Hey ! I was in the same race, it is so wierd to see my name on the screen at the start ! But your level is much better than mine. Cat B is so difficult for me, I finished 148/200 at 3.2w/kg. Very good job man, Ride on !
Love the safety bike (And I sort of love the music)! You ALMOST had them! I think we have all been on the nasty side of a split and I have to admit that was just about as disheartening as you could get! Like you said ... maybe three seconds. SHoot, I halfway wonder if you weren't just a position or two ahead ... So unfair!
Nice race. Congrats everybody........ About in-game camera. Some time ago (when was camera menu rewamp) Zwift changed the distance in this 3rd person view to closer one. Now we don`t see our bikes anymore. Eric`s safety bike was not seen almost whole race. Only on the end somewhere. That is not normal.
That looked brutal. It looked so brutal that I will be riding it myself in about an hour and a half. That was one heck of a sprint!!! I bet you were the fastest squirrel in the race. By the way, watching your video made me think of a question I had. How does one go about getting weight verified?
@ZwiftInsider I thought the check mark next ro someone's name was what that was. I had seen some pros have that in the past. There are also videos of people on scales.and showing with additional weights that the acale is accurate. So what does the check mark mean then?
@@ZwiftingWithGranny check mark just means you're a somewhat famous Zwifter. You could call it a "verified" account like Twitter used to do, but it has nothing to do with weight. Zwift gives the checkmark to well-known folks like TV personalities, stars from other sports, or big name ex-pro cyclists... or me, a humble Zwinfluencer!
What trainer difficulty do you have set and why? I like to have it around the 25% mark so I don't have to switch gears a lot on up/down hills. Suppose it "doesn't matter" from the watts perspective, but I'm curious about your take!
Mine is around 40%. I like to feel the hills so I naturally up the power, but I don't like to shift constantly... and I prefer a higher flywheel speed.
@@fwschnaar3179 I'm using a mic... a very good one. Trust me, if it was my ear bud mics you were hearing, it would be much worse! I've got a lot of noise cancellation going on, but that can only do so much when I'm coughing and snorting, unless I switch to something like push to talk.
I would thought you would have used your draft power up on last climb before the banner to get back on possibly and then get another power up but when on the limit hard to think great effort. @@ZwiftInsider
Ah, I thought that might the case. You don’t know how the race is set up. 😊 The race only gave out powerups at the sprint banner. So you get two draft boosts in the whole race. Important to know that before doing the race!
Ok that explains it my bad I am pretty sure you know way more about zwift then I do. By the way think's for all you do for fellow zwifter's like myself. @@ZwiftInsider

Keep up the good work. As you can see... there are plenty much stronger than I, even just in B cat. Cycling is a humbling sport!
Hard race. It felt fast from the start and really didn't let up. Short but bumpy. Nicely done handing in there till the last climb.
Awesome race! I did the same at C-cat and that was also brutal. The course was nice to ride.
Same here and totally agree on the brutal.
Well done brother. thanks for posting
Nice one! 2:00 is no joke on that climb
Great Gusto! Have a feeling many heads were shaking on this one!

Clearly unfair. Everyone ahead must have been weight doping! :)
Great ride on the Hilly KOM
Looks like a tough bit fun course. Going to do this one tomorrow...I´m a warned man. The climbs were strong.
Great race!
Eric, review this head on footage, looks like a bit of a head lean to onside and opposite twist in knees.

How do you get the draft clock and the group time split? I don't have that on my dashboard.
I think that is sauce for zwift
Ah didn't know about that.... Cheating I guess.

Hi Linda!
There is no weight verification procedure on Zwift. Why do you ask?
@ZwiftInsider I thought the check mark next ro someone's name was what that was. I had seen some pros have that in the past. There are also videos of people on scales.and showing with additional weights that the acale is accurate. So what does the check mark mean then?

@ZwiftInsider OH! Well that explains why I saw it on famous people🤣
Which frame and wheels?
Doesn’t matter. Frame and wheel choice is neutralized in Zwift games events!
General in races or only zwift games?
Only Zwift Games.

She was trying to wear you out and get you dropped on the last Climb 🤔…. Worked! 😂🚴♀️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️… AND ! The Townie Bike 🤔
Guess so! :) Gotta love the Safety bike. When equipment is neutralized, it's time for some fun!
Gotcha… Didn’t know that 👍🚴♀️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️
Felt this course could still have been a bit hillier/steeper but i enjoyed it.
These are words I've never said once in my life.
Safety bike? Why???? 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Safety first! (Also, equipment is neutralized in this race, so it doesn’t matter what frame and wheels you use. So I picked a fun bike.)
@@ZwiftInsider ohh okay, good to know 👍
I like your videos, but the music is annoying
And I mentioned to Eric… Switch from the Ear Buds to an Open Mic… Ear Buds are picking up his Suffering🤔🤪 when coughs or snorts 😳
@@fwschnaar3179 I'm using a mic... a very good one. Trust me, if it was my ear bud mics you were hearing, it would be much worse! I've got a lot of noise cancellation going on, but that can only do so much when I'm coughing and snorting, unless I switch to something like push to talk.
Want me to pipe in some bluegrass instead? :)
@@ZwiftInsider to be honest, I like your your videos, but I turn the volume off.
This video helped me to prepare tomorrow’s race. Thanks.
Personally, when I watch zwifting I like to graph output
Very odd use of power ups.
By who?
