Short Tempo ride and a short climb on @zwiftrides.bsky.social before heading out of town.

Based on our speed tests, we've chosen the 10 best overall road bike frames in Zwift today. This isn't just a stack rank of the most aero bikes in the game - we took into account how each frame performs across a variety of routes, and how they perform in their un-upgraded vs fully-upgraded states...

Another Zwift training session done. Anyone else on Zwift ?

Rained all day and a heavy rain warning was issued in my region. Stayed home and went downstairs to my pain cave before supper. I was not able to find a social ride event at the time and settled for a short race in Makuri. I span pretty hard in the last lap to finish 1st. #zwift

27.03mi/43.5km - Zwift - Riding around in Watopia this morning. #Zwift #Cycling

Oh wait! I got a podium on a race today 🔥💪🏻🥉 I chased hard and I was able to keep with the front group 🔥 I am happy!! 🥳 2025/04/29 - Race: Stage 5: After Party: Hell of the North (D) on Hell of the North in France youtube.com/live/ig_p4Eu... @zwiftrides.bsky.social @gozwift.bsky.social

Getting my endurance back is such a pain some days. But I also enjoy it. It's a true love/hate relationship. Yesterday was the longest ride on Zwift I've done since my surgery...and it felt like it. Pushed it on my last lap to grab some sweet PRs. 😮‍💨/🤗.

Skipped #Parkun in Seaside Park in the morning. Rode on the indoor trainer late at night. Joined a #Zwift race as a D rider. Span pretty hard for 20 km on Neokyo route with 20 others. I stayed in the main pack most of the time. Although I sprinted in the last 800 m, I finished at 7th / 20.

first try using a custom workout to climb the Alpe du #Zwift. Need to rework it to finish in ~1:20 (including the lead-in) so I can harvest those sweet sweet XP on the descent. It'll be a while before I can do the climb in <1h, but I'll get there.

This weekend's routes feature progressively steeper finishing climbs. See route details and last week's Tiny winners:

@zwiftrides.bsky.social VO2Max workout this morning. Got a little ragged toward the end!

Good workout on @zwiftrides.bsky.social this morning. Had to make a conscious decision to ignore Zwift yelling at me about cadence.

2 rounds @zwiftrides.bsky.social rides this chilly morning. A short warmup on at the new cobbles, and 25 miler with my MS 150 friends.

This week's races alternate between climby and flat. Two of each... which do you prefer? See route details and last week's Tiny winners:

CANYON//SRAM Racing Can’t race Paris-Roubaix Femmes avec Zwift? Can't make it along this weekend? Here's the next best thing... Join Tiffany Cromwell on Zwift tomorrow for a strength workout on the new Hell of the North route. 🤝🤪🇫🇷 www.zwift.com/eu/events/vi... #Zwift #Cycling

Hell of the North ride completed! That was really fun throwing in Petite KOM at the end! Bonus pic of my Zwift setup. #Zwift #France #PetiteKOM #HelloftheNorth

One of those days when all I wanted to do was crawl into bed instead of training but I trained anyway.

The pave of Paris Roubaix is now on Zwift @zwiftrides.bsky.social

New route! #Croissant in #France. Two and half laps before work. Very pretty. I think this will be my favorite multi lap course, even over the volcano circuits. #Zwift @zwiftrides.bsky.social

From last night, my first #zwift podium! Winner went early and I banked on us catching him. My sprint power was lackluster but enough to plow to 3rd. Big jump in velo score to gold, beating a bunch of platinums! @zwiftrides.bsky.social #bikesky #cyclinglife #training #cycling #bikelife

Day 2 highlights include the beautiful Sant Salvador climb, new friends, great food, a dip in the Mediterranean, and an appearance by Cav himself!

Further to this… I have now unlocked the STRIPEY socks! #Zwift #VirtualRide #Exercise

27.05mi/43.5km - Zwift - BIG SPIN, Douce France in France this morning. Prize, 25,000 XP #Zwift #Cycling

Another rainy day outside is not an excuse. #zwift #cycling #levelup @zwiftrides.bsky.social

Hundreds of Zwifters have arrived in Mallorca for a few days of quality riding and IRL hangout time at Zwift Community Live 2025. Here's Eric's story of the first day...

