damn it yang...couldn't find u so figured i botched it again...logged off and on looking for u...bastard

probably gonna get on the kickr in like 15-30 minutes yacks

Wrapped up vo2max test tonight so not sure if I'll be on for tomorrow morning to do the ftp test.

Yackeedoodledandy, if you don't see me, don't worry you didn't botch the group ride!  Stay calm and reinsert the AOL floppy disc and wait for your modem to connect back to the World Wide Web. 

I'm just hopping back on after a week long break trying to kick the sickness. The ride started out pretty decent with a nice bunch of 10 or so keeping together for the first lap and a half. It started to break up when the Ottawa Beers and Bike ride started right in front of us and I was done anyway. Spun around for another half lap and climbed off. 

suck it yang

That's the saddest VR world ever.

I looking to be on later tonight for FTP testing though it depends on if baby goes to sleep at a reasonable hour.

Nice session today.  Thanks, David, for a solid pace.  It was nice to cat and mouse while we each did our hard efforts and then settled back into endurance.  

Been training solo in my pain cave trying to get enough form to join you all

Good times. Had been busy all week and couldn't ride so had super fresh legs. Wish I had a little more warm up, but those vo2 intervals helped.  

Sorry that I could not join this morning, there was too much drama in the Bonnaire household.

Was riding "off hours" last night and for a few glorious minutes had a leaders jersey for having the fastest time on the new volcano circuit which comes out to just over a vo2max effort (5.5 to 6 minutes).

I might miss Wed morning this week.  If anyone wants to volunteer to lead the ride please let me know so I can arrange it with the Zwift admins.

Also I think I'll shorten the Saturday race to 2 laps.  3 laps is a pretttttty long time.

Nice job on the Volcano V02Max.  
I can't make it Wednesday morning and I think the change to 2 laps sounds good.  That 3rd one is the reason why I'm generally unable to move for 30 minutes after the ride. 

More people should be joining in on these training sessions!  It's good practice, it's good to ride with people, even virtually, you can get in a solid 30 minutes, and if you have a computer and power meter, or trainer that Zwift lists as compatible, all you need is an Ant+ dongle (usb stick) and a usb extension.   
What am I forgetting?  Do you need more?

While I'm supportive of anyone who wants to join in on these rides, I hope anyone who had a chance to ride outside got to ride outside.

If everyone is snowed in tomorrow, anyone want to coordinate on a morning or lunchtime session.  Planning on z2-3 for an hour.

Snow day for me.  Probably going to hop on Zwift at some point today but i'm still sick (century ride did many things for me but did not help me get over the sick) so might just do Z1/Z2, we'll see how i feel

Aiming to hop on 1230 to 130p.  Let me know if joining so we can coordinate on route, maybe even possibly get Discord voip working.

Yack is out there...skulking....plotting...what time lads?

you're going to start at a time anywhere between 1230 to 130 or you're going to start at 1230 and end at 130?

Hour ride: 1230 start, 130 end.

Before you start riding let's choose the same route so we don't have to constantly push arrows to choose the same route as each other.

snickering....

YackoWackoDot, I don't know what you're expecting, but I'm not contesting any sprints or v02 max challenges...

hmm...

trying to get discord to work

which workout?

which route

let's do a climbing route just so we get closer to that tron...

i'm on discord btw

Gonna be another minute if you guys want to wait up.
