r/Zwift

As a start for discussion: Kicker Bike + Omni Board or Saris MP1

(Looking to replicate outdoor *road* bike feel while Zwifting indoors)

I wasn't that interested in my weight before Zwift but when you look at the potential effect on W/kg it's tempting to push away those extra portions! Anyone taken this path? I appreciate losing bad weight must be the target, while keeping the good.

I’ve (41f) been on Zwift for a couple of years and slowly improved through workouts, group rides etc.
I’ve done the odd event now and again that classified as a race, but never joined one with the intention of actually racing.
Today I decided to see what the Tour Ignite series was all about, I joined (lowest category) with 40 others, was really fun!

Halfway through, some of the riders (most with a club behind their name) started mentioning tourists and how to identify them, and whether certain people in the race were tourists or not. I got the impression that the ‘tourists’ were somehow affecting the race, although I couldn’t tell you who they were!

What is a tourist in the context of a Zwift race? Am I a tourist as a new racer without having joined the race on behalf of a club? Did I somehow ruin their race by not knowing all the rules?

Hi, I recently picked up the zwift ride and kickr core 2 during the $999 promotion, and am really interested in 'real' video rides as opposed to virtual worlds. Also interested mostly in solo training and not as much in social rides or races.

I am aware of Rouvy and have seen some reviews on it, and I think it looks pretty good but still has a bunch of CGI stuff.

From the little bit of info I can find online, Fulgaz looks more up my alley, but actually I can't find a ton of information or reviews about it in the last year.

Anyone here with using Fulgaz that could offer some comments or insight?

How are you charging your handle bars on the Zwift ride package? I still haven't finished setting mine up, and I've read how they didn't give you a power block for various reasons, but the length of the cord seems problematic. I can only imagine having an extension cord by the center of my bike because the cord doesn't reach to the back. I worry that's going to be a sweat issue on the electrical. Do people buy some kind of female to male USB extension cord so you can run the cord behind the bike out of the way? Or is there something I'm missing?

ZRace yesterday - two laps of the Loop de Loop, taking about 40 minutes. A rider weighing 25kg and with a young boy on a bike pictured in his profile comes second. His W/kg is above 4.
