Zwift Chat

Just popped along side Al at 138km and he was around 3w/k. Hugely impressive but also completely bonkers.

The quicker you go, the sooner you are finished!

Is there a statistic/record how many times in a row somebody is ride to Alpe du Zwift?

Probably.

Probably.

There was an article somewhere of someone who did a virtual double everesting, just over 24 hours riding

Hey, i remember at least one double everesting. It wasn’t long ago when guy called Francis Cade did that. It was live stream on youtube, might be still some material left in there.

 

[kipster]

I think a few have done the double, but yes Cade comes up on a Google search

Haven't even done a century yet mate! And one climb of the alpe has always felt like enough. Its not something I'd rule out but at this point in my life I just can't spend enough time on the training or the one off event. And that's before lack of ability comes into it!

I know you what mean. No idea if I could come close to 8 ascents!

Hey Michael weren’t you signed up to ride London this year? I’m assuming you’ve got the same email as me saying no deferrals and no refunds this year. Bit of a bummer eh...

Let the poor sod do it once before we start talking about doubles! (and trebles 😄)

I'm fairly new to Zwift & really enjoying it... 👍
My only problem lies in using an approx. 7 year old laptop to run it. I use ant+ to connect to my smart trainer but the slow running laptop is not always helping the smooth running of the 'game'.
I've tried downloading Zwift to my daughters tablets but neither are compatible!

What other set ups do people use / recommend ?

Thanks for all the recommendations guys... 👍

Just downloaded the app to my mobile & ridden Yorkshire circuit, what a totally different experience, great graphics with no delay or buffering.

I will look at a more permanent solution over the coming weeks... 😉

Ride on... 👍

The e-mail I got said you do get a full refund (although you may have to wait until 31st July).

Yeah it's the right call but sad that they can't do deferrals. I think as @steverob said there are full refunds?

ah maybe that’s the difference between charity and normal places. Glad you got a refund though 👍. I’m mostly bummed about the lack of deferral. I had to defer last year after busting my wrist so it’s a bit of a chain of events.

hey guys. Just checking in. In ascent 8 of 8.5. Another 2 hrs I reckon. I’ll give you all the juicy details later. The wheels came off the last ascent as the sector time below shows. But a rest food and gel and I’m feeling a bit better. Thanks for all the support and sorry if I didn’t reply. I was in a dark place for a couple of hrs.

 

[<Tommy>]

10 hours so far. He’s just turned into the 6th corner of ascent number 8. I’m watching him but I can’t imagine what it’s like. 10 hours on the bike! And still looking strong. Brilliant stuff Alan! 💪💪

 

[Del C]

I'm watching him as well.

Just passed turn three with a couple of friends for company.

He's still averaging around 220w which is awesome after 10 hours on the bike!
