Zwift, TR, Sufferfest etc

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.

[Dee Hubbs]

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.

[smartyiak]

Thanks everybody! That was fun...but it appears I got some work to do!

[Phall]

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.

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

Y’all are strong. I need to redo my FTP but dang. Lots of time above threshold tonight

Well that’s not supposed to be possible.

[Dee Hubbs]

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.

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.

Will do that next week. I just plugged it in after the summer off. Last ftp was over a year ago

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/join

[Dee Hubbs]

I haven’t made Tuesdays and Thursdays yet.
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.

[Dee Hubbs]

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.




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.

[smartyiak]

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.
You should see the invite, and all the goodness now.
Sorry again.

[smartyiak]

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.

Except it also could have been the Russians.

[Phall]

Came here to say it was the ROC, but minors so it would just be a slap on the wrist

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