20 min 336 is no joke for 161. 4/5w/kg threshold! Jamal is a monster.
My goal this year is 4 and the only way I'm getting there is by dropping weight.

A couple of new invites, everyone has been added to the TGR Club.
You should see the event on the Companion App, or the top right of your Zwift Home Screen where all the other events are.
Thanks everybody! That was fun...but it appears I got some work to do! :)
Missed it due to some things coming up, will try for next week!

With no takers on almost every Thursday night ride, I will try a new time.
THURSDAY 6:00 PM MOUNTAIN (not 6:00pm Eastern. like in the past)
Let's see if this works.
Event is already in our TGR Club Section.
Haha I forgot FT = EWG… definitely stuck w long sock crew tonight.

Thanks Dee. Long call and technology problems put me there late. Should be able to make Thursday.

Well that’s not supposed to be possible.
Good ride tonight, 5 riders with one new comer.
I think Thursdays 6:00 Mountain might work out for a regular time.
We were nice and stayed together.

I didn't see results when I crossed the finish line, I try to fix that for next weeks rides.
I won't be there Tuesday, I have to work in Steamboat, but I'll be back for a Thursday 6:00pm Mountain.
Think I need to recalibrate? I was doing ~200 watts(using cyclops trainer as power) constantly just to try to keep up. I’m not that out of shape, I don’t think.Quote:

Recalibrate the trainer and do an FTP test, the ramp test is good if you don't know what you should be targeting for a 20 minute test.Quote:

I was on at 8EST, but didn’t see it as an “upcoming event.”. What’d I do wrong?

Definitely calibrate your trainer. And tire pressure if it's a wheel on. FTP test... ehhh. I've never actually done one. I just let zwift and intervals guess at what it is. Seems close enough. But on the other hand I like to do hard 20min efforts which is kind of the same thing. It's nice to know your LTHR and get your zones set up properly as well.
Last thurs night rando race was tonight. Getting better at that, at the top of the first lap I was wondering how I was so close to the front. And I'm still riding that green fatigue line in intervals. But it was a partners race and mine was having issues on the skin track. Kind of weird, he's beaten me every time before this.
Local zwift series starts next week, so that should be fun.
At least for me it does not show up in the zwift events calendar. I have to go to profile --> clubs --> club events to add/joinQuote:

I’ll do it this afternoon.
I think I can also share the link to the event so you can click attending, and it will easily pop up when you log into Zwift.
Tuesdays ride is posted. It’s called TGR Tuesday Ride
I can find it 2 ways:
In the normal events section, in both Companion App, or Zwift Menu screen , as long as you’ve joined the TGR Club, you will see it within the rest of the events:

Also on Companion App, on the bottom menu is Clubs, TGR Club, you can see Club Events.
Attachment 405490
Also here is the direct link for the event:
https://www.zwift.com/events/view/2781923
It won’t let me set up Thursdays event yet, not sure if it’s too many days out, or if I can’t make 2 events within a certain amount of time.
I’ll update here once it’s set up.
Let me know if anyone is still having trouble finding the event/joining.
Yeah…I don’t have “clubs.” Google search says something about an issue for new users. Until it’s solved, some new users have to be invited by host.
“Q: Why don’t I have the Clubs tab on my Zwift Companion App?
A: The Clubs tab along the bottom of the Zwift Companion app will populate once you meet the requirements to create a club, are invited to a club, or belong to a club. Please see the requirements section above.”
Apparently, I need to get to Level 20 dungeon master.

SORRY! You were never invited to the TGR Club, I had you check off on my spreadsheet, but when I crossed referenced your name in the club, you weren't initially invited.Quote:

Sorry again.
Oh man! First I win some high socks…then I get hazed in to a biker gang…all in two days!!! Everything’s coming up roses!
(Thanks Dee)

I refuse to believe Dee made a spreadsheet error and choose to believe that the North Koreans or Chinese hacked Zwift and deleted your invite. Seems far more likely
100% agree.Quote:

Good turnout, but I thought Dee would be there on a fresh tron bike?

9 riders tonight. I have a screen shot. Maybe I’ll post it if I get around to editing out the names.
Also, was a spicy one tonight.

So this happened 9 minutes in:
Daughter: Dad...Sandr said he has to use the bathroom. (Aleksandr is 4).
Me: Ok.
Daughter: He has to pee.
Me: OK.
Daughter: So I tried to help him...but he's just standing there...peeing on the floor.
Me: wait....whaaaaaaaaa?????!?!?!!??!
30min, one clean bathroom floor, and one clean kid later, I joined another "race" where I ended up 72 out of 84...it was BRUTAL...the entire night = BRUTAL. (but, in hindsight, kinda funny (if you aren't me)).
It felt hard. I'm coming off a covid holiday and even using that excuse wasn't enough. Elastic snapped before final climb but I limped it home. Well done all!

-Wendigo with the power display
-J.R. = Patarero who chased wendigo
-Dee Hubbs

The one time I actually made a ride I was the only person. Hopefully I can make another one after ZRL is over in 2 weeks.
That was hilarious, thanks for sharing.Quote:

Finally unlocked the mythical Tron Bike. 50,000 Meters of climbing! (Actually 56,000+ because I didn't set my challenge to Everest when I joined Zwift)
Attachment 406893
I think i'll just show up tomorrow night to show off my new bike, and slowly disappear out the back because my legs are cooked.
Saturday morning I saw that I needed only 3,400 meters more to complete the Everest Challenge, so I did an Alpe du Zwift that morning, and again on Sunday I did another Alpe du Zwift, and today I did a Ven Top until I unlocked the bike.
Nice work!!! What’s that elevation in freedom units?Quote:
