Zwift Chat

I bought my Victory in mid November last year, can't recall where I read it, but I thought the trial code had to be activated before end of Jan '26.

Oh, I didn't realise that there was a time limit on it!

I'll nip upstairs and see if there is any mention of one on the card that came with the trainer...

If necessary, I would pay for a month when I feel ready for a serious attempt at a 1 hour AdZ.

I can't see any time limit on the card but after some quick research I found out that there is a mistake on the offer. It is for new subscribers only, BUT... apparently, if you cancel your subscription renewal and let it run out, the code will then work.

I won't find out for sure until I try using it later in the year.

Pah, I can SMASH that...





... 5 hour power!

It looks like you haven't recorded many 5 hour rides?

At my age now, I can't see me ever getting anywhere near those other numbers - great efforts! The powers for 5 secs to 1 hour are roughly 50-55% above what I can manage. The 2 hour power is about 20% higher than mine.

I do quite fancy battling my own power curve though. What I have currently logged on TrainingPeaks is definitely significantly below what I am capable of.

I seem to have picked up yet another winter cold after my hilly 81 km forum ride yesterday, but when I feel better I will try to push my power curve up to more realistic levels.

I am sticking to TPV and outdoor rides until around October. If by then I think that I have a realistic chance of doing Alpe du Zwift in an hour I will use the Zwift trial code that I got with my Victory turbo trainer and see if I can manage it before the trial runs out.

In fairness I'm a fairly big lad so the w/kg is a different matter. At some point when kids are older I hope to do some more 5 hour cycles!

It is pleasing to see progress after a dry January with increased protein and added creatine, even with some illness
