I’ve done my 25k or whatever it is you get free on Zwift and...meh.
I’m riding my fixed bike on dumb rollers and just using speed and cadence sensors so I know my game speed/power etc isn’t going to be very accurate but I don’t know that being any ‘faster’ would make it any more enjoyable. I think I just find the graphics and stuff pretty dull, I’d rather go back to watching some footage from someone riding up Stelvio or that on youtube.
It seems to knock my speed back to a crawl on any climb and I did find that pretty frustrating. I tried increasing my cadence on the climbs today, using them as intervals almost and it blasted me up the first one but then I don’t know if it got wise to my non-resistance trainer or what but it didn’t seem work after that.
I’ve absolutely no interest in racing or really following a training plan, just wanting something to make sitting on the rollers a bit more interesting.
I’m sure I saw someone mention on here another thing like zwift that worked better for fixed/rollers?
Failing that, does anyone know where I could find some roller ‘session’ instructions that I could look at? I was doing my own version of intervals and stuff while watching vids/listening to music but I don’t know if what I was doing was really any good. Like I say, I don’t want to follow a training plan like I know you can on zwift but just having some sessions to look through might help.
