Hi nick quick question as I am setting up my own streaming. Do you play music on ur computer and pullit into stream software or is it playing externally and your mic is picking it up? Cheers in advance. I go live next week.

@@craigharper3665 hi Craig, yes I am pulling from laptop into streaming software. I am recording the ride in OBS. I am then using a VLC plugin for OBS. I then download licence free songs from KZbin onto the laptop. From there I create a playlist in the VLC plugin that automatically plays when i record. I am no expert but this works for me! Happy to give more info if you need..

@@MrLootshoot there were a fair few riders who I would not have expected to be in a cat c race, so I don’t think cat enforcement was working. I didn’t really notice much difference from a ZRS race.

Everyone who was sandbagging is now putting out their real numbers, hence the madness in every event under ZRS. BTW I've gone from 492 to 569 to 510 to 442 in 24hrs😵‍💫it's a shambles.....

You are right, but TBH I was mentally defeated with a KM to go, needed to be more aggressive, and nearer the front - all thinking around the aero went out the window.

I just love to ride, around 100 km a day average for the last 2 years. 3 hrs rest and I'm ready to go again. I was nearly dropped 3 times there, any proper lumps in the road whatsoever against those guys and I'm a goner!!! As soon as I'm upgraded I'm going to get totally hammered.......

@@nicklaughton3163 First climb to Shisa sprint was bloody mental, I was at 5.5w/kg and got properly spat after that I just sat on the back of a 5 man group. Looking at the KOM times when we got there the climbing was intense. I dropped my group up Temple and bridged to another couple to the finish. Finished at 2.6w/kg so didn't stress myself too much was the front was long gone.

In summary: 7th day of racing and I can feel it in legs. Emma Kim is new to Zwift (or recently returned) but cracked the whip. Really felt the pace up the first hill but managed to time a surge just enough to jump into tail of front group. Second climb and was dropped on second half. Could not keep up with the push. Respect to the Rhino guys and other front four for strong finish.
