Did the Innsbruck course thie morning. 3 laps

And 4 times over the leg snapper.

Died on the last lap on LS. Good morning workout 4thZP

Video to follow as usual

I'm doing the 3R 1505 2-lapper in B as my morning got hijacked (it took me 3 hours to change the doors on our new fridge freezer from left-opening to right-opening - and the instructions were sh*t 😡)

Horrible isn’t it

I always go too quickly up the first time and knacker myself out for the rest of the race.

It was mass start from all Cats merging out of the pens. I jumped on the front pack with the A/B riders. Two other C came with me. Stayed with them till the first Leg Snapper. I was hoping to find a few low level B and C to stay with, but they were far too strong. I was then solo in no man's land. I allowed the main leading C pack to catch me. We then rode around till the final climb. I was then out of matches to contest for places.

Gotta say it’s much nicer watching you ride up than riding up it myself

Didn't see this but I finish at 3 on Fridays and @Norry1 is sometimes there so was pleasantly surprised to see a splitter!

I decided to was going to empty myself on the legsnapper as legs feeling fresh, got lucky as the fastest A went with me and strung out the pack and me and another B limped home on the A coat tails.

Question! I did a climb today and as I slogged away I saw the little graphic in the top right corner which showed the elevation profile! Found that very helpful! But is there any way to make it bigger? It’s so tiny I could barely see it!!

Thank you!

With my ageing eyes, since starting Zwift, I've gone from a laptop screen to a 32" TV monitor, now to a 4K 65" TV, which is a bit nearer 👓👓😎

I suggest getting a bigger screen. It is a poor feature of Zwift.

Have you ridden the climb portal routes?. They have better graphics with clearer indication of gradients

Thank you! That’s such a shame about the regular graphic. I have it on my phone so the graphic is tiny! You should be able to switch to that as your main screen!!!

You maybe able to cast or link your phone screen to a suitable TV.

I have a USB C to HDMi cable for when we stay in hotels to play movies from my phone. No silly hotel charges for premium films

I have done 1 portal climb, Cote de Domancy. I kind of like it and looking forward to ride more portal climbs.

I forgot to mention in the recent firmware, for the Zwift play steering controller. When you exit the Zwift app, the controllers power off too. That didn't happen when I first got them. I accidentally left them on and they went flat.

Andy, I noticed that you ride off the road when you did that portal climb, you can see that in 4:34 . Only miracle saved you that you didn't drop to emptiness. Did you noticed that, lucky that you are alive?.
