Zwift Chat

Yeah, backing up what @Whorty said, if you don’t want to change bikes (or if ATV makes it impossible to do so quickly) you’re best off using a Tron for the whole thing. Whatever you lose on the climb, you’ll make up much more time back on the tarmac compared to staying on a gravel/mountain bike, as the course is less than 30% dirt.

A race with bike changes? I have to watch that

Yesterday I wanted to do a 2 hour endurance ride and chose to join the 4pm HPL Cycling Provincial+ Group Ride. I mention it because it was the most disciplined Group Ride I've ever done on Zwift - no fliers and the vast majority of the group stayed together the whole time. This led to pretty fast average speeds and it just felt kinda good. Here is their blurb - and I think they do this the same time every Sunday.


This ride is intended to be a endurance or recovery ride. At two hours in length it is sure to produce fitness gains. Please respect the yellow beacon. Courses will change weekly.

Hosted by HPL Cycling, a masters development and race team, based out of Saskatchewan, Canada. We are thrilled to be another Canadian group offering rides on Zwift. Looking forward to riding with people from around the world.

I love the fact they conform to the Canadian stereotype of co operation and working together gently imposing their will on others 😀

Haha! I guess it’s all relative then because you all seem to conserve more than me!

Coming in several places and minutes behind you in a race doesn't mean I was "conserving watts"

Stupid question: How can I enter half a kilo in my Zwift profile? It lets me do 73 or 72 but not 72.5?

Temporarily change to Imperial units and put in the right number of pounds. Then change back to Metric.

Alternatively, don't worry about it. Being accurate to 1kg is far better than most

Being accurate to the closest 10kg is good for most

You can do that in-game. Go to menu then click on your profile details at the top (symbol looks like an orange pen and paper under your name) - you can change your weight in there and can enter up to two decimal points in kgs

Im surprised it hasn’t been used an excuse yet to be honest 😄

I'd round down to 7kg

Good luck to the guys racing the final stage of the ZRL tonight - looks like an epic one! May you not live to regret your bike choice.... or have any disastrous bike changes
