Virtual Everesting: 10 tips // Zwift

[@jtkleinosu]

Thanks for putting these tips together. You've inspired me to give vEveresting a shot.

[@lonecyclist]

@@jtkleinosu Happy to hear that! Good luck and enjoy!

Great tips, agree with all of them. The biggest takeaway for me was be prepared for becoming cold quickly when you stop climbing and get that shirt changed.

Tnx for video. 11. Test yourself before and have experience with long distance in Zwift(!). For example: I rode 200+km on MTB last summer, and it was good. This winter I started Zwifting. I tried "The PRL Full" (100mi) in Zwift two month ago. I done, but it was very exhausting. It was my limit. After I took "Uber Pretzel" and "The PRL Full" again (today). And it was much easier. I have good FTP (3.7w/kg), but I am still not sure about "Everesting" physically. 12. Use your Power Zone 2. Even you feel power. 13. About your transmission. I have Tacx Neo Bike and I guess best choice is small front gear. On real bike the same. 14. Prepare your gadget. Reboot, charge and kill all processes except Zwift. I want to make vEveresting in before summer season! :) I am preparing. Tnx you for your videos!

Nice one Roman, I'm a modest cyclist, more of a runner, FTP around 2.5w/kg and I've completed the Uber Pretzel but everesting is something else entirely, just doing the Alpe once in the Uber Pretzel was hard enough! Respect, I hope you do it!

13 hours at 80g per hour is a kilo of sugar. Symbolically, I like that. "By the end of the day, I will have eaten that bag of sugar". Another way to look at it would be to see what kind of cake would be suitable, low enough fat and protein, presumably, and demolish that over the course of the day. If you have 10-20min off 8x, that's plenty of time to eat cake. Lemon drizzle cake may be a good candidate. Or apple pie. Not chocolate, for sure. Sorbet, too.

Thanks you. Do you need to record the ride on your Garmin for everesting cc to accept the ride? Or is Zwift uploaded to Strava fine?

[@lonecyclist]

@@TheSuperSmo Zwift activity uploaded to Strava is perfectly fine. Good luck!

[@TheSuperSmo]

@lonecyclist thx, and weight, do you need to show a recent weight in, like you do in racing? Tomorrow is the day! So ready for this 🤷

[@lonecyclist]

@ well, nobody asks or checks your current weight but for your own satisfaction I recommend to set your current weight in Zwift settings!

Hello! Thanks for video! What is the best cassette for this challenge?

[@lonecyclist]

Hi! I’ve been using 11-32 with a compact (34) chainset. But I used 34x32 only on one lap. For most of the time I’ve been on 34x28, but it depends on your fitness level.

[@VadimKiselev1982]

@@lonecyclist Thanks! I've ordered 11-32 too. With my 11-28 was too hard on 10-12%.

[@lonecyclist]

Good luck!

@@lonecyclist 11-32 is God’s greatest creation. (Until I Invest in a 10-34, of course.)
