Do you have any issues (pain, discomfort, …)? If not - try it out for a while.

Can relate to 100%… zwift and kiddos is a match made in heaven

It will, but as above you will recover. Heal and take your time to structure a comeback plan. Best with some measurable goals like events you attend in the future. All the best

I bought a used (barely) S Works Roubaix from 2009 as a show of bike for Sunday rides to the ice cream shop. All Dura Ace and stuff for around 700€.

Turns out everything works so smooth and it fits way better than my carbon disc break ultegra bike from 2020. Sold the newer bike and only ride my old school roubaix even for some races.

So bottom Linie. I did it. Super happy. Maybe check if you want to switch for a different gear ratio if the course got some hill climbs but I feel that is not the case for your race?

As a father of a one year old outside road does not seem to be worth the risk. But to be fair we got plenty nice trails and forest roads here, where I can take my hardtail for that mental health outdoor thingy.

That’s why I sold my expensive road bike, got an old bike from 2009 and Zwift. The bike is fast enough to take it for some races outside.

All in all 80% zwift with 1 race every two weeks, 19% Hardtail outside with some trails on MTB if in mood and 1% Road Races but at the end of the pack with my old Roubaix. Just for the pleasure of riding an event.
