Thank you so much ☺️
I love this. Thanks for sharing
That’s kind of you to say 👍🏻 - it’s a great series, definitely a challenge!
Great to be part of the team Olly. Can’t wait to race.
It’s great to have you on the team mate! It’ll also be great racing together, looking forward to this week very much 😃
Great work!! Thanks for organizing the team, I’m happy to be sprinting for you. Best of luck!
You’ve got this E! Great effort on the first 2 stages - it’s an honour to host you mate 👍🏻
Nice efforts Olly! Pretty jealous as I love the FRR series for those fitness gains and sense of accomplishment, currently in the middle of a house move and was away for Christmas so haven’t been on the bike in over a month and have packed on the pounds over that period 😅Hope to be back on the bike soon and join you guys for some group rides and maybe see you in some races, though I feel I’m going to get humbled my first ride back on Zwift! Hope you had a good Christmas and happy New Year!
Thanks Ray! Hope you had a good Christmas mate and were away somewhere nice! House moves are stressful enough without having to cycle every night so I really don’t blame you for giving it a miss mate! Hope it all goes well and it’ll be great to see you back on Zwift / looking forward for you to join us on some group rides! You’re very strong on the bike mate so you’ll be fine when you do jump back on 👍🏻
Always nice to get that second wind. Especially with the back to back format of the first day. Best of luck in the series. Interested to see how your GC position progresses throughout the series.
Thanks very much 👍🏻 I was really worried that I’d completely snap but it paced it not too bad in the end 😀 Appreciate your kind words, I’ll give it my all and fingers crossed for some decent results 👍🏻
I paused so he Can rest❤
Haha thank you - it was needed!! 👍🏻
Lol keep going
I was pretty excited to try out FRR for the first time but I got taken out with a chest cold just before new years. Gutted to be missing this. Good luck with the race series, the queen stage looks like a banger!
That’s a massive shame, hope you’re starting to feel better now mate, this series is definitely one to do when there’s no sign of any illness. I said I’d never do that course again (Queen stage) after what happened a couple of years ago but here we are lol 😂 It should be a lot of fun 👍🏻
Good work champ, keep smashing
Thanks very much mate 👍🏻 I’ll give it my all, should be a decent series 😀
Great effort Olly, I’ll see you in the HAB pens, I’m exactly 1 minute behind you in GC. Really looking forward to racing with you.
Thanks Ray 👍🏻 That’s great we’ll be racing in the same category, I’m going to do the 6PM races week nights I think, still undecided on the Sat/Sun race. Be excellent racing with you too, it’ll be really good fun (maybe except the last race lol) 👍🏻
@ I’m at 0600 tomorrow but the rest of the week I’ll have to play it by ear. Work and family commitments might dictate the times. I’m Still a little scared for Sunday 😂
Good luck with the early one mate, hopefully I’ll see you at least once, even if it is at the weekend 👍🏻 I know I’ll really need to psych myself up for it 🤣
"Little bit of an incline."
Hehe
Haha yeah… I was being quite generous there 😂 It’d be cool to see you try this series at some point, I think you’d do well mate 👍🏻
Happy New Year Ollie!! I'm in HAB with you but currently it's looking like i'll be having to do the 06:00 races!😭
Looking forward to seeing how you get on in GC mate, I'm going to see how my sprinting legs get on in this series.
I've just joined your club on ZP (I didn't realise you can be part of more than one club)
Take care mate!
Hi Phil, Happy New Year to you also! Hope you had a great Christmas mate. That’s great we’re in the same category and also very happy to hear you’ve joined the NP team! I was hoping you would - not sure if Army put in a team for FRR? Doing the early races is an amazing effort, I don’t know if I could do that! What about Saturday/Sunday, maybe we can race together then if you’re able to do slightly later? Good luck in the tour - I’ll be keeping an eye out on how you get on 👍🏻 take care mate
@ this time around I’m doing it with the Army team but will switch it up for the world tour if you’re putting a team in for that?
What time are you doing Saturday? I’m up for riding with you Saturday mate!
That’s good Army have a team mate - yeah that’d be great for the World Tour, should be putting in a team for that too hopefully 👍🏻
I think I’ll do the 10:30 or the 1pm race if that’s any good for you?
@@notpogi 10:30 would be good for me mate if you're happy with that?
Yes mate let’s do it! 😃
lennert teugels who was first on the segment is a local pro here where I live he's quite good
I did notice he was in the race and I couldn’t quite believe how fast he completed both stages, he is an absolute beast! 👍🏻
Good luck with the Tour!...Alas I am skipping this one. Have had a bug for 4-5 weeks which I just couldn't shake...and although I am finally getting over it (I think) I didn't think 7-8 of intensity would be right for me atm...but building up for the next one!...Go Smash it in HAB...will check in and see how you are getting on....
Thanks Sam 👍🏻 That’s such a shame to hear you’re skipping this one but it’s 100% the sensible thing to do if you’re not feeling great. Glad to hear you’re on the road to recovery, hopefully I’ll do you proud mate! 👍🏻
Remember the fueling and rest mentally good luck
Thanks Guy for your support throughout! Fuelling will be so important 👍🏻
I love this concept of a stage race in Zwift! Are there more of these going on trough the years and how do I find these?
Yes there are a few of these with different organisers throughout the year. You can find a lot of them on the Zwift Racers Facebook page, alternatively FlammeRougeRacing.co.uk is the website for this series. Another good one is called the Chasing Tour, worth a lookup also 👍🏻
@notpogi Thanks a lot! Will definetly look into this!
The Grand Tour on TrainingPeaks Virtual is coming back in March! 🎉
You going to race in it?
That sounds very interesting and exciting! I’ll give it some research and make a call closer to the start 😃
