RYANS EPIC RACE - Alpe Du Zwift INTRO | PART ONE!

Before we start, I just want to say that this video is a big one, even by my standards. I have edited it down as much as I feel appropriate but it was such a big event that I wanted to try and keep as much in the video as possible.
So I have decided to break this video up into two parts. Part One is the build up and start of the race.
Watch Part Two RACING UP ALPE DU ZWIFT! with Erik Lee and 240 riders - • RACING UP ALPE DU ZWIF...
All I ask is that you don’t skip part one or skip to the end of part two as the build up and the race itself is so Epic, I want you to watch it all as I attempt to climb (and race) up Alpe Du Zwift in under 80 minutes.

Last week I recorded and uploaded a new Ryan Epic Race announcement video… • NEW Epic Race Announce...
If you fancy seeing the full on, unedited video that includes everything from intro to ending then I will upload that video onto my Patreon page.
It’ll be like watching Godfather one, two and three back to back. But better!

Great part one video Ryan. Cool to see yours and hear Erik's excitement for the torture to come...lol. Glad to be one of your 241 riders!!!

Great challenge Ryan!! I had never rode the ADZ route until this challenge. Was a great motivator for me to try the climb. Of course I had to give it my all and finished the climb in 16th at 50 mins 49 secs Thanks for the push Ryan! 💪

[@RyanCondon]

Blimey. And that was your first effort?!? 🙏 Welldone. 🙌

Glad you both found the comment funny…I take it back …Eric seems like a great pace partner / coach. The race was great, thanks again and I look forward to the next challenge! Btw, do you know you are currently just outside the top 50 for the Lap it up series after 4 races? That’s some going given more than 4300 have done at least one race!

I originally signed up for this ride but ended up having to work, boo.

[@ryancraig2795]

Would have liked to join you, but 2 pm on a busy Friday afternoon wasn't good for me. I've watched quite a few of Eric's videos, too, I think he lives fairly nearby in Mississauga. I need a sweat band or do-rag for Zwift and under my helmet when riding.

You know if i was still subbed to zwift i would probably join an event like this. So im thinking next time he does this ill use my zwift free 25km to join lol

[@FoobsTon]

Nice one Ryan. Great video and great event. Chapeau! I'm hoping the second video will contain a Steward's Enquiry however! Who spotted two banners? I reached the first and held my hands aloft as i passed through it, blowing kisses to my fans in the crowd before being led away to my team bus for a rub down from my soigneur and a debrief with my coach. Imagine my absolute horror a little later to see that there was no time for the Alpe segment afterwards. I pinged Zwift to say, WTF? The reply i got was that Ryan had set the event to 17500 metres and the Road to Sky route is 17602. So the full segment wasnt completed. Arrgh! 😮 I really bust my ass figuratively and literally and have no idea how i actually got on on the Alpe proper. So I'm wondering how did everybody else work it out?

[@RyanCondon]

Well thats embarrassing... Imagine finishing too early. 👀

[@VincentVanGestel]

Same here. I crossed the first banner for my first sub 60 minutes, stood still for 20 seconds before spotting there was a second banner with the timer at 59:50min. Did an 800 watt sprint for the final metres. 😅 still got a sub 60 with 5 seconds spare in the end.

Hello Ryan, question is a little off topic, but I need some advice, I recently bought zwift hub one, and I wanted to ask what router you use? because I just can’t choose to start my indoor cycling

[@RyanCondon]

I have no idea. It was already installed when I bought the house. My Wattbike connects via Bluetooth to my Mac.
