Momentarily second on the Strava segment!
Cote de Pike is a very pitchy climb, difficult to get a good rhythm. Perfect for Pidders tomorrow!

What do you think of it? A lot of people making a fuss about graphics but not sure what they were expecting. I think I prefer it to a random rendering of green and brown

I don't see a problem with the graphic's, simple clear indication of the gradient. They should try trainer-road

Yeah, people really don't have bigger problems, don't they? And then there's the benefit that, because of all this simplicity, the dev team can turnaround a new route super quick and spend the rest of their time on other useful features - of which there been many recently.

I know the result, haven't watched the highlights yet

I've got to give daughter's apple box back with GCN+ on it. They want to watch TDF themselves -meanies

Tell them it's broken and you need to hold onto it while you wait for the engineers to arrive

I scored 246 points on my fantasy league team which I thought wasn't bad until I saw I was 17th of about 24.
Was gonna post a screenshot, but realised it might be a slight spoiler for some.

Watching the full live replay now. Gotta love a 'serious' opening stage. And one less rest day because it's all local.

Had my first go at the climb portal

Really good, steering works, like the gradient colours

That's the first footage I've seen with other riders on it. I like it - sometimes zwift gives us what we've been asking for for years and people still complain.

To be clear I'm still going to complain about things we don't have 😁

Had a go today as well, did Cote de Pike a few times. It was packed with other riders.

I did it this afternoon too ... set trainer reality to same as outside bike for a real feel of gradient .... lots of ouchy! Strava has the segment at 12:10 for me. With what's going on for me this month I don't know how many of these I'll get to do, but I really enjoyed it.

I did the Col Des Arivas, slightly longer. I was trying out my lungs, started off casual and went a bit too deep, but my lungs cleared up afterwards. Still way off fitness from early part of year, its usual with my seasonal asthma around this time.
