Anyone try out Zwift competitor platforms like VirtuGo and TrainerRoad?
I use trainer road road while I watch Netflix. I can program all my intervals into it and just have to keep pedaling.
Their podcast is pretty good too if you’re looking for something to listen to that has nothing to do with politics

Unless it has to do w/ the politics of Crossfit, then all bets are off

It's a good podcast alright but that Nate Pearson guy annoys the s&^& out of me.

That was a Chicago style "seriously" as in "Damn straight." They might also say something less cryptic like "Yeah he is."
Looks kinda bordeline ridable outside today (Saturday March 3rd) but with a layer of ice and water and high winds. I am gonna join this Zwift Virtual Fondo:

this has been making the rounds, reports indicate that starting Sunday (if not earlier) the Watopia course will include a replica of Alpe d'Huez, the Alpe du Zwift:



Eric Min's recon of the course:

The Alpe du Zwift route is out and available today.

You'll need to be at least level 12 to get to it.

Today is finally springly weather, so I'll be riding outside anyway.

Anyone wanna open the legs before Saturdays race?  Yacks is hitting this hard tonight
Well...this was a surprise...grabbed 4th place tonight...jet lagged and all.  The course = 6 laps of the Volcano circuit.  Now I got there early tonight to warm up...

No line at the bathroom for the pre-race dook

Equipment choice was tricky...forecast was for rain so I went on the safe side and rode my aluminum clinchers...

Race went off with a bang...glad I warmed up...

There was a split after the first mile and Yacks was in it!....also the rains came (yeah aluminum brake surface)

with 10 miles to go the break was working well...however we road through an active volcano and sooo glad I didn't ride the carbon hoops as when those rims heat up the brake fade struggle is real !!!!

It was hot...and climbing into this headwind didn't make it any easier...
There was a little power climb before the sprint and Yacks got gapped...sad but true.  Now in the finale we caught some guys from the cat A field...(where is the promoter?  why weren't we neutralized before the last lap = so annoying).

So pissed to miss the podium but I'll take 271 normalized watts...
I don't understand.  Where is your toilet paper?  Is it in the basket?  Does that mean you have to do a. . . gasp. . . reacharound?
It’s on the back of the door so when I close the door I have a....wait for it...out front mount 

I wanna be excited about this, but, well...

I rode the 6 mile outer perimeter today
not bad...they have the cat on cats paw and everything

I want to be towed around central park on a trailer while I do Zwift.

The zwift companion app is updated, with better stats, race results, and way more important "Meetups" the ability to simply create a ride and invite up to 50 of your followers to join you.

That is, almost like we do in real life, we can create an event, meet in zwift Sunday 11am pick a specific course and duration/distance, the only caveat is that you can only invite riders that follow you. Potential is quite awesome for this winter.

Looks like it's a good excuse to get back on the saddle.

If your cell phone signal is good enough, and you have a power meter (or even a simple speedometer) you can be on zwift while riding in actual Central Park. Let's do this!! :P
These days, I feel like I live a second life on Zwift. Too many trainer hours.
anyone up for trying a Zwift meetup tomorrow morning? I don't think i'll have time to get outside.... 

(This is definitely not an excuse to get more friends on Zwift)
I’ll likely be doing a workout on Zwift tomorrow.

My coach gave me two options, 3 hours in the freezing cold or a threshold workout indoors. FML.
