    I love that you drink maple syrup from the container. I have the same syrup from Costco here in Canada and use it on many foods. We use Discord when riding on Zwift and have as many as 20 people all on the same server. We chat more on Discord when riding on Zwift than we do while out riding. Great video of the climb, now I know what to expect.

    I always find indoor cycling a lot more difficult than outside. I struggle up climbs I can do outside (I have recorded some of my favourites) and sweat buckets. I have cooling fans pointed at me and have tried calibrating the bike several times but I just find it tougher.
    You are right about the wind this year, it’s been irritating in the UK. Very few calm days.

      @@John64125 Because biking in general is a mind game. That is why it is also easier to drive with others and you will even output more watt compared to alone, it is wierd how the brain works.

    You need to be getting in touch with the folks at the Zwiftcast. They are looking for a female Zwifers perspective to be a part of the show. You would be perfect for it.

    Way to grab those polka dots! I’ve not tried the grade yet as I almost always ride outside in summer (US here..). The alpe is my fav climb on zwift, followed by box hill. Ven-top is just no fun; only done it once and found it harder than Ventoux IRL…

      I think since Julliet usually has a flask with her on bikepacking trips of some sort of "spirit", It would be fine for you to have a flask of maple syrup. I will not judge.​@KatieKookaburra

    Costco in the U.K.? Nice....Peak Performance is THE route to do The Grade. If you are into maximum punishment, ride Oh Hill No!
    The Alpe du Zwift and Ven-Top are as accurate as possible reproductions of the real life rides.

    Another great video. I noticed you aren’t riding your Tacx Bike, is that because you’re using the bike you’re taking or do you prefer your bike on the trainer to the dedicated Smart Bike?

    • @KatieKookaburra
      @KatieKookaburra  23 години тому

      Personally for turbo sessions I prefer the movement you get on the 2T or the 3M. But if I was racing, or wanted to share a turbo with someone else in my family then the bike would be preferred. Also if you don’t have a spare bike for the turbo or don’t want to take yours on and off every time that’s defo a consideration :)

    Does anyone else get motion sickness from Zwift? I think it's because the bike's stationary but my mind's tricked by the movement on the screen.
