Virtual Zwift Rides

Ah, just read it’s Event Only. So pointless to me. I have no idea about these seagulls, I don’t think I’ve ever seen any?

Don’t worry, it will open up in due course.

Knocked off 2 NYC routes this afternoon after I bailed\wimped the run due to the thunder storm.

Only 1 left which I might do tomorrow.

Looks like @stenard has Paris’ Green Jersey :scream::trophy::checkered_flag:

It’s not so hard when you’re the only one in the Paris world due to hacking in!

Club mate has already done Ventoux. Apparently way way harder than AdZ

What’s the magic number for the prefs file? I tried 7 I think. Will keep going.

Quite a bit more than that. You need to download a few python scripts and trick zwift into loading up in an offline mode. I’m guessing that’s because if it’s connected to the servers then they’ve done something to tell the game those worlds shouldn’t be live, even though they’re in the code

Just ticked off the last NYC route, good riddance to that miserable world.

Why is the NYC course so derided?

I quite like it.
That and Yorkshire suit me.
As in, they seem to be shorter power climbs and I actually overtake people.

Vs eg Alpe de Zwift, which is just a harsh reminder of real race days where it seems everybody on a f’ing bike goes past me.

I even think the best part of Watopia is Titans’ grove. And not just cos the dinosaurs are cool.

I’m surely not alone in this?

Maybe if you’d put some effort in and not taken over 75 mins you’d have got those wheels

Maybe if I didn’t pass 700km for the week whilst going up ADZ, I’d have been able to put some effort in :rofl::wink:

Easier way established.

Works for Windows 10…not sure about macs.
Go into your zwift folder on your computer and there’s a file called something like mapschedule_prev. Open it, change the the worlds on the two days nearest to today’s date with the current day’s guest worlds listed, to be France and Paris, then save. Create a copy of the file and replace _prev with _v2. Make both files read only. You’re done. And this is real live zwift so all features should work and you may accrue badges. To get back to the normal world schedule, just deselect both files from being read only and reload the game. Easy.

I might have a go tomorrow, ta.

It sounds like it will be announced this week presumably around the time the tour would usually start.

Not really sure about NYC, it’s a very rolling course but that’s actually quite realistic at ground level in central park.

I think it’s been said before that they could have had more of NY in it instead of just having the raised sections.

Like in the TdF it sounds like your riding your way into form, should be going quicker next week off no rest days…

Did big foot hills today, about 70k with the lead in, rolling , neither mountain, no jungle. It was a lovely 2.5hr ride. My favourite route so far
