Cornering sounds interesting?

Is there any sort of zwiftinsider type guides/YouTube channels that are worth looking at? I'll probably look for dcrainmaker and gplama

The IV discord was the Go To place when it was IndieVelo. I just tried to get an invite to post here, but it seems I don't have permissions to do that any more (if I ever did).

There's a lot less "knowledge" needed in TPv though as there isn't any gamification. For example, bike changes are purely cosmetic and bring no racing gains. There are no powerups.

I think the issue with cornering is that it forces you to slow down and if you're not careful you can "waste" power trying to press through.

Could we all just agree that it is TPV and not TVP? Thanks!

Hiya Dean - didn't realise you were on TVP too. How's your riding been, not seen you online for ages. All well with you?

Hit and miss 🥴
Haven’t used Zwift for about a year now so thought no need to be on here till now 😁.

Cancelled a number of Apps that I was paying for But not really using I’ll be using TVP from now on and I will pay for it when the time comes.

Thought about setting up a ride/race looks easy enough for us cyclechatters when there’s more of us on there.

Edit TPV 🤦‍♂️😁

My wife watches TVP sometimes. It's mostly crap though (mind you, UK TV ain't any better).

My nephew eats TVP because he’s a vegetarian but barely likes eating any vegetables 🤦

I think if slows you down when corner coming up and if you are not careful ( especially downhill) when your numbers go white again , if you don’t put power down just before then you can get left in the dust of people who caught it just right - just what seems to happen to me if I don’t try hard coming out of the corner

I think it is now the TrainingPeaks Virtual Discord site and it seems open for posting.

Oh it's open for posting, and I'm still on it, but normally you can create an invite link to post on forums etc. It won't let me.

TVP just seems so much easier to type haha

I'd certainly rather type it than watch it or eat it
