I think I’m going to go for 40 hours on the Cadex so that I can do TTTs without being on inferior kit.

I'm doing it now. Noting how much difference the upgrades make in my Z2 rides on Tempus Fugit - which are quite stable ~200W. No upgrades was averaging 38.4km/h, stage 1 took it to 38.6, stage 2 made no difference as it's a flat course, and stage 3 does 38.7. I reckon a full upgrade will take it close to 39.0. In comparison, a fully upgraded Zwift TT does 38.5. Doesn't seem like a big gap, but every second counts I guess.

Those will equate to quite big gaps over an hours TT event

I can't think of many things worse than doing an hour's TT on Zwift!

I watched a YouTube video a few days ago where the presenter explained the secret to happy...

I've managed 2 hours at Z2 watching films. I've only topped five hours on Zwift twice - once was the Uber Pretzel (and the last ten minutes of that were freewheeling down the Alpe, so it probably shouldn't count). The other was this:

That sounds like a plan. The only trouble is that something about my setup isn't right so I am suffering numbness when on the turbo bike. I have been moderately to severely affected when doing just 1 hour, so 2+ hours won't be advisable until I sort the problem out.

Erg mode is great for films because you just have to turn the pedals. Not looking at the Zwift screen prevents the clock-watching that makes time dilate!

I was thinking a few days ago that I have not been watching as many films as I used to. When it is late I usually stick to TV series because I only have to stay awake for 45-60 minutes rather than potentially 2-3 hours.

Once I sort out my turbo discomfort issues I will start watching long films earlier in the day while doing z2 in erg mode. The Godfather 1-3 are top of the list.

I've done two maybe three 100 milers on Zwift which in a pack is around 4hr30. I think I once did a ride on one of the longer routes nudging 5hrs .

Im never doing the uber pretzel or which ever takes 6+ hours

I once binge watched original Star Trek episodes on a long Zwift ride - it worked quite well I had half the screen as Netflix and Zwift on the other half.

I allowed the Permissions thing on the ZRS Score Extension - and now I see a ZRS logo on the ZP main screen. It also processed all my races. Do we know what it does with that processing?

 

[Norry1]

ah, I can answer my own question. It provides the stuff below

That's crazy that it works without a zwift subscription!
