Not around tonight but did a 21km TT last night - different type of effort to a normal race.

By different I mean really quite awful!! Enjoy!

I done the 52k one and was easily the worst time of my life

I do like the TT style races. As you say different as you're less focused on staying in a group and getting a draft, and more interested in holding a good power and speed.

52km TT races ... sounds painful

I didn't do my homework good enough when I stated that the Ryzen processors are APU's (have build-in graphics).
Apparently most of the Ryzen desktop processors are NOT APU's. All of the mobile Ryzen's are but only 2 of the desktop processors are.
I learned that the hard way today when I couldn't get a picture from my new "Zwift" PC. Luckely I had a compatible grapichs card laying around.
Should be interesting to see if I still get that horrible delay.

I need to buy new computer in this year too, probably laptop as my current one. This time my selection will be Macbook, maybe Pro if it's have to. Depends which one Zwift run well enough. Desktop computer is anyway out of a question.

Only those with a G(raphics) have built-in GPU.

I have a Geforce GTX 650 available for purchase, if interested?

GeForce GTX 1050

Thanks, but I ordered a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti.
The one I found in my component bunch is very old and is not up for the task at all. The delay is even worse now and Zwift takes 4 min. to close.

I'm good for graphics, I'm using my old CAD workstation with an NVidia Quadro graphics card. Seems to do the job quite nicely Probably pretty low spec now but it was nearly a grand new 5 years ago I was quite pleased when worked scrapped it off in to the boot of my car

I have a Asus laptop where is poor graphic card. For example inside of a London metro tunnel some part of a walls i have spectral colors. Other maps i have found same issues.

Congratulations, it's taken me a fair while to get to level 25, that happened yesterday

Nice new bike . 87 watts is just fine. No need to hurry all the time, despite for that heart rate numbers. Just waiting when the Zwift let us customize groupset's too, no need to use mechanical group set's to slow us down .
