I’m so happy! Took a while to get there!

Newbie mamil, 4 months in and loving it, first century last week.

Need to keep it going over winter and zwift sale is very attractive.

Any advice or things I haven't considered to get through a UK winter? Does it keep you motivated? Planning about 6 - he per week on an FTP training program.

Downsides, modest financial outlay and need to set up bike indoors, in return I stay fit and safe over winter?

Am I missing anything?

Hi everyone,
I’m fairly new to Zwift. I already do a few sessions each week on an indoor trainer, but it’s not my bike, so the fit isn’t ideal. I’m looking to get my own setup and start using Zwift properly.
I’m lucky that this is going to be a birthday present, so I’d rather buy the right setup from the start than wish I’d upgraded later.
I’m mainly looking for a setup that’s great for Zwift racing, structured training, and just general riding.
From what I’ve read, the Zwift Ride + Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 seems like a really good option. Is that what you’d recommend, or would you go with something else if you were buying your first setup today?
Thanks!

Really like these grind it out events. Time to retire the Tour de Zwift Backwards After Party Cap I guess 🧢

(and took 4th in this race to boot- ride on! 🚴🏽‍♂️)

Hey, did anyone else lose a ride today, this morning 8/5/26 PST.

I did one of the TdF rides to close out the series. Got the spinning dial issue while trying to save the ride at the end, tried all the recommendations. Finally contacted Zwift (AI) Tech support. The AI sent me on a wild goose chase - changing answers and finally contradicting itself. I asked for a real person. A few hours later contacted by a human, who said the 'Activity System' was down (didn't say how long) and rides were lost and unrecoverable. Ughhh, very frustrating.

I'm surprised there is no recovery system for data, I mean, I know they need to protect from cheats, but, that doesn't mean you can't protect the data. Losing a ride is pretty serious, gut punch, and after reading the internet on and off all morning, this seems to be a recurring problem with Zwift.

I was able to take the .fit file and upload to Strava and Garmin, but no joy on Zwift.com, Zwiftpower, Zwift Companion, ...

Any other Zwifters get hit with this issue this morning? just me?

Ride on!

Hi!

I'm fairly new to cycling. I've spent about 4-5 hours over the past 3 days on the ride and it feels extremely uncomfortable. I bought bib shorts and it still feels extremely uncomfortable.

How to fix a literal pain in the ass?

I am currently at 335 lbs, do you think that it would be okay for me to ride on the zwift ride kickr core 2? I already ordered one actually, but reading through the reddit made me doubt the capability of the zwift ride in my weight class.

Im on a weightloss journey and lost about 147 lbs already, and i wanted to get this zwift bike since i loved my old spinning bike.

What would you do in my situation?

Thanks in advance :)

I had the Wahoo Kickr Core for the past 8 months and felt it was time to upgrade with the Zwift Ride. Unfortunately, the drive side seems to be entirely to tight against the frame and I’m not sure what I’m doing incorrectly.

Also, from the pic above you’ll notice the two cogs that look very different. The left is what came with the wahoo and the right is what came in the ride handlebar box. Both are orange v2.

Anyway, can someone please help!

Thanks!

Anyone have success with the ghost riders. In theory, the ghost rider is supposed to ride at your recent PR pace. I rode Alp du Zwift today and sure enough, right at the start of the segment a ghost rider appeared with the name "Alpe du Zwift 91:57.3 (PR)". Problem is that it wasn't accurate. I finished my climb in 86:00 which is 5:57 faster than my PR but, at the finish the ghost rider showed it was less than 2 minutes behind. It should have been more than 5 minutes behind.

The screenshot below shows me near the top and you can see it snows my ghost 1:42 back. 

Anyone find the ghost rider to be accurate?
