usually riding on Zwift...

Just did a group workout on Zwift and the rubberbanding was truly horrific! I’ve done 3 of the ZA workouts as group activities and the previous two had been okay, but the group dynamic was really odd this morning: we were spread out across the width of the road at all times (with occasional lateral position changes), and yoyoing between 15-25kph constantly. Because our speed was changing, the interval arches kept moving back and forth on the road, and because we were all alongside each other, the rider list on the RHS of the screen was just a constant flicker.
I ended up riding with my eyes closed and listening to the radio!
From now on, I’ll give the group workouts a miss, especially since they’re available as individual workouts to do whenever you like.
On a similar subject, I’m trying to persuade my brother to do a synched ramp test with me. Being roughly the same height and weight, if we do it on a flat course, we ought to be pretty much in the same place on the road at all times, and we’ll hit the same power at the same time, which will hopefully spur us both on somewhat! ⚡️⚡️

Drafting skills, course knowledge etc. all play a part too, so trying to maximise all that.
