Zwift Chat

I am thinking of starting a thread in the Main Forum aimed at people who do structured workouts. We have a place here to encourage each other / brag / describe our races but it might be good to have somewhere dedicated to similar but for workouts.

Do you guys think that would be a good thing to do? Would you engage with it?

 

[BurningLegs]

Yeah, I reckon

I never do workouts so probably wouldn't visit it often. But plenty of people do.

I doubt you’re the only one on this forum that hears those noises 😁

I'm more concerned about what the voices might tell him to do

Muckle me buckle- that was a tough course, lots of sharp stabby climbs. Oh and a couple of longer ones. The 5 min climb saw me distanced from the lead pack. I tried to ride in with just one other, but Sauce indicated there was a group of 17 catching quick. I sat up after the Brae and joined them. Held on for the sprint but was pretty gassed, fell short on the sprint.

Just done the 18.10 event ,agreed tough course . Looks like I was 7 sec slower than you . Went for a long one off the Cylde kicker ,was at the back of the group of 10 as we hit the climb dropped a feather at the start of the steep ramp and pushed over the top with 1 other rider we got caught on the sprint to the line !!

Did a group ride with about 50 riders and my laptop struggled with it , very poor frame rates and riders ( but not the bikes ) kept flickering in and out.
I only stuck with it as the xp clocked up to 2.5 times 1!
i think its just my bog standard laptop struggling as i only have 8 gb with an integrated on chip gx chip, the only other " game " i play is a 15 ish year old MMOG that you could run on an abacus .

Fairly decent PC will give a much better experience. Or cheap alternative, apple 4k TV box

i only tend to use zwift if the weathers too crap or i cant get out like this week as mrs ck in hospital so i have 2 kids to keep so no going out on rides .
Cant really afford anything better as we have 2 weeks short time atm ( which fell right for me with mrsck as i would be off anyway )

Agreed, not a course to ride on at the last minute without a warmup, and not long after dinner.

I had a short circuit on the first time up the climb, was pushing with the front 10 riders and legs just pulled the handbrake, eventually went over with a group of 5 in around 45-50th. Was more fun having a tactical battle with chilled pace on the flats but fitness for medium climbs is still poor

Some of my personal favs are “A very dark place”,

Ah that brings back memories of following that Sufferfest video on the dumb trainer, winding up the resistance as far as it would go to get to level 10/10 perceiced exertion, listening along to Deep Sea Diver by Heifervescent. “The good old days” 😂 ….. Dont tell me - You younger lot will need to Google what a dumb trainer is, but Google can’t replicate the feeling f staring at the wall counting your intervals 😂

😬 Makes it look as smooth as one of the best downhill slalom skiers only on tarmac and wearing Lycra. What about the pedal clipping the road @1:15 - could have been messy.
