I don't like Zwift. I prefer Trainerroad workouts. I like the progression - the testing generally confirms that I'm getting faster (until I'm not). My main problem with indoor stuff is the duration isn't long enough for what I do (oh and the boozing). But it is convenient to just hit the turbo for 30min-120min without having to worry about flats (normally) or bad drivers (unless they're REALLY bad drivers). Too old, fat and slow now to really bother getting properly fit but I can still put in some effort so as not to embarrass myself.
I need to pull a finger out - got AMR next month and I'm heaviest I've been in a long while and pretty shit off-road generally so yeah, I kinda wish I wasn't so meh about it all.
Having ridden in London a few times I totally get that! Fortunately I am only a few hundred metres from lanes/bridleways.
I was doing 100k Zwift Audax rides last winter but the thought of doing that at the moment fills me with dread!
