Zwift Chat

[fossyant]

I reckon it will change when in a race scenario. The scenery goes into a blur and it's becomes a series of bumps which you are trying to muster extra power to get over. I tend to get not to think about a course whilst racing. Pootle ride it's a bit different.

I was a bit late for a group ride, but found it, and stayed with the group (although not on the group ride) - well, I say stayed, the group got completely shattered and there was only a core group at the front - who ever was ride leader didn't keep it together. Fortunately I kept with the main group, but they just shed loads and loads.

Have you timed them, I bet they take 40-50secsonds

The cameras didn't show the full climb so hard to time them exactly ....

Finnish rider Jaakko Hänninen who was 3rd U23 race in yesterday, it takes 46s from him that climb. His ride is in strava.

In a Zwift that climb is 0,45km and irl that is 0,38km. So not surprise if they go faster than we

I timed the Dutch rider Breggen on the penultimate lap Hugel climb. She did it in 1min2 secs

Lot of good reference times came today in Innsbruck World Championsips thinkin about training with Zwift . Full 24km lap suppose to go under 36min and mountain climb to the top under 16min. What are you think about that, let start finally training .

I had a bash at Kleiner Hugel today and Strava told me I set a PR of 1.08. However, when I look at the league table of times it still shows mine as 1.15 even though it still shows the 1.08 time. Weird.

Also, my lap timer was showing around 1.06 so I must also have the start (or end) point wrong.

You have 1.08 PB. I don't know why the Cyclechat group hasnt updated.

This little hill is a bugger got to crack the minute just aint got the lungs

My best ever 1 min power is 467W and my average on this climb was 414W so I have a little in hand. Also need a fast draft to enter the climb at a higher pace.

I really like it as a competitive test though

 

[rob01792]

Be good if a few of us with similar times had a bash together might break the minute then

That’s a good target time. Even better if you have legs enough after that complete the lap in well time too.

My lungs are fine, it's my legs that fail me I see you have knocked off a few more seconds. I really must try harder
