Having ANT+ disconnect issies in zwift, have used an active 5m lead , swapped that out for a new one, finally using a powered Belkin USB hub ... Still happening .. not happy

Looking to replace the ANT dongle as it's the one that came with the BKool ... What's recomerec? I was thinking of the Tacx T2028 but at almost £45 need to be sure it'll do the job.

Zwift tells me that ANT+ is connected but no signals being picked up from any devices so Trainer, HRM, Cadence sensor or Vectors ... Sort of eliminates a possible low power signal from the trainer as a cause.

I'm using one of off ebay for about £8. No problems so far and my brother is using a second I bought with no issues.

1-11.38 for me on Zwift but ZP May adds bit more.
Stayed with Brendan for first lap and a half but lost him on 2nd descent of Box. I though he was behind me Chased but in a group of 4 and none of us wanted to ride much more than 3w/k. Saw Adds behind me and not sure if he was riding the stage but used him as a marker to keep some power up. Happy with that.
Well done all. Tough course- no place to ease off.

Well done mate. Was good to see a friendly face for a change. Prob lost on downhill as that’s the only place I can try to catch up some time was fading fast on the last climb though.
Tough one that no where to recover but well done all.

If once wasn't enough I did stage 8 cat A again, this time in a Fasted state (which I'm doing more of) kept to around 3 w/kg on the flat and 3.5-4 w/kg on climbs time was 1:12:28.
Even seen fellow cc'er @Specialeyes

And I'm now back to my pre Christmas weight of 145 lb/65.77 kg

I have found courage traits in myself during this winter and especially Tour de Zwift. I feel that i can face more challenges and break boundaries more than before. I will do my stage 3 in make-up day but if i feel well rested and body feels good i can re-ride some other stage in a next day....just for fun.

Whorty it was nice riding with you briefly earlier. Thanks for the thumbs up. I did briefly try and work out how to return the gesture on my phone but gave up. So have one here instead!

Don't worry Tommy I've been on Zwift for over a year and still haven't really sussed out how to do "ride ons" whilst riding - I'm usually concentrating on other things - like breathing!

By the way @TurboTommy now you're properly on Zwift make sure you start the everest challenge as it means every ride you do will automatically get you closer to unlocking the "tron" bike - and we all know how much you like a new bike

65 kg

I don't mind if it's 65kg or 82kg i just keep on riding till' the sunset

Well it really annoys me that he's 65kg. Really, it's a form of cheating ...

I can understand a cough but as long as you are faster it doesn't matter, right?

I am actually on that challenge already from my time using the wattbike. I’ve probably climbed about 5ft though.
