Zwift Chat

[Whorty]

I agree. When i watch Movistar documentary there was a good tip how to ride when it start to hurt, close your eyes . Anyway always give your best when you compete if you like to show how good you are...that day.

If you're a pro, maybe, but I'm not. Sometimes I just can't go harder as my chest starts to burn and my asthma starts to play up. My health is far more important than winning. Plus, I'm not just bothered about showing how good I am, I want to have a good time too.

Yesterday I could have dropped the other rider over the top of the KoM as I had a few metres on him and he dropped his power (I assume to recover). But I messaged him to get on my wheel and I dragged him to the finish line. I didn't have to but I like riding with others and this gave me more pleasure than just beating him. Just my way I guess. Not the first time I've done that, certainly won't be the last

I'm riding my first Crit race tomorrow .............. as a B cat

I'm very much hoping to make it out of the pen before I get spat out the back!

That was my first experience of the Danish B .... interesting though, had I been in the B race yesterday (that I did in C) I may have podiumed! It's those damn Danish guys and their crazy starts

I'm guessing this will be the last c race for Carl tomorrow. It's gonna be brutal from the off

Brutal from the off will probably mean I can't hold on long enough to get a decent 20 minute power ... I'm normally struggling by 10 minutes at the paces these guys go at. Ironically, a less frenetic start and I'd hold on longer and post a higher w/kg

Sorry, i forgot your asthma. That's a good reason to set a limit your rides. You don't have to show how good you are, i would like to do that but i can't

My power profile also tells me I am a Time Trialler. To be fair, most Zwift Racing (apart from the starts) is fairly steady state compared to IRL racing.

Has anyone tried out RGT or Rouvy now they are offering their service free during the current Coronavirus crisis?

Any feedback?

 

[Freelanderuk]

Is there a resistance problem on the NEO? Can't say I've experienced any issues personally ....

It was something I saw on the Neo Facebook page, someone had had a problem and this was mentioned

tried both - both have the good and bad bits much like zwift/bkool also believe brvr is giving free trial where you can add 5ghosts and see live riders on the time line

Do you have to download a new version? The last ride I did a few weeks ago had an upgrade and a window popped up with another riders time in the upper left side but didn’t see them.

you cant see anyone on the mainscreen video but on the graphics map you can see ghosts and live riders as blobs and see their watts and time in top left

My target tomorrow needs to be try and help you to stay in the lead group as long as possible, and if I can to hold on to my own top 10 position. I'll have to make a note of my main competitors before the start, so i know who to watch

With all the sprints tomorrow, you have to be in contention for some of those if you want to keep it.
