I do this all the time :) only turn wifi off so i dont get flagged :) i set my weight to 35 kg (which is the minimum accepted on zwift) and power to 2000 w (maximum accepted on zwift), tron bike in 15 hours and leveled up from 0 to 60 in approx. 2 days lol ;)

How was the traffic, especially going up hill? No real shoulders to speak of on skinny roads that make passing difficult. Were drivers generally kind or pissy? I've been thinking about doing highway 49 from Placerville to Auburn and beyond but not sure yet.

Nice Video. Just moved here. IF you like being more off pavement on that trail I know the other side has some good trails between the water and pavement. Saw the dirt. Did only a part of the trail from folsom past the beaches and the cliff sign that said no stopping. Any reccommendations if you want to get in the gnar a bit..

Park Rangers also write tickets on the Golden Gate Bridge for speeders too.

This sure looks like from J Street Bridge, not Fair Oaks Bridge. I recognize the Sacto State campus to the right and Guy West Bridge to the left. Got me confused for a while, so I had to look it up on the Google Street View 🙂

My assigned category is too strong for me....waiting for Zwift to recalibrate....is there anything I can do?...yes six categories would benefit me.

Might try this weekend. I was trying to decide if the CW loop climbing from the Confluence was safer than than the CCW look climbing from salmon falls. The video helped. Thanks.

Thanks 😊

Just make an event at Crit City on The Bell Lap. It is a 2km route so no need to turn manually. I just made an event for myself and did 20 laps there this morning. That took me 1 hour and 14 minuts and got me 1000 xp. 2x 20 for the KM and 1x 10 for the lap. That is 50xp each round.

The new Sprinters Playground" route in Makuri Island is relatively flat, very short loop and has four Sprint banners. Get your XP on! Also, check out GPlama (Shane Miller) just did a video where he earned 1000XP by riding up the Alpe du Zwift in a workout, then road under the banner (and got the wheels which are an additional 1000XP), the zoomed back down on a TT bike at 60mph. Another consideration is just cranking out kilometers riding with Coco at 2.6 W/kg on a relatively flat route. This cranks out XP pretty fast and has the added benefit of 2.5 multiplier on drops (if you still need upgrades from the drop shop).

About workouts… Workouts can earn you 12 XP per minute (720/hr) if the workout is all interval blocks. And you don’t have to go fast. I climb a big hill in an interval workout. At the end of the workout, I turn around and go downhill getting 20 XP/km . No you don’t get banner bonuses in workouts but you still earn faster in interval workouts unless you ride faster than 35 km/hr. Maybe not 780/hr but not bad if you are slow like me.

You need a stronger core. Upper body is all over the place. Cadence and power are very good. Pull your elbows inward, shoulders down(you will gain power output from the leverage and have a more efficient power delivery). I’ve raced for 38 years.

Is the lands slide part fix

Nice video and riding bro

I’m racing this coming up 2023 season and tryin to find others to train with. Interested?

Nice commentary. That's a strong Cat C sprint whenever hitting over 1200 watts. It was definitely strong enough to win. I agree that you wasted too much energy during the race. I would say Zwift racing is all about efficiency. Since there's no coasting like in the real world you need to save every little bit of energy for the end.

Nice effort at the end. I would say your one minute power would make you a solid B if you can raise your FTP to around 300.

dang thats alot of miles

I am from Michigan and have been looking for videos of this trail, you did a great job recording this is ride. What time of year did this ride take place? I have this trail on my bucket list, I would love to ride it full round trip (Sacramento to Folsom and back to Sacramento)

This is a good group often calling out hazards coming up.. I was riding with a group one time and the guy in front of me did not call out the pole in the middle. I found out the last second and went over the bars. Painful experience.

Hi is there a way I cant contact you? i have similar problem to my fox fork and I saw you on a forum. Thanks

Volcano Circuit 5 times is a 1000xp.

I do this ride on a regular basis, on weekends I'll take it all the way to Folsom and back, about 45 miles total. For those visiting, this trail is highly recommended. Video is excellent, but you can't see all the wildlife darting around. Squirrels, turkeys, coyotes...always something to see!

That’s crazy. If you had the aero with the wattage output you might have caught em

Howcome you havent raced a lot lately?

maybe just me but these types of flat races are boring as hell, everyone chilling like a group ride and then the best sprint win... 0 significant climb lol. Good work though.

Hey! Wanted to ask you if you have any tips for me on how I can grow my RUclips channel(what type of content, any tips/feedback, etc). Thanks!

No to mention, the rider is 50.5 kg. You are definitely correct that this is cheating. But I honestly don't care that much.

watching this half way then realise its a group ride.. that is a decent size group.. I'm really loving the camera angles of the front and back.

I've missed your commentary, it's good to see another video.

You are way better; can narrate while riding

Thanks for posting the race!

Congrats on the race, I learned lessons on this one

They also clearly lie about their weight. If 217 watts = 4.3 watts per kg that would peg this person at 50.4 kg or 111 pounds, which is clearly a lie. I’m a lighter rider all things considers with quite a high FTP (150 lbs / 68 kg) with an FTP of 318 watts = 4.68 watts per kg. So I generally can snag KOMs when I have a mind to. Does this bother me? Not particularly. Losing out on a KOM to a bot isn’t something I would lose sleep over since getting a KOM on a ride isn’t altogether uncommon for me. It would piss me off to see someone else not quite as strong miss out on a KOM because of this, especially if they were excited to get one. That said I also only use Zwift as a training tool to supplement my real world riding / racing. If this person were entering Zwift racing though that would be another story; although I suspect they would be caught an banned very quickly.

Love it

I fail to see the point of doing this. Are they trying to run big numbers to impress other riders or is there some financial or in-game benefit for doing this? This user already has the Tron bike so what possible benefit is there to doing this? Especially for so long a duration. I'm halfway through level 20 but I'm doing it the old fashion way - actually doing the riding. I couldn't imagine pulling those kind of numbers unless they're in the pro tour and a name you'd recognize.

Only climbed three times got the wheels!!! 3-21-2022 💥

Great effort and commentary but if you put it on RUclips we want to see heart rate too.

Huge gap off the gun because the vast majority of “C” riders cannot push 500+W off the gun for 60+sec. Including myself.

Thank you for the 19:30 tip!!!

I would aim for 95% ftp in a 40k and ramp up from there if able. It helps if you know your TTE @ FTP.

I got mine on the 13th attempt =).. got to work for those wheels.

Pretty sure you're a B rider

I like this idea, I would like to give this a try, substitute it for one of my SST session =)... I'll keep you posted once I give it a shot.

awesome, I too like that like that live FTP feature on zwift one day... I also started my SST training for the first time this year, SST is hard, been struggling with it but good to see your FTP improvement gives me hope and will stick it out for another 3 weeks until I do my FTP again.

What maps?

No lightning bolt next to name so .. fake data not a real power number. Yes i have seen many. They cannot get podiums with fake power but can troll everywhere & everyone :).

Isn’t easier for weight doping?

They should really add some routes that are specialized, like a 10k and a 40k, on a completely flat, maybe oval track, that would get extremely competitive!
