I’ve had a few dropouts of late. I’ve moved the PC closer to the trainer and away from the fan, and not had a problem since.
I get dropouts if my PC has not been rebooted recently. I also got a 2m USB extension cable and now have the ANT dongle about 50 cm from my Turbo Trainer. Not had any dropouts since… WIFI is a different matter. If I remember, rebooting Wifi before a big ride works well, but I normally forget. Wifi went down 20s after I finished the KOA race today
Two weeks ago all of our TTT team had lost connection at some point. At first we all thought was individual issues, but once we knew we’d all had it we put it down to a local issue.
@stenard you seem to missing the obvious solution, which is to sell up and buy that house in Scotland with the endless pool. Should help with the interference.

AdZ sub-hour, that’s about it really

The only time it’s gone quirky for me is if I have by BT speaker close to the Ant+ dongle. I know it should affect anything but it happened twice and each time I moved the speaker, didn’t have an issue.

Just tried splitting my devices half on bluetooth (power/HT) and half on Ant+ (controller and cadence). Was only on for an hour -but no drops - promising start.

After my TTT disaster again I did the London 8 loop, another one ticked off.
I might do one of the Lutscher courses tomorrow if I get time, Innsbruck isn’t on very often and I’ve only done one course.
Just make sure you double your alloted time for the lead in lap and climb on Innsbruck!

It’s about another 10k isn’t it, is the climb big, Zwifthub doesn’t show that. Either way I should be alright.
It’s the same climb you do on the route. Assuming your doing one of the Lutscher ones.
The route officially starts and finishes at the top, but you gotta climb it to start the route.
So that 10k lead in includes 20-30 mins. Of climbing!!

Anyone going for badges fancy the PRL full at some point? One of the bigger ones, hence better done in a group ride to get some drafting
I’ve already done it ( on TT bike) it’s bad but IMO not as bad as Uber Pretzel. My tip is pedal up to 50kph at the top of the dip after banner, free wheel down and get off and stretch.
I did this for the last 4 descents and it made abig difference.
I think I averaged 1.9 w/kg so most folks are faster.
Set up a meetup with one other person and you start at the top, no lead in. Same with any route with long lead in.
Climb takes me 35-40mins 
May tackle PRL Full this weekend, but depends on a ride with a friend that I am waiting to hear about. If it ends up being a weekend at home, I think a PRL Full is on the cards. Wouldn’t be able to join a group ride, unfortunately, as that needs organisation, and I prefer to wake up and see how my body feels at the weekend. I expect there will be drafting on course regardless, due to the number of people online.
Edit: looks like I am around 10 minutes at 200 watts on the box hill climb, add 3 minutes descent, then 9km between laps is 15 minutes at 36kmph, which seems high but as a proxy that gets to 28 minutes per lap. 11 laps = 5:08 super aggressive target.
Same approach but more realistic with 175 watt climb = (11 + 3 + 20) x 11 = 6:14 target
Don’t think there is a lead in on PRL FULL, it starts with the regular 14km loop doesn’t it?
That’s some good numbers and you guys are stronger than me but for reference. I tried to hold 2.4-2.5 w/kg, that was my plan. I fell short of that in the end by some way, and I didn’t go out way above that.
My second climb was fastest (IIRC 11.45) and by the end, I was climbing closer to 14.30. One thing I did on the London bit of the loop (which I never normally do) is drop the small ring on the short and nasty climb. I can’t remember what it’s called but it’s the one after the sharp right hand turn.

I’m saving the “long” ones for the winter.
With my TTT issues I reckon a meet-up is beyond my technical capabilities
