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.

Good grief! That was a sufferfest. I had heart palpitations just watching! You gave that everything you had plus. Eye of the tiger.

[@CaedmonCycling]

Thanks Linda! Hope you are doing well and have a Happy New Year 🎉

[@Gnzo13F]

Just did this today. Attacked solo off the start. Separated for 3 min. Got caught. Attacked again. Got caught then sat in the group to finish 7th. Almost had 5th but got swarmed at the last second. The rollers before the sprint get your HR up real good. Makes it for a hard sprint ! Nice job again staying in the front

[@CaedmonCycling]

Nice, way to animate the race and still finish at the top 👍 well done!

[@gkuok224]

193bpm, that's insane! Well done, I know that feeling, but don't give up, you cross the line.

[@CaedmonCycling]

I always try to give it everything, but yes, the HR got a bit out of control the last few minutes 😅

[@psymanj73]

Great racing, Caedmon! 🎉 Brilliant job staying with the front group! 💪 🚲 Looking forward to more videos in 2024 and to watch you improve up the B cat ranks! 👊

[@CaedmonCycling]

Thanks Simon 👍

[@MayhemZwifting]

Great work🎉🎉🎉

[@MarkyMarkZwifts]

Awesome job hanging with the front group until the end, that final 3km was gnarly! Great stuff, especially after a break from the bike 👊💪

[@CaedmonCycling]

Yeah this is always a fun route with those final rollers. Thanks Mark!

[@marccale9890]

That was a tough race! I was delighted to still be there at the end! If there had been a massive acceleration between the viaduct and the rollers at the end I'd of been dropped. Always nice to race with you...plus it makes me try harder knowing I'll be watching it a day later :-)

[@CaedmonCycling]

Hey, always fun racing with you! Yeah, the rollers at the end are brutal and I just didn’t have more in the tank. Nice result 👍

[@Gnzo13F]

More zone 2!!!!

[@CaedmonCycling]

Haha yes, I’ve only ridden a couple times in the last few weeks. Time to get back into Zone 2 work in the New Year 👍

[@Gnzo13F]

@@CaedmonCycling hope my zone 2 comments haven’t come off as negative. I enjoy watching your races on my lunch break haha. You’re doing well and I simply can’t help giving advice to what I know will make you better. I did 12 weeks of only zone 2 and was shocked to be the one attacking in B races and still finishing top 5

[@Gnzo13F]

@@CaedmonCycling also would be really fun to race one with you

[@CaedmonCycling]

I always appreciate the comments 👍 I do know the power of Zone 2, it’s just been a matter of getting on the bike consistently recently. You have me motivated so I’m about to jump on the bike for some more Zone 2 shortly haha!

[@thecoffeeblog]

You were barely holding to the group at the end. Nevertheless, you had some energy for a final sprint. It wasn't that bad. There are a lot of red-zone though. I keep my fatigue levels ATL below 50 to keep up racing every day. Otherwise, it will burn me out.

[@CaedmonCycling]

My HR was the highest it’s been in awhile, but I definitely didn’t want to see it that high with over 1km left. RGV is always a tough finish with the rollers.

[@mayapun5181]

U said I give everything bro do better next time I wanna see u win fight aaaaaaa

[@CaedmonCycling]

Haha, I’m trying my best 😅
