Perfect thanks @Marjaana
Have completed the spreadsheet so will see if the timing here in AUS works out v US time. Also is there an Athletica Zwift jersey available? I used to Zwift race with 4 Star Racing, an NZ based Zwift team so currently rocking their kit but would change to Athletica if the virtual kit was available.
Awesome! Thanks for filling that out. I will keep in touch !
We are not big enough to have our own jerseys, last round we chose the bumble bee jerseys I’ve requests our own but was politely declined.
Hey @jockefc23 and @Adam_Tri_Hard I’ve sent you an invite to WhatsApp group. Please let me know it you have not received and I will send a link here privately.
Hi Marjaana,
I’ve completed the form and selected 7pm and optimistically all the dates! I am flexible with the race time and happy to step out or in to share the fun.

Given the name, this one is meant to be all about the hills. But during the recon, I felt that the first one was the only real grind. And even it was over quickly, I thought. The second hill is even shorter. For us NA folks, if this week is any like the prior, we’ll pack up through most of the race leaving the final couple minutes the deciding factor.
Seems we’ll get appropriate powerups for each section of the race ( e.g., feather before the climbs, an anvil at the top of the first big climb, aero for the long stretch before the final…did I miss any?). Key to pay attention to the topo with these as, for example, I figure the anvil works best a bit further down the decline when the road steepens a bit before flattening out again. Should certainly help lighter riders stick to the front if any folks push the pace.
This is a scratch race, so every spot up the list counts! Helps to have as many riders (up to the max 6), too, to grab extra points.
Gonna be fun!
What bike do you think this week? The YouTube video I watched suggested Pinarello 2024 with disc wheels…
I’ll go into the starting box on the Dogma '24 w/ the skinny DTs, then scan the group to see what the smarter kids are wearing!
