Jo's going away with the kids for the first half of half-term, so I'm looking to tick off the Mega Pretzel in the ZwiftInsider Epic Ride, probably on the evening of 29/10.

Just watched Victor Campenaerts doing the ZRL Yorkshire. Standing cadence 85-95rpm, the way he maintains power up the climbs is amazing. These elite professional riders are something to watch.
Pot hill second time around

He fluffed his finish- happens to the best of us

That headbanging is worth 200W
Yup, you can just do the route and it will count. You don't get the double XP though.

Good to know, I thought it's a bug. Don't remember was that possible previous Tours. I'm almost in level 60 so no extra XP required, I'm almost there.

It was certainly possible in the previous one, don't know before that. Worth noting that you can do any stage at any point while the tour is taking place - i.e. if you do stage 5 route today it will count. I did that with stage 2 already:

I guess Zwift want that users have more and more different kit's if you like to join event or not. No problems, that just fine by me. I asked about that from the Zwift forum as well and previously it was used to in Tour in Makuri Islands as well where was possible to accomplished Tour without join the events.

I was testing Zwift portal climbs today. Today was Puy De Dome nearly 13km climb available, I climb only bit over 10km but it felt that those portal climbs are stimulation what I might need. I need more power to my legs and I have a feeling those portal climbs can help me for that, they a good challenge as well.
Done everything of 1.5 hrs and less , I just get bored after that time period so the longer routes remain

Same. Long rides on Zwift don't really do it for me. I did the 25 laps of Volcano circuit which was a bit over 3 hours and then questioned my life choices.
Just a bit boring. I think the longest race I did was 70km. That was OK, but not something I'd want to do too often.Today's race was about 20 minutes, but the actual race was just Yorkshire KoM fwd FTS, which was 2:37 at 358W.
My first proper win in B 🏆 (by proper win, I mean a race that has other people in it
)

Uber Pretzel plus a bit more to take it over 100 miles took me 7 hours, I'm sure one of the routes took me over 8 hours, but I'd need to go check
Even that too much for me. 4 hours is around my max previous ride. These days 3 hours is plenty of Z2
Do you do them on 100% Trainer?
