Zwift Chat

[<Tommy>]

Yeah I’m not sure if they’re at all motivated to develop private races. Time will tell I guess.

I agree with bridgy in that we can join public races whenever we want. And maybe as the winter takes hold we could do one of each type every week. But the cc races have their own dynamic that builds race on race.

Obviously I wasn’t in the race so I can’t be sure. But starting the segment at slightly different times seems just as confusing as the finish to me in terms of gaging a final effort.

Updated league table. I don't want to talk about stage 3 ever again

Re do it on your own?

Oh wait, you already did that!









(Too soon?)

Yeah we have done this in the past - and no reason not to do again when it suits us. It's just more fun having a "closed" race with just the people you know on here - sometimes the organised races can be so big that you hardly see other cyclechat riders. Also, in our own races the dynamics of the race are set by us, rather than being dictated by the other riders in a public race.

I think (and hope) Zwift will improve the meet-up feature and allow us to do private races properly eventually. Unfortunately they seem to be spending more time developing features like steering at the moment!

It’s all set up apparently and waiting to be implemented. Just like steering. Probably don’t want to seem exclusionary given the premise of zwift is we want as many users as possible. They have a lot of investment to turn a return on.

Looks like Yorkshire is due to be the guest world on the next two Thursdays (and a lot of days in between) so will definitely try and set up a Yorkshire race for either next Thursday or the following

They need to keep users happy because Veloton looks amazing & everything I’ve ever wanted.
After Yorkshire we should have the Alpe. Not been up it for months now.

I've not seen Veloton, I'll have to look it up.

As for doing a race on the Alpe I'm very much up for that except for the fact the meet-up (on the Road to Sky route) has gone wrong and sent people off in different - and wrong - directions the last two times we've tried. Might have to settle for one of the mountain routes instead

How it should be. Ive got my own pace setter in the wife currently.

Any strong headwinds I can tuck away and have a breather, whilst she holds pace

Sorry to hear about the HID.
If you can wait until Sunday, we can do the ride together, if you fancy that?

Could do ... what time you thinking of riding?

Thanks ... Unfortunately HID is having a bad time as her MS advances ... we do get some good days though thankfully and these make up for the crappy days.

Whatever suits you - I got no plans for Sunday and the weather forecast says 9-17 m/s windspeed, and I’m not gonna ride outside with that much wind.

Yes, I hope you two make the best of the good days. When/at what age was she diagnosed with MS?
