Virtual Zwift Rides

Due to big storms forecast tomorrow evening I am free for Team Time Trial. Anyone else want to take part. We would need to get a team together today

Appologies for the late notice. Thursday is my busiest evening with a cycling club TT (outdoors) and Triclub OW swim session.

Me

That enabled me to find your profile. Our best IRL club rider is a BRT team member. He was in the Prem league TTT team for you guys a few weeks ago, and often represents in some of the invitational events.

That’s a new thing according to the latest update. They made reference to it in the last zwiftcast. Havent tried it yet though.

Yeah, we do the same. And also have a “pseudo club kit” given we don’t actually have a proper club kit available in game. Definitely makes racing easier, spotting your teammates (mainly for added motivation not to quit!)

I have registered a team for the 6pm UK time race tomorrow. Link below should take you to entry screen.

Choose Category C (Espresso). I chose this category as I am not sure how many A riders we have

Change your Zwift name to include the Suffix (TriTalk), so my name on Zwift is Matthew Spooner ZZP (TriTalk) The Brackets must be included

I will setup a discord channel and send a link when we have a team

I’ve changed my name in ZwiftPower, do I need to change my name in the Zwift app too?

I’ve signed up to Espresso, if we only get 4 then we should move to cat B (I’m a B cat rider)

I just read the rules again, it only mentions ZwiftPower, so I guess that is enough

Yeah, you only need it on zwift power. The WTRL site pulls in from there. Just make sure you only have round brackets for your WTRL team name, and no spaces. If you have another tag in round brackets, that will screw up the automated results.

As Matt is A+ I think, with him in the team you’ll be espresso regardless.

Entered & added (TriTalk) to ZP name. Complete newbie to this so just tell me what to do :slight_smile:

I have a crit race at 8pm.
Can I do both… :thinking:

(if you get to 6 or 7, I’ll happily jump in to do at least a couple of turns and then let the rest of you crack on. If you’re only at 4, then there’s no point in me tipping you over to 5, meaning 4 finishers are required)

Can the crit, 45 min at FTP with us will be great training!

I think that the rest of us are new to this, at least you have some experience

I would suggest you setup a discord channel to voice chat. It helps during the race, but is most valuable at the start to time the departure correctly, and get everyone initially grouped up as you can spread all over the starting pen.

I can easily set one up if you like and share the link. It’s all free

we did a meet-up race last weekend. BRT v Relentless. As far as Iknow there is no race result leaderboard feature on meet-up, so be interested to know where you did/heard this? Everyone gets a distance and time at end of meet up but thats it. You can race to a time, distance BUT if theres a bunch finish, its hard to determine positions with accuracy of zwift power.
We used banner splits (volcano circuit). snapshot after all through (i streamed/recorded event too). pts based on split positions. the fun was seeing some try to drop back at beginning of circuit/start banner thinking they could catch the group. only one did (hywel davies) but he had no sprint.

whos the BRT who’s one of your best IRL?

Christian Moxon? Yeh he raced in our BRT v Relentless mini-race on meet-up this weekend. you can see it on my youtube/dazcarter73.

very close race

It was apparently part of last weeks update. Referenced in here: Zwiftcast Episode 86: Game Updates, the Massive Success of Team TT and All the Zwifty Chat | Zwift Insider
EDIT - GPLama is the one who said it at 4:55

Yes but zwiftcast have also said its “indefinitely delayed”. not in the recent update (that includes steamroller PU). Sounds like another offer, that requires too much effort and bug potential once they try and get it working

Weird then. GPLama definitely talked about it as an active feature … private roads (which came in the update before), and now private chat and results. The chat is definitely the case, but maybe he was wrong on results.

yeh private chat and world view is there, from recent updates. youre right he did mention it, but zwiftcast facebook in last two days commented that results feature isnt in. we did the meet-up race sun and i know (as i set it up) there were no extra features…apart from the private view and chat. I wish they would! it would be a game changer. means mates and teams could have some smackdowns :slight_smile:

Fair enough. I hadn’t done a proper meetup where I’d paid much attention since he update to check how/if it was working.
