Virtual Zwift Rides

Like I say every damn week, I’m going out IRL.
I’m currently sat here in my running kit, which I have been since 11am.

Bloomin’ work :sob:

Fearing for my life tonight, anybody want to share my suffering?

I’m going to get savaged at the hands of tupperware and FT :nauseated_face:

Well, I can think other threesomes I’d prefer to get hot, sweaty and out of breath with, but you’ll both have to do tonight :rofl:

God that was never-ending!

Anyone else interested next week, once Nick & Chris had slowed down to my pace we made up a bit of ground. It will be my last race next week for about 4 weeks with being away, be good to have a big team. Probably be double bloody Bologna though :nauseated_face:

It’s also 13-14° again next week and the last of the Tatton loop, before the clocks go forward and we head for the hills on an evening :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Y’all need to get out more (although I’m doing Titan’s Grove at some point today)

I was out this morning - it started off sunny; then got foggy; then sunny; then foggy; then some sun through the fog - then visibility dropped to about 50metres and I was more than a little uncomfortable on the road :frowning:

Zwift just doesnt have the stress.

Not sure I would have agreed with you at 7.45 last night :face_vomiting:

(But I do really)

Also… Cold.

Being a soft southerner I don’t like riding outside if it’s less than 20C, preferably 25C.

Riding outside is for July triathlon bike legs only😀

‘Kin ‘ell La :roll_eyes:

I remember doing the Long Eaton Reliability OLD SKOOL A52 version in the snow.
40kmh down the A52 from Spondon to Ashbourne.
(I then actually went backwards going up the Fenny Bentley hill :rofl::see_no_evil:)

No Coco Cadence existed back then.
Just a black dot on the wall in front of the rollers.

I’d just like to take this opportunity to say…

YOUR ALL GAY

Yeah, now we’ve got rid of the weak links from the team we’ve pushed on and just smash the competition out of sight :muscle::joy: right @fruit_thief and @Tupperware

In reality I’m a passenger and just try and hang on to both of them :nauseated_face:

Also, if any you go on Zwift this weekend, you need to see a therapist. Seriously.

It’s absolutely perfect weather all weekend.

JeffB has nearly car free roads proper close to him (thinking Great Ayton, Helmsley, Westerdale, Castleton, Stokesley)

mw22 literally has no excuse. I’d say a ride out to Cafe Ventoux, but that’s closed until July 2022 as it’s so damn good! So a quickie over the shooting range/M1/A50 side road, popping out at Kegworth, Long Wharton, Bradgate Park, Mountsorrel, Rothley, cafe at Quorn (Stonehurst Farm), then East Leake, Bunny and your normal commute back :+1:t3:

The rest of ya can think of yer own rides.

@r0bh - I’m gonna lock this thread until it rains again :wink::rofl:

Those roads will be full of nobheads doing 70 on twisty roads heading to Whitby and other beauty spots.

They are ignorant to other road users until they hit one :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
