Windsor Wool 30 Sep 1:11pm, 30 Sep 2024 6,481 posts	0 Windsor Wool Thanks for sharing that Oranj. I’m just about to get back on to Zwift for the winter and that’s helped me. Cheers. Looking forward to getting back on the trainer tbh. I just don’t enjoy riding irl.

Oranj 8 Oct 11:00am, 8 Oct 2024 4,343 posts	0 Oranj Now that the racing score system seems to be more prevalent, I'm back in the same situation I was under the 'old' W/kg categories when I was bouncing between C and B. I can race hard in D and get myself into C races but don't have the kick of younger riders so I'm dropped as soon as we hit the first KOM of the race and I have to TT to the finish. A couple of races like that and I'm back down in D again
Chrisull 8 Oct 11:37am, 8 Oct 2024 22,227 posts	0 Chrisull I think racing is always tough. I was a C on the edge of cat B at best (and deliberately not doing the third race in a row of cat B stats to get to cat B - although I can't get there even if I try), but even in races in cat C when I was verging on cat B, I was nowhere near the top. A lot of the people seem to be putting out huge watts at the finish that I could never compete with (and I'm not without a last minute kick, in midtable tussles I could usually expect to come through against most), also they'd dial up in the last kilo or two so I'd never even get to sprint. On climbs I could stay with the short stuff but not the longer stuff. I haven't been back since the price rise to 17.99, I stick with MyWhoosh and don't race there, although I might if I can get back some form.

Gobi 27 Oct 5:25pm, 27 Oct 2024 81,756 posts	0 Gobi It's nice when you see power reflected in the real world. Best 5min power of 2024 today to finish not last in the National Hill Climb.

MudMeanderer 27 Oct 7:25pm, 27 Oct 2024 2,669 posts	0 MudMeanderer Good stuff. One of our clubmates won the v70 category. He sometimes makes you think you can hang on, but you realise when he posts results that it's probably just an illusion!
