You may want to look into a rocker platform for your trainer (allows side to side movement to simulate real riding, some go fwd and back too) if you are doing these epic zwift sessions. A friend has one and says it makes a huge difference (he does 4+ hr rides).1 -
@Rich_SC I've been seriously considering one - the only issue is room in my workout room. There's three of us... of different heights... so we all have personalized trainers and bikes up there. Plus a treadmill. Plus a workout bench with freeweights. Plus that's where my parrot's night cage is. That room is stuffed to the gills.
I may have to take some measurements and see what can be done, though - it'd help a lot with the joint issues both I and the BF have.
So today's ride... recorded as 0.01 miles short. I am still counting it as my daily 10, because there's a portion of the lead-in and the warmup spinning I did that doesn't have any recorded milage, dang it!! (and I'm not jumping back on the bike for about 25 pedal strokes lolz) Meaning... it's recorded as 9.99 because that's what Strava says, but I'm saying I'm keeping my New Years Resolution to do a minimum of 10 miles a day as long as I have a bike available, darn it.

On vacation in Costa Rica so I'm being very active, but not on a bike!
I'll get back to my Peloton when I'm home in two weeks.3 -
First logged ride on the new bike. Launched into a workout that quickly ramped up to an 11% grade, so was a very tough 6 miles. I’ll need to figure that out! Good workout, but fewer miles.

@wendsg - I’m new and obviously late to join but I’d love to be included, since I’m in Australia I’ll have to convert my kilometers into miles, but that’s ok, an extra challenge for me 😉🤣

@SimpleSimonEU Oh that stinks! Hope you are well soon
I was really hoping to start catching back up, but I got really sick last weeks. Not Covid, but still bad. Ended up on a course of steroids. Feeling much better today.

@Tracyleneva Welcome to our group!! 3256 km is more than doable in the time remaining in the year - have fun!!
Daily 10 done. Extra due to coasting down the virtual hill. It's ALMOST warm enough to start riding outside! (and watch, now that I've said that, we're going to have a cold snap again lol)

@ashleycarole86 I hope you are having a fabulous time in Costa Rica! For a minute, I thought that was where Matt Wilpers had his wedding this weekend - it was actually Nicaragua - HA - but I was going to ask if you tried to crash it! The photos on Instagram were great though! Are you on Instagram? I am melissacoon9 if you want to follow each other. I'm private, but accept followers from people I know - even if its only from other online sources!1

I am a walking wad of sweat and agony. I should know better than to try to stick to a group of young men in a Zwift event that suddenly became a race lolz

24.7 miles today for a grand total of 192. Why does it feel like 500 when I stand up to walk?!
Beautiful morning in the redwoods and 1400’ of climbing for the win! Search & Rescue training tomorrow but hope to get some spins in Sunday morning

@billbiggers06 Am glad to entertain while I seethe in jealousy over your gorgeous riding route!!
I am getting really, REALLY good at this 'wait until the last danged minute in the day and peeve off the parrot by making him stay up 5 minutes late to finish the daily 10' thing.

32 beautiful miles today. 103 for the week, 224 for the year. Getting there! And yes, I did ride up and down the street to hit an even 32. :-)
https://strava.app.link/v6dTjoMQmxb2 -
@SimpleSimonEU Congratz on kickin' the coof!! Bet'cher lookin' forward to those miles, yeah? Have fun on your rides!!
@billbiggers06 Very nice!!! (and absolutely no foul in going up and down the street to hit an even number - I do that crap in Zwift all the time to get those extra experience points lmao)
Daily 10 done! Nice and (almost) effortless. Did ditch the pace partner so I could sprint it out, and it was no major loss because the counter, I discovered, is bugged that it doesn't tick up if you aren't on your own avatar. So when you're incapable of getting your Zwift Companion to sync with the app on your computer while riding and go give manual ride-ons via clicking on other people and giving them an individual ride-on, your multiplier doesn't increase. Booooooo.
No guilt sprinting when the multiplier was only x1.2 at 6 miles into the stupid ride lol - hit over 600 watts and held it for a solid 5 seconds! Good times. Held over 500 for the next 15 seconds, too. My avatar's butt didn't hit the seat until well past the goal posts.
