So if you are riding a gravel bike to climb the Temple KOM switch back to a aero road bike after the decent as the Flatland Loop is flat with no dirt.

No matter what equipment I choose on Zwift the bike here on my trainer is the same old same old. What impact does virtual bike choice have? Maybe gear range?

The thing is – it’s annoyingly slow to change bikes mid ride. They need to have a quicker macro-powered way of doing this. I hate riding routes where I’m trying to train and then have to constantly swap bikes by stopping and then swapping and then starting again. Very frustrating.

I have uninstalled Zwift an reloaded it. It loads with version 1.0.52. Not the latest update.
I am running it on windows.

The flatland loop had a decent lead in. 2 laps was about 16.6 miles. Just did the chase. Not 0 as listed. Race was advertised as 16.3. Finish times were almost 30 sec more than when we crossed the finish line. Same for my friends. As an ex-runner this kills me when the finish times crossing the line and results are never the same. Any thoughts?

Thanks

I’m not that big or heavy, but I still routinely mix short intense rides with longer more demanding ones. One builds fun, the second, patience. No results improve until we keep on doing it even when results don’t immediately reflect our effort. As one long time Masters rider told me: “Sometimes a 25km/hr ride is better than a 35km/hr ride” Peacefully accepting both strengths and weaknesses
