Zwift is an online game for cyclists and runners. With a smart trainer and a bike, any cyclist can enter the virtual world and compete against other riders from around the world. Zwift has many maps, consisting of mythological worlds and real-life cities. Each rider can decide to ride around solo, with friends, or even join a race against similar-level cyclists from around the world. On this channel, my goal is to share the world of Zwift! I hope you all enjoy exploring Zwift as much as I do.

[@spojce9]

i'm impressed with your heart supporting you with 190+ beats. that's awesome

[@CaedmonCycling]

195 is pretty much as high as it gets. So I’m really struggling whenever I’m up there 😅

[@Milan_Nemec]

Well…I wasnt expecting that kind of attack from you, but you have suprised me in a good way 😊 awesome and brave move Cad! Well done

[@CaedmonCycling]

Just trying to keep everyone on their toes 😀

[@Milan_Nemec]

@@CaedmonCycling yep :) looking forward for next level of Caedmon cycling :) keep pushing mate!

[@BryanMontgomery28]

Bad form hanging onto bot to get into breakaway, Then everyone time he came back someone couldn’t resist trying to join bot again. Enjoy your videos

[@CaedmonCycling]

Hey, thanks for the support! Yeah, I think it was tough and everyone was racing honestly aside from the bot. It just affects other race situations that alter the outcome of a race which is unfortunate. Oh well, we’ll keep racing!

[@MarkyMarkZwifts]

What a strange race! Congrats on the podium though and that was a great long range attack at the end 👊💪 That bot was weird because when it was called out it reduced it's WKG a bit, then it dropped to 0 then it started smashing it again, very odd.

[@CaedmonCycling]

Thanks Mark! Yeah, it was strange how the bot kept a steady pace, but it seemed to change based on where he was in the field. Unfortunate it affected the race, but still happy with the result nonetheless 👍

[@psouthworth]

Thanks for joining my race series Caedmon 👍 We're doing 4 routes each week (Bell Lap, Neokyo Crit Course, Downtown Dolphin, and Glasgow Crit Circuit) four times each day

[@CaedmonCycling]

Hey! Didn’t realize this was your series, but it’s a great setup, so thank you! I enjoy all the Crit routes so I’ll be joining more often 😃

[@thecoffeeblog]

That was a long sprint. Very impressive!

[@CaedmonCycling]

I saw there was a gap to the couple of riders behind, so decided to go for it 👍 luckily it worked out!

[@mayapun5181]

Well bravo my friend 👍 1st in the next video fight @@@@🎉

[@CaedmonCycling]

Hey, thanks for the support!

[@rafalmalinowski]

I think you could race without Controllable paired in Zwift and having basically ERG mode enabled during race - it would make it possible to keep constant watts and be real human being at the same time. The real question is: why?

[@CaedmonCycling]

Yeah, it was strange. But that rider wasn’t on ZP, so I’ll call it a podium haha 👍

[@fwschnaar3179]

Good Job 👍🚴‍♂️… And Yes always Call Out the Bots/Cheaters… Nice that you made a Race out of a Race that someone tried to ruin, by trying to prove nothing, other than the had nothing to prove except THEY SUCK ! 👍

[@CaedmonCycling]

Thanks 👍

[@hagakuru]

way to know your opponents because had you stayed on his wheel at 800m instead of leading out early, he would out sprinted towards the end.

[@CaedmonCycling]

Yes, I had no chance in a heads up sprint, so decided to go early when there was a gap. Luckily it worked out 👍

[@marccale9890]

I love some of the smaller entry races. They throw up "interesting" scenarios like this one! I do think Zwift should be doing better at detecting cheats though. There is no way that the bot was a real rider. If we can see it, surely there must be a way for the system to see it. And it appeared in the final results! I know there is Zwiftpower to fall back on, but the main system should be more clever.

[@CaedmonCycling]

Yeah, these smaller races are definitely less predictable. I’m sure that can make them more enjoyable or less enjoyable than big fields depending on how they play out. The bot certainly affected the race both in the breakaway early and then the main group at the end of the race, but so be it. Just gotta play with the hand your dealt and make the most of it 👍
