Zwift Chat

Initial league created with the early times posted......

Well done to all who rode last night. A spot of unceremonious wheel-sucking has provided me with a good start

As always, let me know if I've missed anyone or have entered an incorrect time.

I was watching you at the back and trying to get you to come through.
Spent the first half trying to get used to the latency I get on my trainer.
That is how I first escaped, ish, on Box Hill and then after the escalators.
That is why I dashed for the escslators because if anyone made a move I would probably miss it. But as you lot all sprinted by me I put in an extra dig and it had no effect untill a few moments later and the we had a gap.

It was all I could do to hang on to your wheel for the last 1km @AAAC 76C, I didn't have it in me to try and get around you! 😅

Let me know if you'd like to join the league AAAC. You'll just need to make sure that Strava is linked to Zwift so that you can retrieve the segment time. If you haven't got it from yesterday, then you can have the same time as me as I was only a couple of metres behind when we went through the segment finish banner.

I'm on the cheap version of Strava, free. For what I use it for, showing people what I've done, I don't need anything more enhanced. Anyway I'm only doing indoor gym workouts at the moment so don't need anything the super analytic versions provide. You can get the segment times on the free version so I have no need to pay anything.

Did anybody else notice that when joining Zwift yesterday it added .5 of a mile to the distance on the top read out but the list where it shows who are riding was correct, happened to me 4 times yesterday

See what happened in another race yesterday with the distance to the finish line, never seen that happen before:

It happened to me once, I thought I'd nearly finished the event and 0.5 mile was added. It crushed my push for the line

Free for me too 👍

Ooops, that's a nasty surprise. It doesn't matter if you know/remember the actual distance of event but certainly it gives an extra tension.

Ive switched to Bluetooth to connect the Neo for reading power. Ant+ to control the resistance

you think that makes a difference Andy? I might try it.

Yes, I was surprised that no one tried to make a move going into the last 1 km. So I just stayed at the front, saving something for the sprint. But when it started counting upwards, I sat up for a few seconds thinking WTF, and the group sailed away...

Anyone want a couple of tubless presta valves?

It does seem to read the changes slightly quicker, we are not talking alot, but I tend not to notice the lag now that I had when just using Ant+ for all sensors. Give it a try

There is no cost to basic Strava. Just create an account, link Zwift to it.

You dont need to do anything else. Every time you race or ride for fun and save when leaving Zwift, it uploads.

Then others can see the rides(if you allow-privacy) and segments can be picked out like we do for the events you did yesterday. Your results then can be added to the league. There is no other reliable way with Zwift.

iirc Bkool can be linked as well. I seem to remember I had it linked to my Garmin account when I was on there.
