Not sure about Zwift but with Sufferfest moving to their new app, some of the workouts are not available on TrainerRoad. As ChrisD mentioned above 'Igniter', the first workout on the tour, is one of the app-only workouts. I don't want to pay for another app so won't be bothering with the tour this year. Might be worth using one of the Tour of California sets of workouts in TrainerRoad for a group effort some time Al, but enough on that as this is a Zwift thread after all ...

Just received 7 emails saying my free socks have been dispatched - Does that mean one free pair for every day of the week?
P.S. Since it looks like rain I may well have an afternoon Zwift session instead.

I'll be on tonight - might do KISS 2nd base race (right on edge of Cat C and B so might be last race in C), or might just do workout - see how I feel.

I keep meaning too... but I'm nervous... where I live, my internet connection's dreadful, so I'm worried running both will kill one - the wrong one.

Had a chat today with friend at work who is using it. Very good apparently for group rides at more relaxed pace where ride leader is giving directions will check it out if I do a group ride and report back

do people use it for voice or text chat? I can't imagine voice chat would be all that easy over the sound of a hundred turbo trainers.

Not used myself yet. From what I was told its being used in the social group rides mainly by ride leaders to keep groups together although i have also heard some of the team are using private channels during races to organise tactics in race etc though based on my race tonight there is no way I would able to be coherent on a voice channel or see to text in race

Working from home today so managed to enter the SZR race on Zwift tonight @ 18:00 www.strava.com/activities/859676344/Two all out laps of Richmond worlds course so 32km with a mass start for all category's together. 200+ riders on start line and from the drop of the flag it was a full on effort of 300 watts for first 5 mins until groups formed. Thought I did ok and pulled back a 15 sec gap by start of second lap to next couple of Cat D riders so coming into last 1km was just hanging on to their wheels before loosing it on final Governor Road climb. Thought I had maybe got 3rd in Cat D but seems the two ahead of me exceeded the 2.5 W/KG average for D and were moved up to C. Checked Zwiftpower to find I got provisional 1st in Cat D (revised result shows 2nd place but still happy) www.zwiftpower.com/race.php?id=3318

Why do you guys always appear and ride on me while I'm churning out big watts and there's no way I can return it?! RobP this morning, 75% of the way up my race up box hill when my HR was ~170 and I was trying to hold 350W. nice result in your race.

I was actually just on the app looking at what events were on tonight and saw you were riding so gave the ride on. Im the same i got 3 while racing last night with no option to return em. My approach is to pay it forward instead. So you got the ride on i would have returned last night

I really like Richmond course but rarely on. Wanted to train tonight but struck down with dreaded man flu yesterday and today so feel pants.
