Zwift Chat

used my free distance earlier and i can see me resubbing soon as currently i am only getting a non commute ride in every couple of weeks due to working every sunday whilst they want us .
I Have considered cheaper apps but i think they all need a smart trainer these days ? and as i only have a dumb trainer with speed and cadence sensor it rules them out .

I'm not sure about other apps, but Zwift may as well be the only option. It's really a matter of considering your long-term vs. short term cost.

Buying a cheap smart trainer would allow you to use a cheaper or even free app but would be a large one-off cost. Alternatively, you can use what you've got and pay for the app.

Maybe wait for some pre-Christmas deals and finance a smart trainer? That could be cheaper per month than a membership? Or find a used smart which would reduce the one-off cost?

Evans offer £0 today and then 3 months with £70. That is £70-£18 = £52 per month if skipping the Zwift sub. Don’t think you will find a better deal including warranty. Still need the cassette though.

@cyberknight kickrsnap is 200 quid with tredz 6 months interest free 33 quid a month as well. Great little trainer. Used to be 10% blue light discount as well, not sure if still the same

Got the crap kicked out of me on the harrowgate circuit. This ZRS lark is tough! 520-690 is such a broad category but definitely means a good workout

I bought the wife a Kickr Snap. It works well, not too noisy and solidly built. She has a ebike on it linked to Rouvy. Keeping her fit during winter

Yeah I had one for years, great bit of kit and surprisingly accurate. Unfortunately sold it second hand for next to nothing already

After my poor attempt at my last workout. I decided I would give a good go at the weights. I now cant walk properly or feel my neck, chest from sore muscles

Hope to get onto Alex's event this evening, if I can get off the settee

Big opportunity to do well in Alex's Cyclopathon race tonight on the basis my ZRS is now 548 so I'm right at the top of the 450-550 category - therefore I'm really annoyed that I've woken up with a sore throat and headache and feel like I have a cold brewing

I've signed up in the hope I feel better later...

Rookie mistake, one muscle group at a time so you can avoid being completely out of action

I tend do most muscle groups together-im not going for big muscle gains. I went a bit too mad with sets having had a week off

Sounds like not enough work on the farm? You should never be sore on account of all the regular physical labour

I spend lots of time being outstanding in my field 😁

I screwed it up this morning chasing the guy who broke away at the end of lap 4. I almost caught him, but not quite and I'd burnt all my matches doing that, so got beaten at the end. It was nearly a good play though

Next Zwift update should have improvements to mini map - initially Watopia routes only, further rollouts later
