Worldwide Disaster Day 2021 "Official" Thread

For anyone with no events planned for between now and WWDD who will be doing their first participation.

I suggest a turkey day/week (Thanksgiving) Disaster -1 or -2 to get you in the mindset and to get a nice taste. Then the full in a couple weeks or -1 if you did -2 and it made you want to quit cycling :joy:

I agree, just 4 hours on an indoor trainer isn’t for me, a little over 2 hours is my limit. Just isn’t my idea of a fun challenge. I’d say comfort on the indoor bike is my biggest factor (yes I’ve had a bike, fit, gone through about 4 saddles, and have high quality bibs).

I’d rather ride outside in the cold for 4 hours.

i’ve done 6 on zwift and i know a few breaks in the middle helped me…a welcomed the mid ride bathroom break!

I’m in.

It’s going to be fun to drop WWDD right in the middle of my Full Ironman Base Plan.

Thank you @zwillis1 , @MK_2, and @N8lewis for bringing us together for another year!

The minus versions are plenty spicy on their own! If -2 is a challenge to you, get after it!

This is the advice of champions. Maybe we should make a pre-WWDD -2 attempt at the end of the month.

I’ll be around eight weeks in to the full distance plan by December 11th!

A question for those interested in the t-shirt!

We’ve had the design from the incomparable @Double-A since the beginning, but just to get a sense of people’s feelings, we’d like to do a quick survey to see if people would like a re-design, or if we should stick with the ole’ classic!

Regardless of feedback, all proceeds will still go to World Bicycle Relief!

So which version are you going to sign up for!?

Have to be honest…Disaster showed up as “Not Recommended” by AT. Definitely a bug, right @Nate_Pearson ?

I’ve put Distaster -2 in for the 11th. Might try stepping up before then for -1 but doubt I could tough out >3hrs on the turbo or rollers.

I’ve rationalised it as a fitness test though…see how I get on and then try it again in 8-10 weeks for a comparison…
