Oh, Joe said it was ok this week. The replay is okay.

I tried 2 different devices. Phone and laptop.

Juddery at best

Upped the frame rate for a KISS at 8pm see if that works

Seems a lot better

Just about managed not to get dropped Not much left for the sprint though.

You seemed to back off right at the vital moment with 300m to go.

Looked a crazy crazy hard effort though.

I knew I didn’t have the whole length of the bridge left so hoped to surf wheels.

That savage attack on the volcano each lap got very annoying It was slightly better from off the front so I could sag-climb it but not much.

9th in both races.

I'm debating racing or cruising today.

Crust has informed me that the Gent Wevelgem ride we've had planned since pre-covid is now happening at the end of March next year, so really i need to get 'training' for longer rides rather than sprint races. But i do like a little bit of Zwift racing so it's tempting. I've still got a few knee issues but i need to just accept them as they're not going away, so just ride around it.

If i race, the 4pm Tick Tock flat race looks a candidate. Mostly because the layout flatters me and with ABCD all being out together, if i can make a decent break i can surf some wheels and get dragged along.

But the odds are i'll do a 60-90 mins gentle sort of one. I've got Afan on Sunday and BPW on Monday, so really should be saving a few legs.

Fun couple of fast, flat Crits this evening. Loads of attacks on the kickers and a few breaks, counter attacks etc. really engaging and fun!

[Crosshair]

Fun race this evening! The Zwift drafting feels sooo realistic now in double draft races (double draft = real life draft).
Went early on a long one v the A’s…. Did it work

[weeksy]

LOL the last 500m it just goes insance doesn't it...

309average over an hour is hard to knock mate. If only you were 55kg

[Crosshair]

Yes it’s mental. Got a new ftp just now. 332w!

Managed to hold the lead group for 35mins for a 5th in B.



Need to recover for KISS at 8

[Crosshair]

Doh! Was doing ok on the final lap of KISS but have toasted another KICKR. Not bad after 6 years I suppose (paid for one but have had 3 units ).

My Wahoo Kickr arrived yesterday, so I’ll be able to join you guys at some point. Just need some time to collect my bike, and set it up then learn how to use it

Start off with one foot at the top, one at the bottom.

Rotate them forwards many many times continually until you die
