Zwift Chat

Having yesterday told Peter that I'm not free riding on Zwift much, I've just done 51km which leaves just 14 to complete the SL8 🙌

Just seeing that it is 6 hours for the first update of the cadex Tri which doesn't feel like a worthwhile investment of time as I really don't enter TTs outside of ttts. Maybe I'll save that for downhills once the sl8 is done

My thought process on upgrades is...
You have to put work/time into climbing and mountain bikes, that need elevation for upgrades
Most bikes require distance, so use them on downhill and flat when you have energy to go at decent speed eg. 30kph+
TT frames simply require moving time, so use them on days you have little energy on flat routes, on mountains if you've upgraded your climbing bike

You can also use climbing bikes when you do a workout, pick a mountain route and you will be climbing all through the workout but the gradient is ignored (at least with respect to your 'feel'). You won't get free altitude, but the feel is different.
