Taxc app lets you ride any route you have

Surely you don’t need more spokes Martin

Cant make this , always do a training session during the day on Tuesday and have a Spanish lesson from 1800/2030 enjoy

I know but I can’t get any

I have better number crunching software that I use from semi nerd Training Peaks Premium to full colour nerd WK05 software, so I have scatter graphs in colour , every bar graph you can think off . I can track power, power at threshold power at V02 max , HR at threshold HR at V02 max power at 150bpm , Time to Exhaustion, fatigue resistance , muscle fibre type VO2 max left and right power analysts left and right power absorbed. And phenotype plus can analyse against segments so do I need to pay for Strava for my dose of nerdisum no not reallly , always found it more of a social inclusion thing

Was looking for an easy ride tonight , that was fun but not easy can’t do tomorrow as my legs are done 17 days in a row need an easy day , plus still got to climb some mountains to get the tron bike

I have set up a Discord chat thing for tonight if anybody wants to join download the app and put up your user name and I will add you But remember I am not a tech person

When people give you Ride ons and thumbs up are you supposed to return these ? I ask because frequently I Zwift without glasses or contacts so can’t actually read the screen to see . Secondly what’s your thoughts on eating , I never eat on the bike unless it’s going to be more than two hours and hard, however I have done some long turbos on Zwift and other apps I am thinking maybe a snack would help what are others doing, I know what your supposed to do just curious what the experienced Zwifters are doing

Should have said Dates Friday 26th Feb through to Friday 5 March Fairly Cheap Prices Just now approx £90 Return

Hi guys after this years Spain camp was thinking of doing the same , and trying to get a decent sized bunch out again. I think it worked really well and everybody got what they wanted from it, the bonus of having Richie as the guide helps , so who’s in for next year

Road feel is a Taxc Turbo thing it makes a difference as you feel the gravel , and the boards and have to put out more power to keep the same speed as you would do in the real world re turbo resistance always has it at 100 so don’t know if it makes a difference, and don’t know it’s just a Taxc thing

Also switch off road feel , it slows you down

Alan sort of saw you was on the same bit of road but thought we were carrying on for a bit after so ended up doing 28 miles hoping for the end of the route

Alan went up to the top of the hill got fairly steep about 14% did go left after the KOM before that .

Thought we were carrying on after 50 minutes, it appeared to me that after the first part of the climb most stopped didn’t see any one on the way up to the tower and then for another 10 miles stopped after 28 miles . Did enjoy it though , but still a couple of patches of very sticky road especially on the downhills, just as well I bought a fan only lost 1.75 kilos tonight in sweat

Sorry I missed this one did a session this morning and was knackered

Don’t about yous I hit a higher HR for that ride than I do in a GT or WF TT, it was so sticky I was sitting at 290 watts and going backwards, totally spent and in need of a drink , Gin is hypertonic isn’t it

Yes sort of fun felt ok up to halfway and the hour but was melting , need to also get a fan , been a hard week inside on the climbs

Would it not be better post lockdown to go outside and race to support your local race organiser , as Zwift is fun but it’s not racing

When’s the next one

I suppose sub maximum is up to Threshold so you can still work fairly hard if you need that , I have emailed BC to get some clarity

Yet BC have put on a series of races on Zwift, there is also other research that suggest something different . It would be nice to actually get some clarity from the governing body, because just now it looks like is ok to race and dig deep if your joe public , but not if your SC Performance Program

Daryl You should try Taxc Premium free 30 day trial it has all the real films of most of the iconic climbs and routes , it’s better than looking at an avatar plus you can ride any GPS route so you can replicate the bogs without leaving the house RGT are a new training platform very similar to Zwift they are offering free access during these isolating times

Since i have a bit more free time than planned I thought I would offer my congratulations to Coach Mul on winning the Scottish Cycling coach of the year , although I could never agree with Mul when I was a member , you have to give praise where it is due So👏👏👏👏👏👏well done Mul well deserved

Weather a bit cloudy here
