If one of my children, with their child’s account, were to have their avatar permanently stationed at the top of AdZ on a never-ending, never-going-anywhere ride, could I just keep joining them again and again to accumulate XP on the descent?

I do believe so, yes. Feel like giving it a test?

I wonder if there is a 'timeout' on a ride, and if so, what it is?

I’ve left my poor avatar sat on his bike for a few hours before. But I don’t know if you could leave him there indefinitely!

It’d kind of skew your mileage though wouldn’t it? It’s no big deal unless it bothers you. But I think my OCD might put in a formal complaint!

Not especially, just hypothesising…

That's quite clever for speeding up points or I could get a bot to ride at 40,000 Watts. I remember Bkool had a bug where you could ride around the velodrome at over 100mph

There is no timeout but if you keep longer break then Zwift goes to so called lurking mode. When you decide to return you can continue from where you stop your ride.

I was actually thinking of PM’ing you last night to see if you fancied another go at the Surrey hills this year. But I think Bob as well as a few others would fancy it too so figure I might as well mention it here. Maybe March / April? Really from a selfish point of view I want to start filling rides in the calendar as summer prep. But it’s obv a great day out on its own. @Del C maybe?

I’m not sure who else lives within driving distance.

Yeah I'd be up for this.

Got to go outdoors sometime. I can check out a new hilly track for us to walk up!

Big feature is of course Scotland - but we can't ride it until the events in Feb.

To be fair we probably all should have realised when you said ‘I’m sure this used to be tarmac’ that we were going the wrong way!

April ok for you @Del C?

I'd be more concerned that you made your child ride up there in the first place

I’m concerned it took 15 hours before that even occurred to one us!

I am up for an April meet. The more the merrier 👍

Thinking of doing Flat is Fast at 5:10. Probably a really stupid idea after last night but hey ho.

Well I managed it. My legs did complain a bit after Tuesday's ZRL but not too bad.

It was a quick event - I finished in the front blob, about half way down the 70 odd in it. @Brusgaard beat me by 0.2 seconds

Day off today. Z2 on Friday and Tiny Races 3pm Saturday.

My HRM didn't pair in time (wish one could pair that during a race!), so will have to redo the stage. Most likely Friday afternoon...
