That must be it. From Zwiftinsider: “Watopia is located on the much smaller Vanikoro Island (also part of the Temotu Province), approximately 90 miles southeast of Lata.” So I guess Mywindsock is using weather data from Vanikoro.

Surprisingly, it shows wind and CdA for Zwift rides. My CdA for the ride I did on the Tick Tock route of Watopia on Saturday ranged from 0.22 to 0.27. It shows wind speeds from 20.8 to 23.5 mph. I wonder where the wind "data" came from?

Correction, 39 mph (63 kph). So I figure I need the lumens of a motorcycle high-beam (1200 lumens).

Can you post a photo of how that looks? I need a light that is bright enough to go 34 mph safely at night, that will last at least 2 hours, and that doesn't require an external battery. I'm currently using a 1000 lumen L&M mounted underneath on the V20, and I like this position best because I...

I subscribed. It says my CdA on my MTB is 1.2! Seems too high.

I re-wax mine when I hear the chain start making a little bit of noise. Just checked chain wear and mileage for three bikes. Here are results: Cannondale Quick (wet weather commuter bike before the pandemic): 9-speed, 2661 miles, wear is > 0.5% but less than 0.75% S30 (permament trainer duty...

Yes, it takes a few days for its effect to build up. You’ll still have itchy eyes, but at least you’ll be able to breathe.

Fluticasone inhaler works for me.

Ok, now I get it. The race name is Good News. Duh.

Wow, what a day! That knee looks pretty sore. Quite impressive racing on it. What race was it?

Wow, I don't know how you can do that on a fixie! What's the benefit of the belt drive?

I’m 178cm and got the large. It’s a little too high at the neckline for me. I have longer legs and shorter torso. I trimmed the top of it, and I’m happy with the result.

Don’t sit up in a fast turn. One time I did that I lost rear-wheel traction and had a low-side crash.

I did a lot of commuting on my V20 pre-pandemic, and I regularly carried my 13” MacBook Pro in my scarab bag. It is a tight fit. I put some clothes under it and some on top. Watch out for this failure mode, though. The zipper came unzipped by itself. Good thing it is a tight fit!

If you are willing to go tubeless, the Conti 5000 TL tires are the real deal. I've yet to have one of those punctures that never really seals up enough to hold normal pressure. They may not be easy to get on your rims, though.

I don't think anyone noticed. And I didn't use it the entire time. When I was third in line to pull, I moved up and stayed up there until my turn was complete. I told my teammates after the race that I had used the tactic, and they didn't have much to say. The guy from ATP who I learned from...

Why would some frown on it? I think it works well for a TTT because the pace is relatively constant. In a large peloton like the ZRL scratch races the peloton speed oscillates/surges too much for it to work well.

I tried a new tactic for recovering while sitting in that I gleaned from watching a guy who is really good at maintaining average speed with the lowest possible W/kg. While in the blob I would get off the power a bit so that I would slowly drift back in the blob, then do 3-4 hard pedal strokes...

Kudos to High Speed and Low Drag!
