Zwift Chat

[Brusgaard]

I can't see myself paying for more than one platform though - have they scrapped the basic free membership option of RGT (sorry Wahoo X!)?

You can still join other peoples races with a free account - a thing which isn't going away soon, but probably zoon. To organize your own races (and ride other courses outside organized ones - bar a few free ones), you have to be a subscriber.
Wahoo X is access to both RGT and SYSTM, and that requires a subscription after the 14 day (?) trial.

Or just a 'delete' or 'archive' button

Agree with that, that is only rational option. Just wondering why there isn't been that kind of option already or for a long time. I just take a look how many frames and wheels I have in my Zwift garage. I have 28 frames and 21 wheels and I only use handful of them, not more than 3 frames and wheels.

We'd all be getting lots of XP with very little effort if you could do that

There used to be a ride that did that, was to a rebel ride or something - basically every week someone would climb the alpe then everyone would click join rider and find yourself at the top. Think I'm remembering that right

Interesting (long) read

While you can't do that with the Alpe, you can set up a meetup for the one of the Lutscher circuits in Innsbruck and it will put you at the top of that climb so you can freewheel down, whereas if you do a club event you start in the pens at the bottom and the lead-in is the climb to the top.

I am really pleased Wahoo took over Sufferfest and now RGT. The Sufferfest training plans just work. There’s good science behind them. They work with the best such as Rohan Dennis. We benefit. Now they offer running swimming and yoga plans/ mixed plans too. It’s not for everyone but I used a plan with great success post op and and some 8 weeks off the bike, beating my old ftp after 5 months training.
Rumours are you will be able to ride plans in RGT, set up an old ride time as a bot and chase down. Community has always been hugely important in SF and they will want to do their best replicate with RGT. If they can sort that and the racing it could be an easy one stop shop.

Re Zwift buying TR… it will be much more expensive than buying RGT. That’s a hard swallow for Zwift even with their unlimited cash reserves and so the risk is Zwift becomes more expensive. Perhaps only then will they offer an reduced annual payment option.

Personally I'm waiting cvrcade* to destroy all competition (I think they are still going actually under cadesport or something)

I'm all for competition, sufferfest plus rgt plus wahoo is some combination.

Have the likes of rouvy, bkool etc come on at all?

Ive got some brand new un opened Samsung Galaxy bud Pro Bluetooth ear pods for sale.

I don't get on with ear pods hence I'm selling.

If interested PM a sensible offer

I hope the weather stays this good for the iow boys 👍

Just did couple rides with Rouvy, not bad experience at all. Despite that augmented routes is artificial I think it's work pretty well with those video recorded routes.

I don't think we got lost today - unless I was too lost to notice? Maybe you mean not going into all checkpoints, which was intentional and taking a time-saving gravel detour

It was quite chilly. Could see my breath on some of the climbs. Oh, and it rained all day

Nick and Carl managed the photos. I was just there to show off my skills of falling over clipped in and pointless power surging
