I’ve come to a crossroads. I’ve looked both ways and decided to go in a direction I never thought I would. I’ve suspended my Zwift membership pending cancellation. WTF!!! I have dozens of blog posts and streamed videos of rides and races on Zwift going back a couple of years. Its ironic then that only … Continue reading I’m virtually done
Course: London Classique Reverse Distance: 40km/ Lead in + 6 laps With big guns missing, probably riding the Ventoux on the L’Etape du Tour Stage this morning, I awoke with a hangover (Birthday yesterday!) and found the will to try a race this afternoon. Tired and with legs hungover from a couple of tough interval … Continue reading WTRL Saturday Crit – Round 5
Course: Casse-PattesDistance: 47km/2 Laps I got to ride the new Tour de France roads in Zwift today. Two Laps of the Casse-Pattes course which takes in the outer loop and includes a short climb to the aqueduct and a tougher climb called the Petit KOM. I think about 3000 riders were signed up although the … Continue reading L’Etape du Tour – Stage 2
Course: Tempus Fugit Distance: 2 Laps/37km I’ve done only three Zwift races since the start of March. It was really cold outside today so I decided to do some intensity indoors for a change so I didn’t have to put on all my winter clobber again. I’ve been riding my gravel bike everywhere since lockdown … Continue reading Fast ‘n’ Furious Team CLS Racing S5
Course: Sand And Sequoias Distance: 1 Lap / 23km https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTmtYQeabfU&feature=youtu.be Sometimes, after a Sunday and Monday off and a Tuesday morning ride I can be super strong on a Tuesday night so rather than just do a ride I entered a race tonight. Faffing like normal I left it late to setup, calibrate and do … Continue reading Stage 2 Race – Tour of Watopia 2020
Course: Watopia Flat Distance: 20km (2 Laps) Today was my last ride in the UK for a while. No bike to commute on as its boxed ready for my flight to Fuerteventura tomorrow to ride some GRAVEL! A quick Zwift race was on the cards to tie me over so I picked a hard one, … Continue reading Stage 1 Race – Tour of Watopia 2020
Course: Tick Tock Distance: 1 Lap -19km Two races in two days, a bit brutal and even more so being 1 lappers. I was going to ride an earlier race up the Alpe but I couldn’t find my HR strap so I jumped in this one instead. It was quite a big field in the … Continue reading 3R Tick Tock Flat Race
If you want to stream your Zwift races, some may be daunted by the tech when in reality if you’re ok using a PC, its not that difficult. Streaming yourself on a webcam is not obligatory either. Its a personal choice. I do, so I’ll include how to do that too. First up. There are … Continue reading How I stream my Zwift races *UPDATED*
Course: Watopia Flat Distance: 10.4km (1 Lap) These 1 lappers are a tough gig. I did a few of these last year because I was suffering in longer races at the weekend due to fatigue from commuting. Today’s excuse was it was just me and the lad all day so we had some boy time … Continue reading CRYO-GEN Saturday Sprint Series
Course: Tick Tock Distance: 2 laps + lead-in, 35km No commute today as heavy rain was forecast for the ride home and bang on home time it didn’t start. Nada. Nothing. Pissed off with myself I rushed home to start the 6pm SZR Spring Race series on Tick Tock. First race with my new Tron … Continue reading SZR Spring Race Series
