Aw triple yeah

Uh, you're going the wrong way dude.

How would they know which way we are going?

It was the only way to do it for all 3 jerseys. People on zpower (virtual epo) are way too fast on the normal loop.

I tried Zwift.  It is more entertaining than staring at my Garmin.

Also what's up with slamming into people you pass? That's kind of my favorite part. "Oh looks like I'll have to dial it up to 400watts and DROPE TEH HAMER." Then *boom* the game logic decides the best way to pass is through the bunch, not around them.

^ Slamming virtual Fred's feels weird right? In a ghost limb kind of way. Also loving the way it makes you into a chop happy elbowing a-hole whenever you are next to someone in a group. 

Lastly, DROP THE HAMMER!? Why are we not using this expression more?

I'm laughing but having a fully lucid waking nightmare from staring at that gif while I type. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (ha ha ha) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH (haha ha hahaha...)

Also I checked off all the "accessories" on my avatar, but then realized what in the hell do I need a virtual helmet for?

You need the helmet so your face-plate doesn't detach of course.

A chance to ride with Charlie I on Sunday morning.....

Maybe a bit early for most of us but maybe you can roll home from the bar by 3:00 and get in a warm up lap.

virtually awesome....(see what I did there?)

Groannnn.

If you have strava premium, you get 60 days free from when you connect it to your Zwift account. I don't know how long that promo is, but if you timebit right you'll have free Zwift access for most of the winter.

I was on it last night and the chatter from training groups is hilarious. Almost worth the price of admission. Half the time they are screaming at one another,"Stay at 2 w/kg! We wont sprint to catch you!!!" Or something along those lines.

Personally I enjoy "riding" with others, even if virtual and even with strangers. Riding alone in a basement gets old after a while. Sads.

Yangs....Yacks got a dongle....it's on like Donkey Kong bitch...I say that with peace & love...peace & love

Nice! This week is tricky, but if I'm able to jump on I'm usually there sometime between 7 and 9.

Anyway we can set up a group ride???

Yes. I'm probably not on this week but likely next week.

Yacks, I might be able to jump on around 630 for about 30 mins if you want to crush me virtually.

I'm already off..the computrainer reports about 35 watts too low...so I've reduce my weight by 30 lbs....is that mathematically correct ???? Data compute

35 watts too low?  Suuuuuuuuuuure.

Looking to get on 7 - 8p tonight.  I'll hang out at the start for a few and take it super slow for the first lap.  If you all want to talk trash, I'll set up a google hangouts that you can run in the background or on a second screen.

I guy without a 2nd power meter would have to lie about lower power #'s...but I've got my stages recording to my head unit and it is 30 watts lower...always

coward

Haha I'll be on in a sec

what>>>just changed out of my bids...damn it...back to the basement
cell 516 214 7792    that should make this easier moving forward

Thanks @twoyacksfor reaffirming that I'm out of shape and that you're a cruel and petty competitor.

Twas fun....

Planning on hitting Zwift for Tim's workout today. 5ish if anyone wants to join. 

geeing on at 6:00 for 2 laps...just going to follow and badger people with elbow flicks and ride on's

Freezing temps = Zwift + Training Peaks workout

TBH, I've been using Zwift displayed on the TV as a virtual heads up display for time, power, and cadence.  A lot easier to see than the Garmin screen.

I got on tonight and sat in with a strong group...was awesome

Were they virtually yelling at each other the whole time to speed up and slow down?

Ill be on around 630/7 again doing Tim's workout. Today is tempo day so i should be riding steady.

Oh man I just wrapped up about 5 minutes ago.  I think if we friend each other no Zwift, one of us can hit "ride with friend" at the beginning of our rides on the phone app and automatically be placed next to that person.

I'll be on Tuesday doing the training program, usual time is around 7p!

Moved this to the appropriate thread.

From my googling it looks like zwift friending is still to come functionality.

Typically I'm a morning rider during the week but I'll let you know if I might get on in the evening.
