My will was really tested today. Went out to do a Z2 ride but the area is quite hilly. Definitely drifted into Z3 on the steepest bits - but not too much and not for long. Also, didn't have the cojones to pedal harder downhill in crosswinds. But overall, not too bad. Wish I had a Robopacer next to meYou young'uns got no willpower
Wow. Really useful features. Did they hire someone new, that actually listens to users?
I've noticed a few of the group rides now have a 5 min break.. Useful, enhances the ride, after all these are group rides.
Im liking the Viking's Valhalla rides with a barrier to keep the pace in check for first half, a break, but also the barrier is dispensed with at half way for those who don't want to stop and would like to push on into higher Z2. The organisers are cool with the group ride splintering after the break.

And...
This new addition will put you in a new Zwift environment replicating places in the real world. Expect legendary grades and iconic switchbacks with other riders. Zwift says that at launch (in the summer), two of the climbs available through the portal will be Col du Tourmalet and Col d’Aspin, both storied for their prominence in some of history’s most exciting bike races.

Like Peter said above I'm starting to worry this is them trolling us with useful features
Do they mean a separate Zwift login for video playback or just another world with game type clones of the real climbs?
Found a few reports online ta for the heads up Bob

So they've announced one feature coming in "May" (coffee stop), and SIX new features coming in "the Summer" (teleport, new action bar, climb portal, keep everyone together, clubs notification controls, and player highlight).
I am really pleased that they've got all of this planned, but can't help but think they're letting the cat out of the bag too early. If they just got on with announcing one new feature every month between now and September as they're ready for release we might suddenly go "wow Zwift have sorted out their development, we are getting consistent feature releases". Instead it feels like they're setting themselves up to fail here, and to me it all just sounds like it's coming "zoon".

That's just what I thought when I read it, Nick - I'll believe it when I see it.

Yeah, possibly. If subscriber numbers are already down then they may be concerned about loss of northern hemisphere riders now spring is here. Its one way to keep subs up though, as you say, they could end up hoisted by their own petard!

I dunno why they don't offer an annual subscription for the cost of 10 months? That would keep people subscribed
Great shout. I'd pay that as even in the summer it is hand to have Zwift as a backup just in case the weather ruins your outdoor riding weekend.
Isn't it odd how when you sometimes feel a bit crap, some of best results pop up
I was feeling a bit flat partly from Tuesday 2hour ride which really took it out of me and being fasted from yesterday
So I decided to glucose loads whilst warming up, drank 500 mil water 85 grams of castor sugar.
Boom 💥💥💥
Felt strong, held good position each time up to the Arc.
1000W sprint reappeared
Came third in the race, promotion to 🥈

ZZ top really worked a treat too

Nice one!
After doing 7 laps of that course on Sunday, I'm not bothering with that one. Did a TTT this morning though. 2 laps of Horrorgate.

Are you still in the new dirt B squad Alex? Those guys are very powerful
