Description :
Welcome to the Team DIRT Monday Morning Blues Ride.
Please join us weekly on Monday mornings for a 2.5 w/kg group ride.

Our yellow beacon group leader will ride the entirety of the course as close to 2.3 to 2.5 w/kg as possible.

Team DIRT is an acronym for Dads Indoors Riding Trainers. We started as group of dads from the Eastern Time Zone who all ride regularly before work. We are a social racing team consisting mostly of B and C level zwifters.

The Monday idea came about because a lot of us have work and family obligations during the week and this would be a perfect way to kickoff the week. Hence, the ‘DIRT Monday Morning Blues’ ride. It’s a great way for people to recover from a long weekend and still get in a great workout.

Don’t forget to add “DIRT” after your name and make sure you are not on a TT bike.

In this ride I complete the Alpe Du Zwift in 52:30 mins

One of those rides that was lost in translation, it was good to do something different when climbing up Alpe Du Zwift.

This time my trainer set to 50%, and mixed the ride had a great mix of intervals which I wasn’t able to complete.

Lots of fun, a highly recommended ride, just make sure to follow the race leader.

In a planned week of recovery, I am sure putting out some quick burst of watts. Was meant to be taking these group rides easy, but I manage to up my 5min watt game in this ride, and got group dropped which took me almost 10 mins to catch up.

To see some of the highlights of this ride, please feel free to check out my other videos from the night.

It’s a TT, and this time I am prepared. I plan to just slog it out and ride it 100% off the saddle (which I don’t think you are meant to do in a TT, please educate me???) So for this slog I am setting the trainer to 0% and just go flat out for the duration of this race.

With plenty of drops, I end up getting a new bike and wheels, most likely never to be used again. But what else are you meant to do with them, exchange for Bitcoin?

Well this ended up being my hardest watts race to date at 358w, and end up with a ZwiftPower result of 2nd

This ride was part of the 3R Watopia Road To Sky – 1 Lap group ride held on the 07/03/2021. Playing around with the trainer setting and changed it to 50% before this ride. But in the end watts are watts.

In this ride, I take part in the Rugby Ride Challenge Day One 1/6 on the 06-03-2021 and finish up riding to 100kms to collect internet points on strava.

I did get dropped by one of the first groups around 40mins as I couldn’t keep up, and held on to the end with the race organiser.

I really should read the ride descriptions, as a passing comment before the ride started I realised that I needed to be on a TT bike. This was going to be a hard 8.8km ride as no draft, and its all you.

Still learning, and not sure if on a TT bike you are meant to be riding off the seat, which you can see me do multiple times during the ride.

Riding 100% trainer on slight hills has be changing gears all the time and I get into a bad High Red riding experience. Continue reading “Zwift Event : Aero Army Wyn TT Series on the 02-03-2021”
