Haute Route Watopia

To all zwifters out there, what is your thought on this? I like the idea, but not the fact that the race is going to be in April, I have been craving too much wearing short sleeves/gloves on the outdoors to go into the trainer for three days when I finally can do it. 
@DiegoSanchez I’m not a fan of Zwift races. Zwift is awesome for training, but racing on a trainer just doesn’t make sense to me. Go outside and race bikes!
I can't believe a thread about Zwift is in the racing thread.

What have we been reduced to?


I’m a huge fan of Zwift, and love their events and group rides. That said my approach to their events is I only care if they are convenient to me.

for example, if it is snowing tomorrow and that coincides with stage 3 of zwift’s Haute Route, then i’ll ride it, otherwise I could care less.

zwift is a great tool, they cracked and fixed a very real problem (boredom, dreading the trainer) but the goal remains to ride and race on real actual roads.
Now Zwift feels like the only source of "racing" we will be getting done in the upcoming months. 

:(
@DiegoSanchez that makes sense now
I'm not sure when i'm going to get on today. In the future I'll try and be more organized.
