Week #6 Cruzbike 2020 TT results and stats:
Hi Everyone - again!
Is it just me, or does time just pass faster in the summer!
Another fantastic week by everyone!
This week we had a total of 48 riders!
We welcome 1 new rider this week - WowGill Shiltutt down in Washington NC
Some Stats:
Most improved over PB:
Congrats to
Rich Hays who beat his previous PB by
130 seconds this week! Outstanding
Points Podium: (there has been some shuffling on the podium,but the names are familiar enough! haha)
1st - Andrew Thompson : 207
2nd - Neal Brooks: 202
3rd - Jim Parker: 200
..Honorable mention: Rob Lloyd at 198 points
(There are 18 people within 60 points of the leader,so still lots of room for others on the podium with 15 weeks left)
There were 24 new PB's this week - Wow!
36 riders have ridden all 6 weeks - that is a great stat too!
One other interesting number to note is that now after 6 weeks we only have 5 riders that have PB'd every 6 weeks. Down from 12 last week.
Special mentions:
Maria Parker: who after being on vacation for a week, came back and not only slaughtered her PB by a blistering 96 secs, but set a new PB for avg. power at 170W, and avg HR at a heart stopping
179bpm - my heart is just going pitter-patter thinking about averaging that HR! I think this confirms she is going all out!
Kyle Larson: He could not ride his Cruzbike low racer at max speed (near 30mph) due to wet conditions, so he rode at half power and super hi cadence, He had set the mark at 130rpm for candence now - WOW! While doing this he also captured the "most efficient" category at 13.55 mph/W/Kg! I guess we are all less efficient at high speeds and this proves it.
Special note about changing routes:
Since we started 3 members have asked to switch their courses either because they were dangerous in some way or have or will become un-ridable due to some issue. Yes it is possible, but these are the rules:
You have to be able to prove that you are matching your effort on your new course with your PB on your old course. You can really only do that with the use of a power meter or minimally a HR monitor.
The Process:
- Ride your new route matching your effort (Using power and/or HR)
- You will be ranked that week at "0-delta secs" (basically as if you matched your PB time).
- You will receive whatever points for that week that you earned from being ranked at that spot.
- You will not receive a PB point or bonus points
- You will retain all earlier earned points and category awards
(Since we are allowing this, I guess we can also allow someone to switch from Zwift to outdoor, or outdoor to Zwift if they really need to - but same stipulation - need to prove the same effort)
I also know the spreadsheet is getting almost too big to present from a screenshot even as a jpg from a 4K monitor. So here is a link to a googledocs spreadsheet of only the week #6 stats so you can sort and look at all the data as you like. (I have removed birthdates, emails, and weight so not sharing anything I don't normally post each week that is private). All formulas were also removed since they relied on some of that data.

Looking forward to everyone's results for week #7.
Please remember to "name" your ride for me in case I have to search for it in your Strava feed - helps me out a lot!
Ride Hard and Stay Safe!
