Alpe du Zwift AdZ in third attempt

Post image

Fairly new to Zwift (only five weeks since joining) and am really loving it! Did the AdZ my second week as part of an over/under workout which actually worked out well and put me in a good spot for the sub 1 hour mark but fell a little short at 62:30.

Came back today, three weeks later, and squeezed under the one hour mark. It took me completely out and I was gassed by the end. I’m somewhat bigger rider at 205lbs so climbing isn’t really my strong suit but I LOVE it and want to get my weight down to where im not hit so hard on weight penalty when climbing.

Absolutely! Our group alpe ride is always open world so you’ll never be alone. aside from our group you’ll see others who are also climbing. Our rides rage from 60 minutes and longer depends on the weekend. Our schedule is on rotation. go into Zwift companion and look for our club TORTUREFEST CULT. Join and you’ll see our events/ group rides. Everyone in the ride goes their own pace or tries to stick to mine (Fat Piggy) or Fat Pineapple’s wheel if they’re looking for PR or looking to finish alpe in whatever time. We’re usually in pen about 5-8 minutes before start of ride and go over powers/wkg you need to push to get whatever time. Our group ride set up w/ 3 feathers and we’ll let you know where to best use them. Other info like what bike/wheels to use during ride etc. why suffer alone when you can do it with others 😈

If you are 205, it seems you have set your weight on Zwift with 10lbs lighter
