Hll Climb” - there are loads of As with average power 1-2 W/kg , never seen that in any other race :thinking:

I’m not really talking about gaming the system. More the points calculation.

The races you and Jorgan have done like that have got you some points.
But nothing to this extent.
His top score for rolling in second to last is almost equal to my best ZRL score in a ridiculous competitive B cat league.

I want to race and beat better riders, like the race last weekend.
I look at his rank and it’s s bit embarrassing (should probably wait to beat him before putting that :grimacing:).

Yes it’s a game blah blah. But nice to have some value to the rankings imo

They’re talking about that on the forums as something “to fix”

I’d say there is a tonne of stuff to fix before that

That’s because only the KOM segment counts for the race result; the rest of the ride is warm up and cool down. Hence low average power for the whole activity.

Cheers @r0bh didn’t know they were even a thing.
Done the after party races, but this is obviously different.
