@Mari33a , excellent! I do hope it serves you well. The app will do a beautiful job bridging between your ANT+ and BLE devices, trust me.

Bad neck ache resulting in bad headache. Was a struggle, but got the daily milage in.

At least the parrot was good and didn't shriek at me as I pedaled lol

Tour de Zwift stage 6 - did the short route due to having an appointment this afternoon and that biting enough time out of my day to preclude doing the long route.

@SavageMrsMoose LOL Sometimes my parrot cheers me on. Sometimes he tells me he wants step-ups while I'm in the middle of hard efforts. Sometimes he engages me in 'close encounters of the 3rd kind' whistling competitions. And sometimes, he just decides to banshee-shriek at me because I'm not head-bobbing hard enough for his pleasure/attending to his will RIGHT NOW. African Gray parrot, very much a twerp.

@billbiggers06 Great to have you in the challenge! I am envious of your location for the hills (I'm a long-term amateur roadie, and I LOVE climbing - but I live where there are no hills to speak of). Am following you on Strava now. Could never do the mountain bike thing myself - strong aversion to breaking my bones, and I have a grand penchant for falling off of things (my gravel bike was pretty much destroyed thanks to me taking it on single-track and into trees/off boulders/etc. It also went to go dance on the beach for a bit and may have hit some ocean water, hence why I'm /still/ waiting on a replacement bottom bracket for it lol). I'd rather slide down the road at 20 mph in my lycra than smash into a tree at ???. 😆

Done with the daily 10! Gah, I wish it'd warm up outside. I'd love to start riding to have snacks at the shopping plaza down the road. Or just tear the paved trails up on my Bianchi. It cries in my garage. Thank goodness there's Zwift and my old '72 Schwinn on its direct-drive trainer to fill the deficit during cold days.

@billbiggers06 As long as that includes virtual elevation, I'd be game! IRL, there's about zero elevation gain around here. We have a bridge that goes up 200 ft lol

If I may, I proclaim there's a special place in the fires of Hades for high cadence workouts. This particular week in the workout plan I'm doing on Zwift is NOT my favorite lol

@billbiggers06 Yeah, manual entries are the way to go. When I was onboard the ship, before I got a Viiiiva HRM to bridge between the stationaries there to my iPhone so I could Zwift, I'd just take a picture of the screen of the stationary (and the treadmills when I'd use them) and load 'em for evidence of what I was doing.

Daily 10 done. Pace Partners would be nicer if you could silence the voices in Zwift when people spam them for miles on end. Ugh.

For some reason, there seems to be a communication error between Zwift and Strava. Just gonna load a screenshot of the completion screen from Zwift for evidence of the ride.
