Something has gotta be up with either my set-up or Zwift is full of shit. I did a "race" today and it said avg speed was 28mph. My trad / dumb turbo setup is an Elite trainer with cadence and speed (set on 3) on a 48x16 track bike. Even when I was in OK shape attempting C races at herne hill I dont think races ever got that fast, no way I could have done 10 miles at this pace.
So is it known dumb trainers are a great way to sandbag? Or is it that zwift races are so far beyond reality as to be silly? I understand the basic watts calculation on smart trainers appears accurate tho.
