Yeah sorry about losing you DH, I stuck around the Meetup for a couple minutes after you left thinking I’d see a new invite or see your activity pop up on your profile, but never did. I was a little short on time anyway so I just jumped on the TdZ ride to get some extra XP.
Looking forward to Tuesday.
Tuesdays are my day for these. We have a thrus night skimo series going. It's been fun, although I'm new and kind of suck.
You kinda suck? Now you know how we feel on Zwift when you pull away from us at 6.5 w/kg and 72bpm, when we are trying to keep 4.0w at 180bpm. [emoji6]Quote:

Lots of fun chatter about sock length, tools, nick names, and Jamal dropped a chain and chased back from 0:37 seconds to dust us all in the end.
See ya next week.
Dropped chain 3 times in the tdz ride. Which was going well until that happened. Made the front group up the climb and there were only 12 of us after the first lap. Guess a non 1x chainring needs a guide of some sort to keep a chain in place.
Also Catherine Pendrel was in there which was pretty cool.
Anyone notice the newish menu option to turn off the HUD? did a ride with coco last night with no display, kind of different, especially in first person view.

Also means Dee doesn't have to go and cross out all our names. Actually I think it's an option to turn off the hud when saving screenshots too.
Ya,I could do that.Quote:

I don’t think the shoots look good without the data:

Unless it’s from the front, or a scenic shot.

Sweet! I'm been wanting to turn off the HUD for a long time. That's awesome. Looking forward to trying that.Quote:

See, my graph goes in the red too.
Hey Dee. You need to purge the inbox. Just want to tell you the cassette made it and it's perfect. Thanks.
Thanks. 1000 more parts go. Come spring when everyone need something I’ll do a big parts dump.
Dang Jamal...
I'll be out for a bit. Caught a bad cold, tested negative for the big show.
Jesus, those power numbers...
I can attest that as a slow guy - Dee & Co. are way too nice and wait up plenty.
Most important: make sure you understand your position on sock length going into the ride, as no one likes a fence-sitter.
Thursday 6:00pm Eastern Time rides are not working.
Since the New Year there has only been 1 or 2 riders show up.
Tuesdays 6:00pm Mountain Time are great with 7-10 riders every week.
Is there a better time or a better day we can try to arrange an Eastern Time ride? Pushing it later so Mountain time guys would join? another day of the week? Just trying to see if it something else might work?
Even if it was only two of us, Falcon and I had a good 2 lap battle last night. 30 minutes and done.

This. And if you want to have some actual style, I'm happy to lend you scissors to cut your socks down.Quote:

I think I made almost all of them last winter, and only 1 so far this season.
6pm MST on Thursday’s has the potential to work better on my end
You watch your mouth!Quote:

I got a Kickr today. Without having to search too much, can I join you guys sometimes? If so, what page do I go to for info on the group?
Follow Dee Hubbs TGR on Zwift, that way I can invite you to all our group rides.Quote:

Ask any questions here, you dont need to dig through 100 pages for info.
I'd be 100% in for 8 PM EST on Thursdays. 7 PM will be dependent on other schedules as that's bedtime hour for kiddos.
Zwift opened up clubs again, if we started a tgr one I think you can do rides without having to specifically invite everyone, although I haven't looked really close at how that all works.
Doing tdz stage 6 regular ride at 7 mst if anyone else wants to jump in.
I’ll figure out the clubs thing.
Make a TGR club, and then I think we can just post the links to the rides.
How long til we can get TGR jerseys
Once we all have matching tall socks [emoji6]Quote:

I am a technology idiot. I have started doing some training on ifit, and am linking it with strava. On a couple of rides it pulls over my milage and elevation, but on most it just pulls over time and calories and the fact that I did one of their rides. Ultimately, all I care about syncing is the distance and times so I can chart that towards a goal I have set for myself with a mountain bike century in a few months. Any Ideas how to address this sort of thing?
I feel aggressed.Quote:
