The early ride was awesome with great company. Even better was being pulled along by Sir @Medina81 and getting my first sub 60 AdZ submitting! :smile:

We missed a few of our regulars this week including Dame K.

I have no idea who finished first. But I think both Sir @Glen.Coutts and I should be disqualified from picking next week’s route. :wink:

Especially since his free subscription is expired…

Probably Sir @Medina81 should do the honors. Even if he didn’t cross the line first line (which I can’t say he didn’t) he should have.

I think I pipped him at the line but I don’t believe he even tried to stop me. What an amazing effor!t and I got the distinct sense he was holding back too!!

What a feeling to be dragged up a mountain. Sub 1 hour all around. Thank you Sir Ruben @Medina81 twas an honour to ride with you.

And I think I was towed, at times, on the Noon PDT ride. Don’t want to pick the next as I picked this one (and I was sick as well). Look forward to more suffering next week after my undercarriage heals.

Yep. Maybe a nice toodle around Watopia? Nice and flat? Nah. That wouldn’t be sufficient Suffering.

Could do Climber’s Gambit this weekend. It’s only 17.4 miles and has a smaller hill, does that fit the requirements for relaxing?

I think Sir @jmckenzieKOS wants to ride Uber Pretzel…

also, let’s try to pop in for a bit, even if it’s just for a switchback or 2. It can get pretty lonely on that hill…

Nope. Not going there…

Guess I’ve never looked. What is the Kitchen Sink of Zwift?

:thinking:

Trying to get ahead of the curve this week. Knight Rides posted for sign-up in the KOS Club on Zwift.

This week we’ll be taking on the Muir and the Mountain circuit in Watopia.

Set it for two laps (if you want), but come and go as you please. Help us drag Sir Evan @emacdoug around the velodrome one last time! Guaranteed Fluffy sighting! :t_rex::t_rex::t_rex:

One change this week - shifted the last ride time to 0900 EDT/1100 GMT Sunday morning. Hopefully will pick up a little more interest in the third ride, and will help me overcome Saturday work issues and actually make one of the rides every weekend!

KNIGHT RIDE | Saturday 0900 EDT/1400 GMT

To answer my own question:

  • The Uber Pretzel in Watopia is 128km, 2,380m of climbing

  • The France Gran Fondo loop is 145.5km, 1,099m of climbing

  • The London PRL Full loop is 173km, 2,623m of climbing, over something like 30 laps - which sounds awful

The PRL Full is actually not that bad because it’s just repeats of the Box Hill climb which is not that steep. The hard part is the full length and number of repeats. The climb itself fine. lol.

Yeah the short loop repeats was the “sounds awful” part to me. I actually quite like Box Hill. And I always get the “work work” song in my head from SYSTM. :joy:

I once did 75 reps of Leith Hill on Zwift and 300 reps of Garbage Hill in Winnipeg.

Edit: I know I know, living in the past :man_shrugging:t3:

Wow! But then, to be fair, you’re nuts Sir!

Sounds like Everesting Mount Lemmon… Something like nine laps and they aren’t fun.
