Hey all, I will not be there this Sunday as I will be in Boone, North Carolina concluding the EN Blue Ridge Camp. I will be back the following Sunday.
One idea I thinking of... I know some East Coast peeps would like to start earlier. I also know that I plan on stretching to 3 hours as I get into IM build. Maybe we can figure a way to start early (say one hour), but then be at the start at 9:00 and meet up with the official ride.
Also, we've had some brief discussions about racing in Zwift. Here are some tips I found that may be helpful.
I'll can ride Sunday and can start earlier or at the normal time. I just finished IM Texas so won't be pushing much over 3 w/kg (200 watts). Looking forward to it.
I've been wanting to try out this Zwift for quite a while. I'm kind of SCARED though:-) Does it work with the KickR and Trainer Road? I haven't looked at the instructions yet, but wanted to make sure I can use my KickR with it. I will get Turby on it too!! (not KickR though).
I am just starting with Zwift. I am riding the London course. Why is it I am going through walls and tress and fences? Shouldn't this look like a bike course?
I can't this week (my Grandson's First Holy Communion), but hoping by next weekend to figure out how to get rid of the walls and fences and trees I'm riding through:-) (Thanks Jenn!) I think my computer may be too old? I tried to install new drivers, but that didn't seem to do anything. Ugh
I'm out. Indy 1/2 mary. On the drop out issue, I have a mac and the 'time machine' back-up is a BIG problem for me. If shut the mac off - no drop outs. Other option is to use blue tooth connectivity (if your pm is capable)
Hey everyone! There was an update in Zwift today! There are a few cool new features on course selection. Also, they are going to try an let you use your power meter to control your smart trainer in erg mode (for workout mode). I am not sure how many of you use the workout mode, but this is a good feature for those who like to be consistent with the same power meter source inside and out. Also, they mention that the London course expansion will be soon! You can see all of the updates here .
On another note.... I am going to be out of the ABP ride for a couple of months, or at least a month..... I have a blood clot in my leg and I need to be very careful with it. When I do return, my riding will be Zwift only until I get off the blood thinning medication.
Thanks @Brian Hagan for the info. Also, sorry to hear about your blood clot, but glad you got it checked out! I don't think I would have been that quick. Take care and get well before coming back!
I'm in. 6,7,8,9 ET all good for me. If @Trent Prough wants company at 7 that may be a good time to maximize mojo. Somebody who has stronger feelings call it, I'll be there!. @Brian Hagan take care!

Either time is good for me.
