Hi mate. It is an odd machine. So close but so far... I don’t think it’s super noisy though. My unit isn’t at least. Compared to Bkool pro it’s ok. It doesn’t create the same vibration.

Well I've started my 7 day free trial, so I thought I'd just about earned the right to post here........... well at least for 7 days! 
Graphics are good. As someone who lives near Box Hill, I thought they'd got that about right. Even the hotel at the bottom looks like......... the hotel at the bottom.
Hard to tell much more at this stage as all I did was ride a 11 mile London loop including Box Hill and then a 7.2 London flat loop. Managed to get to Level 2 (although I've no idea what that means yet) and apparently I unlocked a kit and a Garmin kit.
How the hell do I get out of London? Couldn't see any menu option to do that, or is it tied to a full subscription or do you have to reach a level before you get access?

Zwift is set up to pre-select the location. You get a few days of London, a few days of Watopia, with the odd day of Richmond thrown in. It's the same for everybody, no matter what level you're on.
If you want to override the pre-selection, you need to download and install Zwift Preferences, which lets you choose the location, as well as a few more options (such as the exact course you want to ride) that you would normally pick as part of the set up when you log in.
I've no idea if it works during the 7 day trial, but I don't see why it shouldn't.

You can post here whenever you want.Lots of resources on Zwift here;

Watopia should be up in a day or so and I suggest you choose the Pretzel course so you get a good idea of what is on offer

Yes, it may allow you to ride the fire and ice course even though you are not level 10 and you can test yourself on the Alpe

Yes group rides are great it's what makes zwifty, you get a feel for drafting and learn how to ride in a large group
Working from home today, so hopefully watch the Ovo Women's Tour as they pass through Warwick.

Ahhh- but is this Martins way of saying he set the KOM when he used to be a Martina?
I've got one KOM, but it's a good one. Fastest reverse loop of Rutland water 1hr36

Yes but it includes a smallish roundabout. Quite dangerous in normal traffic. The Women's tour came this way 2 years ago - and they were one second off
