Woke up at 4a and couldn't get back to sleep, so went down to the basement and rode Zwift until my alarm went off. Only 18 minutes, but it's more than 0 so I'm happy.

No, but Zwift workouts ask me to hold an arbitrary % of my FTP at an arbitrary cadence which doesn't necessarily line up with what I'd be doing on any real terrain.
Pretty sure that is erg mode (default for workouts). Try it in normal.

Is there any tool to take a real route and find which route in Zwift would be most comparable to it? There's a climb event I want to do and finding an analogue isn't easy.

I think it might be easier to do this. "Convert a real-life route to a Zwift workout"https://whatsonzwift.com/gpx-to-zwift-workout
Interesting. That looks promising. Thank you!

I really don't know. Aside from tracking rides it doesn't really do anything well, and that part is free.

Look at the swift hub too, if you are using swift especially.

I have an original hub so I ordered the upgrade kit to get the virtual shifting stuff. Should be nice for this winter season.

Ugh. Got to 5.0 miles and 875ft in on Road to Sky (Alpe du Zwift) before running out of steam. Turned around for another couple miles and kissing 55mph. Gives me a starting point to start from at least. Goals for next season roughly match AdZ (CO natl monument and Boulder's Flagstaff climb) among other events so lots of conditioning coming over winter.

Mine is a scosche rhythm that just keeps trucking and never gives me crap. A v1 because I didn't like the strap on the newer ones so much.

I like my swift hub. Seems to do the job fine, but maybe I just don't know what I'm missing.

Did an hour on it tonight. Works well.

10 minutes, if that, to convert the Zwift hub from skewer and 11s to through-axle and their cog thing. Not bad. Now to give it a try.

E: Zwift cog thing is good.

I have a zwift hub and ride it with zwift on an iPad and TV or youtube or something streaming running on a giant TV in front of me. It works fine.

I have an iPad on a stand next to me and a 50 something inch TV that I watch YouTube on. Aside from varying terrain I don't find the lovely Zwift graphics holding much interest. I did start with Zwift on the big screen via PC but that changed quickly.
