Zwift Chat

[<Tommy>]

There is a trick to scrolling with the controller. I tried to describe it before but I probably failed to describe it well. I’ll try and make a short video later and put it up.

Speaking of videos... I actually watched most of norry’s race video last night (don’t judge me too badly... I was on a caffeine buzz and has one eye on events the other side of the pond!).

Anayways... the race video! Worth a watch if you have some spare time. Noticeable improvement in positioning from the first race. Everyone slotting in nicely, finding the right spot. A few big efforts to get back on. I’m not sure I should be allowed to use the words ‘very cool’. But hell, it was very cool!

Don't think I put the link on here.... our race starts at 14:42

Could definitely be tempted by that. I still don't know exactly how my laptop is managing to run zwift, it's almost completely packed it in otherwise (I have a work laptop but haven't plucked up the courage to email IT to ask them to install zwift)

I sometimes use my work laptop which works a treat, the problems lies in the updates and having to get permission for these - luckily I know the IT guy ( were friends on Strava ) so if he's available he's happy to help... 😉

Nice to watch and your teamwork is impressive.
Led me to look a team Saris.
Not sure if you've seen this but camera angles is an important tip something I've not used in the past.

I use a homeplug/powerline adaptor to hardwire the broadband to my ATV - worth considering if you don't have a cable long enough to reach your router

Powerline things - that might be the solution!!!

Great start

Great start

Yeah it was. But I expect all teams to learn that tip soon - so we need to find the next improvement

Powerline adapters solved all my issues with regard to wi-fi drops and slow downs. My only problem now is on Long descents when my Mammoth assisted speed sometimes out runs the 1080p video download from BRVR (high def videos). But that is only rarely and usually for a few seconds near the end of session/video.

Just to add to the guys ordering power line adapters. Get the one with WiFi as well as Ethernet cable outlet.

Marginal gains now isn’t it!

We did go through those things in a kind of trial and error fashion thanks Marino. The top two didn’t work for us. We’ve adopted the bottom three 👍

Rode my first Zwift race for two weeks earlier, finished in 4th place in the Cat. C ZHQ FutureWorks Crit City Race, kept up a good average speed on 6 laps of the Downtown Dolphin course.
Warmed up by riding a 28km loop around NE Bristol under lovely clear blue skies.... ☀ 👍

Do you not download the video before riding? When I do this I never get the video lag

Zwiftpower is down for planned maintenance the rest of this evening but all the power metrics were available from the #68 race earlier this afternoon and nothing particularly wild there.

Hopefully results from WTRL soon? Didn’t they make a rather bold statement last week that results this week and onwards would be almost immediate?!

How was your race last night @Brendan Parker and @Del C ?

Yer went well cheers mate. I thought we had done better than we had to be honest at the time. That bloody KOM so early on didn’t set me up so we’ll as have some lightweights in the team, but recovered ok. Only done TTT Before in latte which is a mix of B and C so hasn’t been that brutal before. Our captain was away for the first TTT in the ZCL so was the first one all together so happy, got us into eighth in the league i think.

Well done #68 sounds like had a few technicals but got a team across
And while we at it great ride from #23 👍🏼 Clearly should have been in league 1 I’d say. 🎯 😂
