In. Anyone else fancy it - need them numbers to make it count!
Indeed it would be great to get one more rider for those sweet points to count.
in, too.
Awesome, think we have enough to get some points tonight!

We still have room for 2 more starters on the squad, please don't be shy about joining!

Here's a google meets for tonight:

Cheers to the boys for last night - absolute ripper of a race.


Good times, a lot of canadians taking top spots there, eh?
Tomorrow. Feb 19 7:00am. Zwift Virtual Look Sharp.

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

Already invited the usual suspects, got some confirms, thanks!! 

Planning on 40ish KM, you can go longer or shorter. Pace will be mega chill piano suave relax while we discuss texan snow.

Please wear the bumble bee (basic 1) jersey, and an orange cap.

Hope to see you there, virtually.


Team ramp test. Who wants in?

I like pain. Seems like a good idea.
Get Zwifty - details for tomorrow below!

RACE 7 INFORMATION
Finally some flat roads - albeit with one quick sprint up Libby Hill. We return to Richmond for Stage 7 of the Zwift Racing League and take on the Libby Hill After Party. 5 fast and furious laps of Richmond hitting up the Monument Avenue Sprint 5 times with both First Across the Line and Fastest Through the Segment before heading along the Virginia Capital Trail. There are no Broad Street points - then the winding, cobbled climb of Libby Hill where the fruit machine Jackpot of FAL, FTS and Finish Line points await the fastest. They say Virginia is for Lovers but there certainly won't be much love lost between teams on this action packed circuit!

In. Get amongst it. 
i'm in
I'm in!! 
I too am in.
Space for one more....fun course with a bit of something for everyone!
Recon of the stage and route links below. Nearly completely flat with a very short 1min sharp climb at the end.



This is going to be a fast one so Tron or your fastest aero setup recommended. I'm assuming crazy break attempts early on creating 2 or 3 major splits. Then it'll be ralph-worthy efforts right at the end when everyone muscles up to the finish.

Sprinters, this here is your course, room for one more rider on the team!

Yeah buddy! @Nathaniel Picard Busky got 6th and @RichFreeman stuck with him in the front group for a top 20. James and I split into the second group and got solid results. The subtle 2% rise and fall each lap and subsequent power yoyoing in the field made it hard while the sprint points broke groups apart. Fun stuff. Sadly @RobertMullen's zwift app crapped out and couldn't race last night, but he made for a great DS!

Next week is the final race of the series and a short 31km TTT, anyone is welcome to join - we can have up to 6 riders. If you can't race you're still welcome to "watch" the race and join us on the group chat, it's a fun time, despite the heavy breathing!



Absolute throw down of race. Look at the NP there...
"Wifi router dying on the starting line" is a new race day badge/excuse to unlock. 
But in all seriousness, that race looked brutal! The dudes made the moves and Rich and Nate managed to make to to the climb with the main group. 

But in regards to watching, I would 10/10 recommend. I ended up doing the TR "Petit" workout while chatting and watching these guys blast themselves to smithereens. Certainly made my ride go by quicker. Maybe I can set up some kinda screen share Google meet thing, though that may be pushing the limits of my bandwidth 🤔. If folks are interested in joining but don't want to wreck themselves in the race, let's talk about organizing something! 
@RobertMullen That is a very excellent idea. I have two computers at my disposal, I may be able to put on the Zwift watch rider function on one and have it be logged on to a google meet separately sharing its screen, that way anyone who wants to watch doesn't have to be up in Zwift
I'd like to try that
Team, tomorrow Friday February 26th. 7:00 am Kissena Zwift Look Sharp.

Let me know if you wanna join, you'll need to be following me, and I'll invite you. Already invited the usual suspects

Planning on 40ish KM, you can go longer or shorter. Pace will be mega super suave relax piano piano while we discuss Froomey's lack of UAE results.

Please wear the bumble bee (basic 1) jersey, and an orange cap.

Hope to see you there, virtually.



Final WTRL race details below. We have room for 6 riders - If all 5 of the "regulars" race we will have room for one more.


The final race of season 2 and London is CallingBass to the place London! A single 27km lap of Greatest London Flat taking in all the major sights from the Tower of London, Trafalgar Square, Marble Arch, Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Harrods and a little bit of the Surrey hills before crossing Tower Bridge and the last few heavy kilometers to a Mall sprint finish. Grab your team mates by the handlebars and lead them through the streets of London for the Season 2 Finale!

We hope you have enjoyed Season 2 of the Zwift Racing League and if you are headed for playoffs we will be in touch in the coming days with details.

I’d like to join, but never done so before. What do I need to do?
@DiegoSanchez sweet!

Actually joining the race/team is simple now - you just need to click the WTRL link I post every week (this one is for the TTT this Tuesday), but you need active accounts for:

1. Zwift https://www.zwift.com/
2. WTRL https://www.wtrl.racing/zrl/Zwift-Racing-League.php
3. Zwift Power https://zwiftpower.com/


The "tricky" part is connecting your Zwift account to Zwiftpower.

1. Sign up for Zwiftpower at https://zwiftpower.com/
2. In your Zwift account settings, look for Zwift Power and click "Connect". https://www.zwift.com/settings/connections
3. Follow instructions to allow Zwift to connect to ZP - This will probably involve some sort of code or authentication method so make sure you're logged into both accounts. It is very confusing and they may have changed how this works since then so feel free to post here if you run into any issues and we can try to troubleshoot.
4. Optional: Request to join KCC on ZP ( @Jules will probably have to approve) https://zwiftpower.com/team.php?id=12471


Good luck!

Done, thanks. I joined league B, is that correct?
