That was a hard one with the finish on top of a 6% avg, 8km climb.

@RichFreeman is on fire. 8th place finish by clawing back something like 7 places during the climb.

@RobertMullenand @James Reeder both looking strong and just missing the front split.

I kept losing my connection because of a weak stages battery the first half and finally swapped it after I was properly dropped by the 4th chase group. No issues after that, and finished with the stragglers at threshold. Phone battery died as well and lost the meeting connection towards the end. Womp womp.


Gonna race the BRT Wednesday Night Crit Race on Zwift tonight (7:00PM start time) if anyone wants to join
I am tired. That Innsbruck course is fun. 
Yeah that was a good one! Rich is virtually crushin it. Zwift races are brutal whenever they go over an hour. No one in the field seems to come to the consensus that they should go a little easier than they would in a 20 min zwift crit lol. 
Team! 

We'll do a Zwift virtual look sharp this Friday Jan 29th (tomorrow) 7:00am.

Let me know if you wanna join, you'll need to be following me, and I'll invite you.

Already invited some of the usual suspects, and 5 already confirmed, thanks!! 

Planning on 40ish KM, you can go longer or shorter. Pace will be chill mellow suave relax while we discuss CX Worlds and "Not Cervelos"

Hope to see there, virtually.



count me in!
Count me in
I hope to join.
i'd like to join
Sweet, we have about 8 of us confirmed for tomorrow morning. @jim_nelson @Jules you'll need to please accept the invite on the companion app to join us.

A few additional notes:
  • There is no late start, you must join and be pedaling before 7am EST or we wont see you.
  • Wear the Bumble Bee jersey (Basic 1) and if you can, an orange cap.
  • Pace will be chill 2.5 wpk or less, but we can have some fun on sprints and whatever
  • The companion app is by far the best way to communicate during the ride
Will be fun!
I'm gonna show up with white ankle socks.
Good times today; thanks @eloy for organizing. Next week let's set up a voice chat!
As long as there's an option for text chat. I'm no good for conversation that early in the morning

Don't wake the baby!
Alrighty folks, here we go for race 4

As before, we need at least a team of 4 - 6 riders to get points. @RichFreeman is on fire and it would be great to make his efforts count! I'll be there...



RACE 4 INFORMATION

This week another UCI World Championships course - this time, the beautiful Victorian spa town of Harrogate situated to the West of the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire. If you made it to Harrogate for the 2019 UCI World Championships it was just a little bit wet but there was warmth to be found in the  Zwift Draft House with many friendly faces, plenty of Zwifting and of course our personal favorite - beer!

This course takes no prisoners - for those that know Yorkshire, there are hills-a-plenty to make this a tough race. The KOM that climbs the unforgiving gradient of Cornwall Road followed by a short downhill before a gentle climb to hit the all-out sprint (if your legs are still alive) for almost 400m of sprinting on Hereford Road.

As captain of Kissena Cycling Club please ensure you distribute ONLY the RACE PASS link below to the racers in your team. Your team should be at least 4 and no more than 6 riders for Community Divisions.
  • Racers must sign in to the designated pen in the specified event. Failure to do so will result in no result or team points.
  • Team Managers and camera cars should sign in to the E pen

FYI, KCC should be higher in the standings, but we only had 3 in the very first race so only gained points for the TTT and last week's stage.

99% sure I'm in. I'm currently snowed in at my partner's apartment (trainerless) but I will probably make it home by then.
