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.

Gutsy move attacking on the riser! You almost pulled it off - nicely done.

[@CaedmonCycling]

Thanks, really enjoyed this route 👍

[@drumtoe]

That was the best place to launch. Push over the crest to maximize the speed on the descent while you recover.

[@CaedmonCycling]

Yeah, I think I pulled off the power too early on the downhill which killed my speed 😅

[@roadcyclist1]

I was in this race. I failed to go with that attack on the final hill and it cost me. I should have known better. Got 6th. Ill post my recording to my channel.

[@CaedmonCycling]

Oh nice! What’s your channel name? I always like watching these races from different perspectives

[@nicklaughton3163]

You won’t be back in C long with a finish like that, great effort 💪. Thought your heart rate monitor would explode!

[@CaedmonCycling]

Haha, my heart rate is so rested it actually feels fine being that high. It’s more the legs that just don’t have the endurance right now 😅 hopefully I can continue enjoying C for a bit longer.

[@joeyr4869]

Some chain lube would really help with that squeaky chain in the background. Bonus points if you’re using your trainer for power as the drivetrain losses will be less if it’s lubed

[@CaedmonCycling]

Ahh, yeah. I lube it almost every other ride, might just need a new chain all together. I’ll take any watt savings I can get 👍

[@ImGlossy63]

Great ride Caedmon!! I didn’t realize you were the one that went early. Not until I saw this did I realize it was you up the road. I got to watch the Zwift Community races on Monday to get a good idea when to go. Luckily the slow pace (2 min slower than Monday) helped with that final push. Again awesome race and hope to see you out there again soon.

[@CaedmonCycling]

Hey, nice racing and congrats on the win! Yeah, the slow pace helped so I felt good for the finish and decided to try going longer. I just didn’t carry enough pace down the hill. You came flying past like a bullet for the win, I had no chance to jump on. Nice work, and I’m sure I’ll see you out there again soon!

[@craig3141]

Great racing! Great result! I love your level-headed commentary at 190+HR! Keep it up!

[@CaedmonCycling]

Hey, thanks! 185+ is certainly pushing it for me, but I do my best to talk a bit between breaths 👍

[@MayhemZwifting]

Great push at the end! I should be back in C cat soon! 🎉🎉🎉

[@CaedmonCycling]

Whether it’s in B or C, I look forward to seeing you again on the start line 👍

[@bat502]

Nice ride. Always seems to get hotter in the mountain of lava 🥵

[@CaedmonCycling]

Thanks, I really like this route 👍

[@DrPsicotic]

Nice final sprint!

[@CaedmonCycling]

Thanks!

[@RoadtoA]

However, you were extremely light doing that Ride On!

[@CaedmonCycling]

😂🤣😂

[@ericbarfell]

Atta boy!! looks like a pretty fun route! good final move- that was smart IMO!

[@CaedmonCycling]

Yeah, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this route! I think going long is the way to win here, I just didn’t play it quite right. Took too much rest on the crest and downhill

[@fwschnaar3179]

Love the going long 👍🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

[@CaedmonCycling]

I figured it was a good course to try it!

[@williamwyn]

Wow cracking effort mate!

[@CaedmonCycling]

Thanks!

[@jeffreyanthony7348]

Great job . I'm recovering from Gall bladder removal. Can't wait to get back on the bike .

[@CaedmonCycling]

All the best with the recovery! Zwift is certainly hard to stay away from, but make sure you take time to get back to full health 👍

[@jeffreyanthony7348]

@@CaedmonCycling Will do , it's like being on punishment while your friends are outside having a fun 🤣🤣🤣

[@Woody321]

Service those jockey wheels I bet that where the constant squeaking is coming from

[@CaedmonCycling]

I’ll check them out. I cleaned them recently, but maybe they need replaced

[@fwschnaar3179]

I just watched DGDC do the same Race in the B’s… Your Race 30:30… DGDC Race 28:48… Don’t you miss the B’s 🤔😂👍🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️

[@bat502]

Is that all it was? Eric was flying

[@CaedmonCycling]

Ooh, no thank you, I’m perfectly fine where I’m at 😅

[@fwschnaar3179]

Me too… I Finally! Got moved back to the C’s and I’m way Happier 👍🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️

[@frannyyarina]

👏👏💪💪

[@ptp1969]

You went just a bit too early which made you not reach high enough speed on the way down to the bridge. You should get to supertuk speed there to stay away.

[@CaedmonCycling]

Yeah, I definitely mismanaged the finish there. I was feeling good, but just didn’t have the strategy right.

[@ptp1969]

@@CaedmonCycling With you back in C and seeing that much gray, blue and green in the graph you should have enough left for such finishes. And perhaps enough to tire them out a bit along the way.

[@CaedmonCycling]

Yeah, I felt like I had a lot left in the tank after this one. Probably should’ve pushed harder the second we hit the final roller section to force the issue!
