Technical Difficulties Zwifting the ZSUN Sunday Social Ride
The “Zwift ZSUN Sunday Social Ride (D)” started at 1:10 PM and I didn’t watch the time close enough to get everything ready for the start. My phone connected to a different wi-fi network and that kept the Zwift Companion from picking up all of my sensors via Bluetooth. I didn’t figure that out until after connecting the sensors to my desktop computer that runs the main Zwift software. Once I figured out the problem and put my phone on the correct wi-fi network the map came up in the companion app. By now the main group was out of sight which was probably okay because of the pace they were going. This was a fast social ride. I rode the course with a couple riders passing me and then I slowly reeled in a few bikers in front of me.
I saw messages from the group leader and riders telling some of the happenings at the front. The fence never became an issue for me unless the group would lap me. The ride lasted 90 minutes but I ended my ride after 1:03:51 riding 19.19 miles. Where I stand mileage wise:
- 132.38 miles this week
- 381.03 miles in December, 197 on the road and 184 on the trainer
- 552.8 miles YTD on the Wahoo Kickr Snap smart trainer
- 7.498 miles YTD road biking
The weather tried to warm up after church but when I got home it was 58 degrees signaling an indoor ride today. Sunny skies looked inviting but between the wind and coolness I chose Zwift. Monday may be warmer and I can ride outside.
