Proper terrible up North! More indoor sessions. I'm going to start my weight training this week

I have ridden the bkool Alp segment on my old pro a few times but they are not showing so no way to compare rides and turbos.

I remember doing it on the Kickr. Around 1hr10

I had a bash at the Alpe du Zwift yesterday but made a bit of a horlicks of it. Stupidly, I aimed to ride at FTP from start to finish. I was averaging 98% for the first 20 odd minutes but couldn't face another 40 minutes of the same so bailed and turned back down. Congrats to you guys who have set some great times.

Last time i rode Alp d'heuz was on Bigringvr over a year ago so i should improve on that time im hoping around 1.08

But it looks like I'm coming down with my son's cold so i might not be able to beast it for a few days

I'm not sure if that's legit or not. Resistance on the kickr didn't feel right (not enough) at all during the ride.

The plan was to hang out at around 200W for the ride in the hopes that I wouldn't destroy my legs giving me a chance to follow-up and ride it again today. I largely accomplished that goal with a 220W average for the climb. My HR battery died early in the climb, but it didn't ever feel like I was approaching the red line.

Sadly, I've felt like crap all day. So I wasn't able to sneak in another attempt prior to vacation time with the family. Oh well.

I had the complete opposite. Too high HR and resistance felt about right, but I had realism to about 50%. You smashed me by nearly 10 mins.

80 minute climb for me which is par for my times on bkool, so I knew what to expect. Hopefully you'll nail it next time.

Come on guys! You are not gonna let this old man with a dodgy knee be faster are you?!?

 

[JuhaL]

I am not young either but it’s wonderful feeling to feel pain and do resistance

 

[bobinski]

I was going to have another go today mid zsun club ride which was to serve as a warm up . Legs said no. Fair enough. Means I get to keep an eye on the Zwift companion and watch to see when one of you youngsters have a go and perhaps join in

Feel free to hang back and ride with me if you're not feeling like a fast one My aim is to complete all rides, time is not important

8am too early for me - I have to take my asthma meds 2 hours before I ride, and I'm not up for getting up at 6 to take tablets
