Yup! It's seriously annoying! I'm hoping in future that it'll turn into a clever-draft, so you'll favour wheels of people in your friends list, or riders you've ridden alongside during the current session longest with, or riders you've ridden with before. Maybe wishful thinking!
Can't wait! Maybe I'll eventually unlock my Tron!
It’s going take over an hour to climb up it and if it mirrors the Alp d”Huez then the average gradient is 8.1%Nice
It will probably kill some trainers

My trainer died - it imploded, it's gone off to CRC. I think tbh if it comes back repaired I might just ebay it and consider a Direto maybe October time.

Show off...I have the Tron and I’m level 25
Sorted out my PC today. It's wicked. Runs silently and fps on 1080 is amazing. Dead pleased with that machine. Now to get back on it. Busy weekend with wife's bday and next week I'm off to the mountains, but I'm planning my unemployment return to riding
So... The fact I met and rode outside with some guys on saturday that I ride with on Zwift and it was a 'club' ride of a Zwift club, do I post it in here?

Alpe du Zwift is probably going to be released prior to Stage 3 of the Tour of Watopia which is April the 9th & 10th.
The tour starts 1st April and each of the stages has a name which links to a route on Zwift... Except for stage 3 which is 'Tour of Fire & Ice'. The ride is 25.1 km (15.6 miles) and has 1166m (3825ft) of climbing. It hints towards a new start point on the map near the Jungle.
Eric Min uploaded a ride with a very interesting screenshot which hints we'll also see some UI changes (check map area).

That looks brutal!
Winner winner chicken dinner!
B grade win on London up & down race, 30km up and and down Box Hill. Chose the Emonda with 202s and it was worth it, the split guaranteed to come on the hill, but after passing the top I drilled it over the pinch to gap a few riders and make them chase first lap.
Came to the line with one other but won the sprint!
In other news my TV wall bracket came today so if the weather is terrible this weekend at least I can make my training room even better. Need some wall hooks or mounts for the bikes too.

Bikes plural? Just for Zwift or do you just have a dedicated bike room?
You’re only down the road. Might have to come steal one

Did you do a quick ride up the new hill before work this morning? If not, I'm very disappointed.
Looks like I'm going to have to TT around Volcano Flat to open the three new routes using Alpe Du Zwift, need to progress one and a tiny bit levels.
Seems very odd that climbing has no extra XP factor over riding flat routes, it's simply the mileage, almost all my ~92000 feet of climbing this year so far counts for nothing more than the 8/9-miles to the summit depending on route.

Didn’t like the bikes being in the shed plus they take up a lot of room in there.
You only get the same credit for uphill, but then you get all the downhill distance for free!

Christ that new route looks tough
Times like this i wish i'd bought a cheaper trainer that doesn't replicate such steep hills! Although at a lowly level 2 so far i've a lot of miles to go to unlock it

Just finished the Alpe, not as many flat spots as the Normal mountain so I found it better to keep a rythm. Got my zwift FTP up from 225 to 239. Feel like i could give a bit more in some areas too.
Next on the list, The Four Horsemen Route
