Geoff,
I read your post earlier about weight loss and riding. Chapeau to you!
Have you thought about doing sub 2w rides with any of the riding groups on zwift? I find them good for recovery rides or simply to get miles in the legs. There are sub 1.5w group rides too. There are often more than a 100 people riding and a lot of banter over dischord. Perhaps not surprisingly, whilst many will be newcomers to riding and so riding to fitness many are also recovering from significant injury or similar. I would highyly recommend the Zsun or Pack rides , if you interested.
Thanks, but sorry to say, I tried Zwift and didn't like it, too much like a computer game, and not enough like a cycle ride! And not being able to ride all the different courses was limiting for me.
However, as a KICKR owner I did get frustrated with Bkool, especially when they took a year to fix the slowing to a halt on a decent while bkool users whizzed off at 40+ mph! The only saving grace to having to take a year off after my second stroke was that I missed most of that time. Now, of course, the idea of racing without exertion is a non starter, so it hardly matters.
I may try the trainer again come winter, but while I was having regular visual problems, exercising hard while staring at a back-lit screen was making me too anxious! I guess having provoked the second stroke on the trainer gave too strong a negative association!
I do have a few anxious moments after a hard ride outside, but so far no problems which couldn't be put down to possible coincidence.
Hopefully as time passes I'll get more confidence...
going to hide that one from HID