Zwift will now record your ride stats 'for real life!' www.cyclingweekly.com/fitness/its-...

Furthest cycle ever today, totally wasted now but ready for food #zwift

2 laps of the course, so 2 chances on @zwiftrides.bsky.social big spin, but still haven't managed to get the BMX 😕 And all I managed to get during the ride was this stupid green sprinters jersey 🤣🤣 2 more days to keep trying 🤞

27.34mi/44km - Zwift - BIG SPIN, Watopia's Waistband in Watopia again this morning. Chrome glasses. Nice to be back on my Dogma F bike, I'm going to stick with it all the way through the 5 upgrades. #Zwift #Cycling

⏱️ 00:30:50 🛣️ 18.83km ⛰️ 166m+ 🪫 204W ❤️‍🔥 172bpm 🍔 398kcal Second race of the evening, holding onto the top 5 on the rolling Scotland Smash route. Much less impressed at the upgrade to silver. #cycling #zwif... https://lee-perry.co.uk/activities/2025-04-02-drsx-race-6

Well it's 43°F in Hurley but it's always sunny in Watopia. 3 laps of Waistband Watopia for a triple Big Spin! Feel pretty good for a indoor half century. #Zwift #WatopiaWaistband #ZwiftBigSpin #Y2KHackerKit #ChromeSunglasses @zwiftrides.bsky.social

This race route takes you on a flat route through the perma-dark streets of Neokyo before heading up the Rooftop KOM for a spicy finish!

Hard ride this morning; grabbed a green and a polka-dot while tooling around London. Great way to start the week. Gonna do a double #BigSpin tomorrow, me thinks. #Zwift

I did a double Big Spin event this evening after a rest day. Jurassic Coast and Douce France. Hit some nice PR's. #Zwift #Watopia #France #ZwiftBigSpin @zwiftrides.bsky.social

Season Opener for #30DaysOfBiking en🇫🇷 avec @zwiftrides.bsky.social

My week off starts in 3 hours. Looks like I'm only going to get 2 days where I could possibly ride outdoors. Lucky for me the Zwift big spin is doing makeup days. I still need a few items from the prize wheel. #Zwift #BigSpin #HudsonValley @zwiftrides.bsky.social

All done with my workout for the evening! I did a weightlifting routine also. (15.48 mi) ✨💪🏾🍑⭐ Now to stretch, refuel, and relax. 🥵 strava.app.link/aICsR7NycSb strava.app.link/ufPuErPycSb @zwiftrides.bsky.social #zwift #hevy #gaybiker #timeforrelaxation #legshurt #getsomegoodrest #healthyheartwork

Happy Sunday all. It is Sunday right? Working overnights I sometimes I don't really know most of the time. Bailey cat doesn't know either. #Zwift #WatopiaWaistband #Bernie @zwiftrides.bsky.social

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I'm working hard this weekend, lol. #Zwift #NightShift #WatopiaWaistBand #ZwiftBigSpin #DinoPowerKit #Level76 @zwiftrides.bsky.social

38 miles on Zwift this afternoon. 11 miles warm up with Coco then stage 4 of the Zwift Big Spin on the Watopias waistband route. Managed 9th out of over 600 starters, helped by it being fairly flat. Finished off with 10 miles cool down with Coco 🚴‍♂️

⏱️ 00:45:05 🛣️ 25.3km ⛰️ 117m+ 🪫 159W ❤️‍🔥 149bpm 🍔 415kcal Second ride of the evening was the SnowSocial Sprint &amp; Spink in Neokyo, though I had to drop after 45 minutes as canine child was misbehaving. ... https://lee-perry.co.uk/activities/2025-03-28-evening-ride-2

Wonderful way to remember your brother-in-law Richard, and do something in his memory for a fantastic cause ❤️

Found my favorite workout in Zwift. It's called Endurance Building Blocks and I rode the Douce France course which is stage 3 for the Big Spin. I got the headphones. #Zwift #BigSpin #EnduranceBuildingBlocks #DouceFrance @zwiftrides.bsky.social
