That would require coordination and organisation on my part simbil! I'm not great with either  TBH, as it's low effort stuff it's easy enough to just sit on the trainer watching a documentary with Zwift running along to record things. The course / route doesn't matter to me as there's no feedback from the App to my dumb trainer anyway, so I'll just use the chance to explore routes I've not previously ridden. I could just stick on the garmin and record the raw cadence / speed data but as I've paid for Zwift I might as well use it! It might help with making sure I stick to the easy zones, though I do get lured into Sprints and short KOMs by the onscreen graphics. Pity there's no "bike packing" option, I could ride part way up Ven-Top, camp out and then start again from where I've camped! |

We manage every else virtually, why not? I suppose more generally, would be nice to able to drop into anywhere you like on the map (providing you've "unlocked" it first perhaps). |

You can leave your avatar sitting there on the road and go and do other things, but it relies on the system being stable enough not to crash in various ways. I believe people sometimes do this when Everesting which is a cheat if you want to claim you've officially Everested (supposed to be a single ride without a sleep!) but if you just want to get the badge and do a few days of hilly rides... Agree that dropping anywhere would be nice. |

Simbil - have you used them much ? I have tried a few times when on the Fug but keep dropping off the back or going off the front. Felt like I had to stay very close the the BOT all the time or else...

I was hugely frustrated when I rode with the pace partner a couple of times. Same issue as you, PoD. Either off the front or out the back.

Yep, sometimes use them to avoid over doing it on an easy day.
