Been riding on Zwift now for 5-6 weeks and will finally have enough drops for the Canyon Aeroad tomorrow.
I have Friday off work and thought I would punish myself by having a crack at Alpe Du Zwift.
Looking for tips. I can generally hold about 1.7w/kg on a decent length ride so it's not going to be quick.
Trainer difficulty is currently set to 50%. I have a 36-34 bottom gear. Would it be a good idea to change difficulty? I hit an 18% section on Innsbruck and found that pretty hard. Could have used another gear or two but I don't know how steep ADZ gets and for how long.
Planning on doing the tour of fire and ice route as it appears to me that those extra km are pretty much downhill (starts at the top of the volcano) and why not take the extra free km if you can get it.
Previous biggest Zwift climb in one session about 550m.
Is 2 hours a realistic goal? Any tips?
