Zwift Chat

GPlama has a new video on setting up group meet ups

Thanks Bob. I was aware of most of those but there were one or two useful tips I didn't know about.

One thing I did read today about meetups which I haven't tried is using it as a bit of a hack to enable you to ride a different route once you have finished riding where you are, without having to close down zwift and re-start it (which as we all know is a pain - less so for ATV users though I think). Anyway, the tip was, when you've nearly finished riding the route you're on, set up a meetup on the companion app on a different route to start in 10 minutes or so time. You'll have to invite at least 1 other rider but it doesn't matter if they turn up or not. Then, keep riding, and you should get the invite to join the new meetup pop up - accept that and you'll be transported to the new route you want to ride without having to switch off and re-start.

As I say, I haven't actually tried the above but thought I'd mention in case useful for anyone - I guess it could be useful if you're trying to get the badges for all the different routes

Hopefully the choose any world for meet ups thing comes to pass soon. I think that’ll be a massive improvement.

Was doing some easy stuff and close to 40kph at 120 watts didn't seem right. Not even on the Trek Madone with aero wheels. :/

Just did a group ride with 1200 riders, I got no draft, lots of other complaining as well. But plenty had is as I was doing 3.5wkg and getting dropped by riders doing 1.5. after the hour group ride ended I got draft back

Did you update the Zwift?. Anyway there is some bug/bugs after update. For example i joined to Ascenders group ride today and when i was do my warm-up in a pen i saw the riders in nearby, but when we started to ride all riders in nearby disappeared from Zwift and Companion App.

Also still lots of riders passing at stupid speed so they haven't fixed that properly

i like the orange one

I cant think why, yum yum

My Mrs, generally sticks her bike straight in top gear, and adjusts the assist level for most slopes and hills.

Correctly geared, there is no real need for gears with 250-500W peak power on tap

It was fine for me tonight. But maybe appletv doesn’t have the update yet. Anyone know how to check I can’t remember.

Yes it's already here.

I used it to set up my club's virtual club run last Saturday.

Nice, emptier roads in Yorkshire!!

Mine had updated when I rode tonight.

Go to the App Store and check on Purchased Apps. You may have to select on this Apple TV. Can't remember but its obvious when you get the screen up. Then tap on Zwift. There's a white button on the screen. If it says Update, it hasn't updated. If is says Open, then it has updated.
