Yes we finished week #7 - I have already ridden my week #8 TT, so I had #8 in my brain. I update my results post with the correct week.

Results for week #7: We had 2 new participants this week: Welcome Alex H. & Brian V. - who obviously set new Personal Bests! That now brings total participants to 14! Wonderful. 5 of us managed to set new PB's too: Cliff, Jim F, Larry, Robert, and Hardy - way to go everyone. I (Larry) managed to...

I am confirmed as going now - I will arrive in San Antonio on Thursday the 21st. Pray for Jim's knee to "heal up" by then.

I believe it is because of the lower seat angle. I have the same thing happen to me on my Raptor (which is 11-12 degrees) when compared to the V20 (at 20 degrees), and I have compared other bikes and models too. This makes a huge difference on Zwift, where we are not given any aero advantage for...

I saw an interesting "result" happen with "rumpled jersey". I was at the A2 WindTunnel with Cruzbike a while ago. Jim Parker put his skin suit on (no small feat by the way) - went in the wind-tunnel, came out, switched to his super loose, flapping in the wind Jersey and go a lower cda value...

Sorry about that - corrected in my initial post.

Jason, sure you can't make it to this event. You probably would tear it up. I think the fastest speed anyone has done (in recent history) any any bike is about 18.8mph for the 214 miles. There were some faster times back in 2012, but I think it was a shorter and flatter course - not sure though...

There is another segment called "Volcano Flat 2 laps from Arch". This is what I use and I make sure I don't pass the arch at all on my warm-up so I don't have to crop my file for the segment to get "sensed" correctly. I also used my Garmin and hit the lap button on it as soon as I pass the Arch...

Brain, Glad to have you in the TT - Please email you weekly result to me at larryoslund@gmail.com, with the segment you are using along with you the result that you see: your time. This helps me double check what I see - plus Zwift has quite a few segments (2 lap) versions and I want to make...

Alex, I think I am going to try and do the 5:35am'sh Hare and Hounds race on Zwift each Wed morning. Seems like a good time and don't mind doing a 1 HR TT each week. Good for the heart! I also did the 160Km "B" event on Zwift last Saturday. But it was really early at 2:45. It was a blast...

Wow! Alex makes our Winter TT group 13 strong. For those of you who don't know: Alex is the "other" strong man besides Jason. Only 140 pounds and I have seen him ride close to 4W/Kg for an hour in a Hare & Hounds race. He stayed at the front the whole hour, while I could not stay with the group...

Looked at your data and wondered what happened - That explains it - but still with only "part" of a "left quad" - you still manage to dwarf the rest of our power making abilities. haha. I see you have take the strategy of really banging the power on the uphills and letting back on the downhills...

Welcome to the group Alex - From the analysis mode, I was able to zoom into your data and "guess" you time for the 2laps as 36:22 with avg power of 244 and avg HR of 170. If you take your Strava ride and crop the front stuff off and resave it should calculate the Segment the way you want it! I...

It has been my experience that eventually there is no real "pulling or pushing" on the handlebar to counteract what you all "the leg action". I think the legs just eventually take over entirely. Many people can ride no hands for long periods of time. I ride with the tiny little stubby handlebar...

You'll eventually get another one - just wait... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Great write up and adventure Seth - Thanks for sharing and also pic of Vendetta is sweet!

Yes - You set a PB by 10 seconds - so far you are in 1st place this week. You will stay there so long as no one else better's there PB by more than 10 secs - which is actually quite hard to do after 6 weeks. Congrats

Thanks Hardy: I will commit to doing this race every week

The goal was not to get to 15 miles exactly. The goal was to find some number of "loops" that comes close to 15 miles. (2 laps of Volcano flat is 15.33) which is what everyone else is doing. 6 laps of the volcano circuit is "about the same. It does not really matter that the distances are...
