I change frames and wheels on Zwift every now and then. I do that more like change my avatars appearance than real effects. My daily physical condition changes enough that i don’t feel that i have much benefit about what frame or wheels i select. If i ride barely 1min faster a certain course with so called faster bike then that is not a improvement i am lookin for. But they give nice visual candy.
I change frame and wheels for terrain and my ride objectives . Hilly course it's S-works Venge and light wheels. Flatter courses I'll add the disc wheels. When I want to do all the work I'll go TT bike and discs. Sometimes I'll switch to Cervelo S5 or Madone for a change. So much choice. Rude not to play around :okay:

Pretty much same selection method i have, depending for terrain like you do. I have select many times Cervelo S5 too because my real bike on a trainer is Cervelo S3, little bit sentimental value with that selection but now i have S-Works Vege too. But the priceless satisfaction this Zwifting gives when i noticed improvement irl performance. I don't know how many CycleChatters keeps a break about Zwifting thru the summer but i do some workouts and maybe some sim ride.

I don't get out into real world that often as i'm a carer for my wife and need/prefer to be on hand just in case. My first outdoor ride this year with be the Tour of Cambridgeshire on 2nd June with other CCers ( where I'm expecting lots of comments on my weight loss :tongue:)

Well done Pete. Didn't get anywhere near you once the flag went up :biggrin:

I did however set a new fast time for that stage - 42:54 ...... 6 seconds inside my target. Couldn't beat @bobinski 's time, but I did take a few other scalps on that stage :wahhey: Set a few PBs too, which is nice :laugh: Not bad considering 3 1/2 hours on the bike yesterday :training:

Edit: I did the race at 100% realism. I knew I could climb the KoMs with large front ring and middle rear at 100%, so I figured I'd try this in a race. I might do this more frequently.
Cheers @Whorty. I did wonder if I'd see you on the leaderboard approaching my little group. Felt I could have gone faster but lost the wheels of the faster guys on both of the climbs. I won the sprint from my little group at the end which indicates I had something left in the tank.

All stage 4 results now included in the league. Some really close results in Stage 4 as well as plenty of strong rides.

This week is a catch up week, so plenty of opportunity to complete a missed stage or look to put in a faster effort ^_^

Great work again Pete!
I had another crack at stage 1 again today...00:40:08....about a minute quicker than my first go but 9 seconds slower than your time :cursing::notworthy:
If i had realised it was so close I would have taken more turns onthe front of the group I was in but I was too busy sheltering for the sprint which I ended up messing up in any case. :banghead:
