Zwifting With The PACK Social Ride + Volcano
Well I rode today’s ride without ergo mode enabled on the Wahoo Kickr Snap smart trainer and I came last place out of 468 riders signed up. Bring on the SAG wagon. Watts/kg still were hard to come by as the rest of the Pack sped away and I slogged around a fairly flat course in Watopia for 22.67 miles in 1:34:23 moving time. I never stopped but a few times I slowed to 0 watts. Maybe I need to do another spin down calibration to see if that helps any.
Outside the weather was chilly but sunny with the temperature in the mid 50’s, below my 60 degree threshold for biking outdoors. In Zwift I built up some heat as I rode past the flowing lava and pedaling.
I learned two things today about Zwift. One from GPLlama YouTube channel about how to remove the heads up data blocks from screenshots taken during an event: when you get ready to save and exit after an event click on the little green box in the upper right corner of the image and it removes the boxes for a clean screenshot. The second was where the screenshots land if they do not upload to Strava so I can add them later: look in the “Pictures/Zwift” folder in Windows 10. The screenshots are named by the date and the ones with heads up boxes removed have “clean” in the name.
Friday looks like another Zwifting day according to the weather forecast: A mainly sunny sky. High 61F. Winds NE at 5 to 10 mph.
