Nice one Derek , ye look like ye could get another cut on the back lawn before the dirty weather comes in !🤣🤣🤣 (I was told that this week by my Missus about our back garden 🙄 !!!!)
I was glad you didn’t 🤣 you had me worried at one stage, you made a great effort to get back on your own. I enjoyed it myself, hard to get back to the racing. Complete lung buster
@@derekfeehan, I would have needed ye to look at each other a while longer. When I saw yer man hitting 18W/kg in the sprint I was kinda glad I couldn’t bridge 🤣
@@derekfeehan hopefully in the next few weeks. My new manager wants to assess me before she signs off on it. 🤣 But soon I'll be cruising around hopefully.
Had a hard time getting my factory tire off to replace a tube. Try to squeeze the tire beads on both sides to the center deeper channel of the rim and might be able to easier get a tire lever in, saw that on a vid. Tubeless ready tires are really tight on the edges. Cheers on the 2nd! 👍 @@derekfeehan
Getting the tyre off could have been another video altogether. It was a mission. Ended up having to stand on the tyre and pull the rim to get it off. If it happened on the road I’d be screwed 🫣
You must weigh about the same as me, I feel your pain. Zwift hates the heavier rider, these skinny lads that can sit at 200w and bang out 3.2w/kg take some beating.
Carrying the extra few kgs is a killer. Massive effort going on now to get it back down 💪 it’s when you do something like ya really see how it hurts the performance
Derek. Embarrassing question. I'm new enough to cycling. Done one triathlon and one 70km spin. One major issue, u don't know how to change a tube. I know ""how"" to do it, but my problem is when I put the new tube in and inflate it a tiny bit, I can't ever get the tire over both sides of the rim. So, because of this, my 70km spin consisted of repeating a 10km loop, incase I got a flat and had to run home. It's awful Embarrassing, and I'd enjoy it much more if I had the confidence to change it. Do you have any video links on the most practical way to change a tube and getting the tire back on the rim thanks
I’m cycling 18 years and today I admitted defeat with a tyre. Had to drive up to Specialized to get them to sort a tyre and tube so don’t feel bad 🤣 sounds like you’re inflating that tube a tad too much before you put on the tyre. Only needs a tiny bit of air. Sounds like you changed it without issue then if you did 70km in small laps. If it doesn’t go down in a few minutes after changing it, it’s 9/10 done right 🤙 so well done. I don’t have links but there must a million vids on RUclips for changing a tyre. Sounds like you know the principles of it, you just need to trust your self. Keep it up 🚲
Awe man I’m still in cat D but what’s the crack with the bike settings is there resistance a lot less than yours that American put out savage watts would that have something got to do with it ?
Are you on about for the sprint? I just made a mess of it and never got it going. I stupidly thought he hadnt anything in the tank and I was pulling away easily. Big error on my part
@@derekfeehanI am but you know when you set the bike up at the start you can set the resistance or change it I know he caught you on the hop but for a Cat C race that was savage power
I found that as well, I thought we’d stay in a bunch till the end. Really I use for a good blow out. I’d never go that hard in a training ride. Sound Dave 😀🤙
I love your attitude! So upbeat, great race!
Appreciate that, thank you pal 😀🤙
Nice one Derek , ye look like ye could get another cut on the back lawn before the dirty weather comes in !🤣🤣🤣 (I was told that this week by my Missus about our back garden 🙄 !!!!)
We’ve a small bit of grass, it’s the absolute bane of my life 🤣
Great video. Love the honest commentary.
Thanks a lot mick. Last minute effort to try get a vid out, not sure what I was putting together 🤣🤙
Enjoyed this one derek! More zwift racing!
Thanks a lot Liam. Might try get one in the end of every month. Try seem some progress
Your laugh 😆 Made me chuckle. I can imagine you losing your shit when you were racing.
Think I’m going to invest in a microphone and give the full version of it 🤣 thanks a million Daryl 🤙
Great video was waiting to hear a few f** here and there , but u had the voice over to hide that 🤔😉🤣 well done on the second place 👏
Need to get a microphone for it. Would definitely make it better to get on second response. Hopefully it will keep improving 🤙
@derekfeehan a was good anyway I enjoyed it 💥💥 would definitely watch more 👌
Great Video Derek. I couldn’t get the rest of them to work with me. 😂

@ it frightened the life out of me 🤣
Well done - try a TIme Trial , cycling weekly 10miler on Wednesdays at 6pm. Everyone goes together which As to Ds .
Some pal, will definitely look into it 😀👊
Some man Derek.
Hope you’re still getting out TJ, any word on the new bike?
@@derekfeehan hopefully in the next few weeks. My new manager wants to assess me before she signs off on it. 🤣 But soon I'll be cruising around hopefully.
@Tjfitzster it will be a nice Xmas present to yourself 🤣
Well done derek tyre wouldn't budge but you still cycled on the zwift my you worked up a sweat on it looking forward to next weeks video 😊
Still haven’t managed to get the tyre off 🫣 running out of ideas at this stage 🤣

I never like the trainer unless its snowing like it is today 😂 You"ll be winning races once you get some practice in 👍 🍻
Hopefully once I remember to change gears and shed the kgs it will all come back🤣 👊 sound pal

But you destroy us on the flat and downhill
@CycleWithMatts it has its advantages 🤣 but things are in full swing. Weight is coming off. The party is over. Need to get back to normal 👊

I have to change but I keep forgetting about it 🫣 but yeah your man nailed the power. Cracking effort from him.
how do you like the zwift bike as a full figured rider?
Can’t fault the bike pal, it does exactly as
You’d expect it to. No complaints here
11w/kg wow.
I was lucky enough not to see it at the time, I’d have stopped 🤣
did he hit 17 w/kg????
If not 18 w/kg. Think I had 18 mtr gap and it was gone in the blink of an eye 😂
Problem with Zwift is you don’t ride your own plan and it’s boring. I always get dragged into other people’s plans. 😮 not for me D … ride on 👍
I found that as well, I thought we’d stay in a bunch till the end. Really I use for a good blow out. I’d never go that hard in a training ride. Sound Dave 😀🤙
