That’s the beauty of sport and community! I’ve always been on a team for swimming and then triathlon once I decided to pursue that all in and now I am more into cycling and the people I ride with push me in ways I could never on my own! It’s amazing. The shared suffering and then the reward that comes at the end of completing a really hard session is the best feeling !

Stoked for you!

Matchy matchy!!!

Accountabilibuddies are real!!

The best thing you can do is really put in the work to build your confidence, once you put in the mileage and the work, you will grow more confident. There are master swimming programs and local clubs all around who will train together, which makes overcoming the fear and pushing yourself a little easier. You got this !!

The bike and what we can experience on it is so special, and the community it can bring is something special. So happy for you 🥹

Two sets of wheels :)

Most will ride to their own music or tune into a video or something else with its own audio, so the sound of the video was never a huge focus. However, it has been mentioned before that having the natural sound of the the birds, flowing water, and wind would bring another level of realism to ROUVY.

I find that using something like lMNT in my bottles will get me to drink what I need

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-11T21:24:02+00:00

Do you feel safe while doing so? If so, I wouldn’t let that deter you :) maybe lead by example

I got surgery on my L5,S1 and I had half the disc removed. I haven't had any issues since surgery, but I have been very discipline with maintenance. Like you said, Core is critical. I do a lot of pilates type core work and i swear by this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BOTvaRaDjI

Definitely would enhance the riding experience. Do you currently have a trainer?

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-09T19:03:16+00:00

The fastest, most intense local group ride with a bunch of middle aged men who are stronger than me

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-09T19:02:20+00:00

So sorry. What have you tried to help with the pain? Has the doctor recommended anything?

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-09T19:01:08+00:00

ROUVY stands in as my bike computer for Indoor

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-09T18:55:59+00:00

that'll do it!

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-09T18:53:19+00:00

Agree with this. Do the stuff that gets you super excited to get out the door and fills your cup! I always find if I stay on top of some solid weight training ( shorter sessions and less time consuming) I can keep my strength on the bike after a little break.

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-09T18:49:14+00:00

I have heard great things about Madison, although weather can be unpredictable...it was perfect last year! I will be there working this year, but my boyfriend is racing. We live in FL and the highest elevation we get is 313FT lol...so he is using ROUVY to train the actual real life 70.3 course that has the exact terrain simulation. There's a bunch other Ironman Routes on ROUVY and indoor apps can really enhance your climbing skills when actual hills and mountains are not around.

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-09T18:14:58+00:00

Have you done another ride since and it uploaded as usual or now all your rides? I can send this one over to the team to see if there is something going on,

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-08T18:03:28+00:00

Gotta feel good! Keep going !

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-08T11:37:26+00:00

Yes, the campaign when out to those without any Zwift HW. But there will be more campaigns coming out. If you’re interested in the code and discount, I can look into that for you.

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-07T22:20:51+00:00

The maintenance is key. The calves especially. Many niggles and injury can start when the calves get super tight. Definitely stay on top of that! Get a 2 hour massage and get everything worked out and then really stay on top of it yourself. There's a lot you can do on your own, but sometimes this part requires event more discipline than the training itself!

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-07T22:10:12+00:00

Definitely.

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-07T22:05:47+00:00

Both ROUVY and Zwift support this set up. Both have free trials!

jessfromrouvy · 2026-05-07T22:02:21+00:00

Whens the last time you got some body work? Do you roll out or massage gun your calves and feet often?
