    Thanks for your content. Great to hear you mention Wageningen. I lived there from 1988 until 1997 and worked at LUW. Bought my first proper bikes from Stormvogel and raced for AXA Valleirenners. Happy days.

    Really enjoy your content! This may sound funny but I enjoy how happy you are with yourself after a big effort. Many times you look at your power curve at the end of the ride and it’s way under your best ever but you’re almost always content with effort. Sounds silly but I’m always the opposite and my mindset lead to some burnout this year. I appreciate folks like you that like progress but clearly just love riding too.
    You’re a beast! Looking forward to seeing some 2025 racing on your channel 🏆💪

      Thank you Andy. The power curve is indeed something that I struggled with in the past. But I surrendered to the fact that I’ll never be on the level I was before I got hit for the first time by the virus. So I take all the positives I can get meaning when I set a new power PR I am really really happy. Also riding with friends and subscribers also a very good boost voor my overall happiness. See you in Watopia!!! Thank you for your kind words!

    Merry Christmas Gerben! Glad to see you doing the Rapha challenge too. I am currently 73 miles into the 310 mile ride. I am hoping my legs will survive the whole thing. I lost 2.5lbs on yesterday's ride so that can't go on.

    10,000 km is a good number for the year. We're on the same page there - that's been my consistent target the past 3 years - 10,000 km distance and 100,000m elevation.
    2,000 subscribers is also a great accomplishment for the year. You've got me by a landslide there - I think I have more videos than subscribers 🤣 Something to fix in 2025.

    Merry Christmas Gerben and all viewers. I was on C ride earlier and it was a race on the front, I sticked with the front but with no warm up it was a bad idea. Coco was left in the dust miles behind. I will try a B ride and an A ride to see if there is a difference with a C race.

    • @RideWithGerben
      @RideWithGerben  21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @pascalbocherel7785 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @ even with a pace bot in my ride, over 50 riders pushed harder and harder, last 2 laps only around 30 were still present and around 20 for final lap. I thought it was going to be a normal C ride but it seems that Zwift new power ranking cleanup and strange race dynamics got into the ride/race creating what I have experienced.

  • @boohurns4080
    @boohurns4080 21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Did the same event , registered for C group, which was advertised at 2.6wkg, as this is a community ride and not a race I was hoping to ride with Coco at target pace with a large group. But no, I never found any C group at that pace and eventually found a D group, but even then they were doing surges when there were elevation. Anyway for people wanting to ride at a steady pace you are better riding with the regular pacing groups.
