Zwift Chat

I was buggered after Libby, got dropped off the front with two others near the top. But looking at the lineup on ZwiftRacing.app, there were some very strong riders in that race. Also got up at 0430 this morning to do an airport run, so starting the day with body battery of 60 😁

Feels odd to have been awake for 6 hours by 1030, been to Luton and back, Tescos and then a full warmup and race. Ready to start the day now

Just seen your effort, on the rivet, sawtooth effort to keep up in the pack

Yes I find most of my races have that sawtooth power pattern these days to try and stay in the pack and maintain position.
ZP has me as NP of 226 for that race and my FTP is 234 so that's 96.58% intensity for 25 minutes. No wonder I didn't have much left for the final climb Still. Hopefully it means I'm getting better. We will have to see.

I was thinking 'it's a short and easy ITT' in the FRR today. Turns out, I missed the fact that it's 1.7 laps again

FRR don't do easy do they?

At least there's a bike selection. Unlike that ITT up the Alpe on an entry-level frame

I'm feeling a bit better, I think. If I manage 250 average I may do the Alpe stage of the hill climb series week after next and try a PB.

[EDIT]:
252 average, but I'm 0.5kg heavier.

Rolls - Interesting new zwift alternative? Graphics very impressive, but obviously there's plenty of alternatives that have looked promising but failed to deliver.

Should be good to see if it develops or at very least lights a fire under zwift hq. Always good to have a temporarily free alternative

Minus 8.1 killer weebles! Time to adjust your settings. Good work!

You forgot to drop the kids off at the pool

The Diamond is because I’ve been artificially beating strong A riders in the hill climb series because they haven’t been reading the rubric carefully…

It's good to see new platforms to give people an opportunity to try for free indoor riding.

I think the ship has sailed for a newcomer to topple or even be worthy competition for Zwift

Major investment is required for development which means subscription, too low and they can't afford enough developers to bring feature rich experience. Ultimately subscriber numbers will decide, all the other platforms really haven't dented Zwift user base

Adding steering controller and allowing certain bikes to do it now is good timing.

New features coming along fairly frequently now. Coffee break, bots etc etc.

Just wondering when Zwift release toilet break feature, longer break for diarrhea and shorter break for the quicker delivery. Looking forward that Rolla app as well. Hope it feels like it should be and graphic is at least good as Zwift, then there's a small chance to survive.

Tom dumoulin has been lobbying hard for this feature
