During COVID I did a lot of riding with my dumb trainer which was a wheel on cycleops trainer. I had Zwift paired up to the powermeter on my bike so my input was realistic and I could do the races or intervals properly. The only downside really is that the trainer wont adjust to the gradient and you need to use your gears to get the intensity correct for any interval. But it worked and it was fun and kept me sane during those lockdowns.

Shew, that was my first time riding 36One. Had I known what we were in for I might not have started 😂

What @NC_lurker said! Just put a bigger crankset on the gravel bike and you'll be sorted for your needs. You might need a longer chain. Personally I would keep the small crankset for when you decide to do gravel adventures/races. Swapping a GRX crankset is quick and easy.

Oh flip was that you?! I was in that group but thankfully at the front for that turn. Heard it happen and then looked back to see it. Was wondering how on earth that could happen in such a small group and on a slow corner.

This thread has never been so quiet. Everybody must be checking the weather reports for the 50th time today and taking the last of their Ketone & EPO stash. Good luck to everybody that's riding and enjoy the day

Does anybody know if there's lentills in the goodie bags this year?

Checkout South Side Cycles who ride from The Active Hobo in Westlake. They have a ride every day of the week often with a group for beginners and then another group thats a bit faster. Most of the time it's on the roads but there is a MTB ride about once a week.

Seeding has been updated to include these results. Thank you @Pure Savage, you took me from an index of 23 to lucky number 13 👌👌

I think some people from K and maybe other groups opted for the 79km option midway through the race 😂😂

The touchscreens are great until it's raining. If they're wet it's a lottery to see if you can swipe to another data screen or not. I ride with a 1040 which doenst have any backup buttons that you can use instead. My workaround thesedays is to have an aux shifter button programmed to go to the next data screen.

OMG this is sooo rad!! Please please please can you do it for all the start groups coz I was way down in BB

Anybody have a list of the Start Groups and Times? I need to plan the options available to me 😅

Excellent registration. Venue is lekka and everybody there was super friendly and helpful. Thank you @NicholasH & team

I've got a pair of 60mm spacers that I could sell to you. Just DM me if that's the size you're interested in
