For anyone unable to find Paul I should be easy to find. Just search for 'Haydn Jones' and you'll find me (there's only 3 of us on Zwift), look for the one with high mileage and usually with some combination of Roady, 3R and team names in there too (Nirvana, Wasp, Meatloaf). I might be the only one with a profile picture too... This is me.
Although not sure how I can easily add people to the Club, as it doesn't give a list of friends. Hmm. The 'Invite Zwifters' button from the Club just gives the usual rider search, so you could post up your Zwift names in here and we'll invite you if we can identify you from that? Maybe putting 'OCUK' in the name could be an easy way - you don't need to keep it once you're in.
Yeah have tried that, actually ended up with a result from 4iiii (after I reached out on Twitter) with a bunch of troubleshooting tips. Have been through them and messaged back so kinda hopeful they can recommend next steps, or if it's serviceable... Might even get tempted if they offer a great price off a new one?!Some rotten timing with all those failures!
A long shot, but have you tried reversing polarity of the CR2032 in the 4iiii for a while? I've only done it once myself and can't recall how long, think I found info about it online at the time, don't think it was long (10secs???).
4iiii numbers can go erratic when the battery is about to die, I did an outdoor ride in Nov '19 which suggested I should get a call up from Sir Dave about joining Sky!
Great to hear! Wahoo support meant to be one of the best in the business - also what Garmin are aspiring to be like...
As it's a race, although you can 'see' them and ride with them on course (draft etc), they're not in your rider list as started from a different pen. In that race it looks like the A riders are visible which is great (so lower cats' can see higher ones).Any idea why riders I'm riding with don't appear on the list of riders nearby?
Jumped on the turbo after 3 hours sleep and missing a virtual reliability and got spat from the front group pretty fast. Found a decent group went hard AF up the climb on the 3rd lap then my mate logged off, the group went hard up it again the 4th lap and 4 of us got away but only one of the other riders was on the list.
Here is what I could see for example.

O'Grady is the only one I could see, the 20s gap back to the group we split from. I got dusted by them on the last climb and I couldn't see if they were kicking or not.
Edit: Looks like they are C riders. Weird that I can't see them.
I wanted to say great win, but you got DQ UPG - as you should be racing in A with your numbers in that race. So sorry, that doesn't count as a win!Finally got an undisputed win on my second home the Downtown Dolphin. Few weeks back was a photo finish but I smoked the other chap that was getting close by a clear bike length so I'm claiming it this time.
Did zero the first lap then took the KOM second lap and a dig most laps after that but can't make any small gap stick even with 4 or 5 of us with 3 seconds
Looks like my Wiggle HR monitor doesn't like it's new battery though....

But great riding especially against Alan H. I know him quite well and he's a fantastic rider! Been a few years since raced the same things as him, but he was always a powerhouse and very strong.
Yes. I'm upset as it's put me in B! I'm an 'almost-B' C on Zwiftpower, carefully treading the fine line between B+C, commonly known as sandbagging
It probably won't be across all events yet, they'll test it and run their own 'series' of events through it first. Then likely have it as an option race organisers can turn on, before they rolling it into ZRL and such.
Event/course specific. Burrito too!
Absolutely mega, well done for such an accomplishment! Hate to say it - but think I'd rather do it outside! Or maybe as part of an organised Zwift ride maybe. Gotta have some company!
The 3R Endurance Academy I think ends this weekend, number of riders who did 12h rides last month now doing their 24h. I'll be on for a few hours to help/support/encourage as it's always good fun! I know Tim Burton (Zwiftinsider & 3R) was talking about an everesting academy and it's been done before. No idea if upcoming though, that would be one worth doing.
Yes! Certainly when first starting it is hard work... You don't get many 'free' watts on a turbo trainer. No real downhills or respite! Near constant resistance... But that is also why they're fantastic training tools!
