Zwift?

[mwktar]

Planning for winter atm - have a turbo in the house but you know how much fun that is!

Was wondering if anyone had used something like Zwift, and if it actually alleviates some of the boredom of the turbo?

Also, any idea how it works with turbos like the Elite Crono Elatogel?

I've used Zwift - it will work with any turbo TBH - you just need a Speed / Cadence sensor and HR monitor. You will also need an ANT+ dongle to link these to your laptop and you will be good to go.

It's pretty fun but I find it still makes the turbo sessions a drag. It counts as miles on your Strava though so that's good haha

Have a look at the Global Cycling Network turbo videos on YouTube - they are pretty good too.

Zwift is ok for some short entertainment. I prefer the real life videos or following a training plan. Nothing beats the open road though.

There are a few threads on this in Training and Nutrition that go into a bit more detail....

Spend the money on a set of mudguards and some warmer clothing and get out there. Winter cycling has its own special joys, like winter photography.
