ZWIFT B Category Is Getting SERIOUSLY Out Of Hand

Racing on Zwift haven't been this fun for awhile! Long race, hard start, many attacks and incredible and hilarious group. I went all in for this one.
My name is Adam, I am 35 years old and I am a former marathon runner who shifted his focus on ZWIFT CYCLING.
Road to A is a channel focused on INDOOR ZWIFT RACING with the ultimate goal of reaching the A+ CATEGORY. Is it progression realistic? Maybe. I'll need to train a lot and lose a lot of weight, too. However, I believe the BIGGEST LIMITATIONS riders (and athletes in general) have are those they put on themselves and this channel is my way to prove that idea. If you feel like you are riding (or living) BENEATH YOUR POTENTIAL, you need to tag along! The destination is clear but the journey won't be easy.
Currently I am racing in B CATEGORY.

As for my ZWIFT SETUP - I am riding on a ZWIFT HUB ONE indoor trainer. Steering can give you pretty substantial advantage during the racing and for that I am using the ZWIFT PLAY controllers. I use these for virtual shifting as well and to make sure I'll be covered if they run out of battery or generally stopped working, I've got the ZWIFT CLICK as well. I am running my Zwift in 4K and using the ULTRA settings.

Good effort. As someone who raced in Cat A for years and has recently dropped to Cat B after illness, I'm where you are now. I think more than the increase in average power among those in A, is the recovery and the means to go again after an effort. I also find that Cat B riders tend to think that the strongest rider wins, whereas in CatA, riders understand that race craft can account for more than any delta in power.

@RoadtoA Месяц назад

Definitely. It was just this time the sustained effort in the first 10ish minutes really killed me.

Great race dude. It's a very difficult race.. The mixed catagory really spices it up. I did it myself yesterday and today. It blows up at titans grove kom.. It's all about pushing ourselves. Great work.

Thanks! It really caught me off guard, but it was fun! Great race series.

Dobry den Adam. Fun race. Sorry for all my chatting, but it’s what I do! Great sprint at the end - nearly caught you, but not quite. Keep up the good work and the good YT content. Hope to see you soon (I race every day). Ahoj

Hi Andy! :) Are you kidding, your chatter and banter was what kept me going for the bigger part of the race! I wish there were more riders like you, I genuinely had a blast. Ye, I wanted to really finish strong and my sprint is usually pretty good! But I wouldn't even be there to sprint if you hadn't save me on that first climb, I was really at a bad spot.

Nice riding with you, man. This course tends to suit my power profiles and style, but I pushed it a bit too hard on Titan's today in order to try to draft the lead As, which is the best idea in these mass cat races. The lack of features in the first few Kms means it was always going to kick off on Barfell's bump / Alpe Du Tempus. I'm 100% sure you'll get to A+ and sooner than you imagine, if you carry on.

@RoadtoA Месяц назад

Thank you, was pleasure riding with you! I legitimately couldn't understand what was going on the first few kms, caught me off guard. But it was probably my first mass cat race besides the L'Etape. Really good on you you kept pushing!

@hylucien2980 Месяц назад

i've always liked the idea of zwift, might get myself a bike and join you

@RoadtoA Месяц назад

Do it, it's fun!

For the 8848 jersey it’s free if you do it in one ride but you still unlock the ability to buy it at a reduced price if you get 8848m elevation accumulated over the month, I’ve got 2 of the previous years jerseys and I unlocked but didn’t buy last years, I will be getting this years though 👍

@RoadtoA Месяц назад

Correct! If I manage to do it I'll get the grey stripe, too! I'd buy this one at the reduced price if I didn't complete the challenge as the jersey is just too perfect to overlook. But since I am a cheapo, I'll try to suffer to get it first.

How did you set up this overlays? Like that white gradient map

@RoadtoA Месяц назад

Telemetry Overlay software.

Hello. What training are you doing, any zwift plan ?? And how often do you cycle (rides, races, workouts…) in zwift per week ?? Thanks

@RoadtoA Месяц назад

It's about as unstructured as you could imagine. Races 1-2 times a week, some z2 riding, some workout here and there...about 120-150 km a week. In June I'll go full climbing mode to prepare for the Everesting attempt. When I actually start training in a structured way I might be tapping into some serious gains. :D

@alejandro.a.m Месяц назад

In what level did you start riding ? B, C, D ?? By the way, do you have zwift player or zwift click for virtual shifting ?? Thanks mate

@RoadtoA Месяц назад

@@alejandro.a.m Low D :-) I have both, but mainy use Zwift Play because shifting is OP.

@alejandro.a.m Месяц назад

OP ?? What does it mean ?

@RoadtoA Месяц назад

@@alejandro.a.m overpowered ;)

@EJD2012 Месяц назад

Everest is about 8 Alp's.... So if you do the Alp at 1:30, you will do the Everest at 14 hours (as you need to go down between the climbing as well). Will be a long day.....

@RoadtoA Месяц назад

It will be long as hell. I dread it and am looking forward to it at the same time.
