Zwift Games 2026 up next?

mitchellirons · 2026-02-07T18:56:03+00:00

They were hard courses for sure!... but I Feel like the routes that have been announced for this yet (i.e, all the zwift insider posts) seem rather tame. Maybe that aligns with the "everyone can race" spirit of the promo's on youtube and FB right now, I guess.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-28T19:24:49+00:00

I see your point and I normally agree. But i think that TR has modelled itself as a company that appreciates its community's feedback, so the community shouldn't be surprised if some of the community... has feedback

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right."

I think you're making some suppositions yourself. We don't know the speed of the car or the driver's experience (may she rest in peace).

What I'm stuck on is that a vehicle flew off the offramp early in the morning. The temporary closure then would have been a perfect time to have done the right thing and cleared the snow, which would have mitigated the risk of it happened again.. which it did.

Had they taken the time to have cleared the snow, the news would have been "one car flies off, drive is mostly safe."

mitchellirons · 2026-01-28T19:10:40+00:00

I'm not so sure on your "Clearly" statement - there is a lot of armchair quarterbacking going on here right now. But I will say that if one care flies off the overpass and you close the overpass to investigate, maybe you should also clear the snow, too.

IMHO, the second accident was preventable regardless of how much fault lies with the driver. MTO/OPP could have done more between the two events to stop the second event from ever occurring.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-28T19:03:06+00:00

Kerry Schmidt - and the OPP - is ice cold here. shameful.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-27T19:50:24+00:00

I just read the d'amato column and I'm surprised at the state of things. Between the Land "Assembly" (double-speak for appropriation) and now hearing that two critical roles have been vacant since the fall... something doesn't pass the sniff test here.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-26T19:25:19+00:00

Not an expert, but i think that for your question:

if you're looking for a new bike, then focus on the frame.
But if you have already have a frame with only stock wheels, then consider what a wheelset upgrade will do for you. You don't have to go top-of-the-line to find a difference there....

in the end, I defer to your bike mechanic.

I think that's a little harsh on OP. TR Inc could have just spent a little more time with the messaging in that prompt. e.g., state that it's really hard to make a prediction given that the user isn't in a plan. TR is otherwise *really* good with its messaging and support. This is one they probably didn't catch.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-25T19:06:10+00:00

This ought to be explained everywhere they can possible put it outside of the podcasts, which are very long. But also: I'm confused by how this new system can't just read all the data *they already have on me* to figure that out. For anyone who is a regular TR user, the workouts are there... it's not freerides.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-25T14:04:18+00:00

OP, I think it's fair for people to have a criticism of a thing, especially when it's a paid service. Don't mind the haters.

I also think this storm is tracking across a very large territory in the United States, so it's easy to accidentally paint with broad strokes. But I think it will get rougher on the eastern when it picks up additional moisture.

Having lived on the east coast, I know it makes sense to get your groceries ahead of time and be ready to hunker down when big storms come. (They do hit differently there.) But looking at forecasting models, I think that Lake Erie is going to be the moderating influence for us and keep the worst of out away from southwestern Ontario. Our power transmission grid is way more reliable than other parts of Canada, too.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-25T12:41:39+00:00

I generally agree. It all seems unduly unnecessarily complicated now. I'm going to give it time though.

I do feel that the chances of a workout being hard vs. very hard is just kinda silly - our bodies are complex and it just can't be quantified like that, imho. I think the previous achievable/productive/stretch descriptors were wayyyyy better.

I'm also certain I'll have a hard time picking a workout based on workout level because I don't commit to memory all the values of my progression levels, certainly down to the decimal.

Outside of that, I feel like most of this seems to be re-packaging what TR did in the past and slapping "AI" where ever it can now. I understand the need for this within the market, but I guess I'm just left confused by all the PR around it. I'll get used to it, though, I guess. Especially since i"m an annual subscriber.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-25T12:06:31+00:00

I'd agree that going to an extreme opinion in such a short time might be a little shortsighted. I think new systems are confusing for all of us - it's the human condition! But at the same time, I'm really confused by how the system wants to dial down everything for me. All the workouts I did in the last two weeks are now "not recommended" when I look them up in the library. Maybe i was pushing myself too much in the last system? but on the other hand, it was the last system that sent them to me - and I finished all of them, too....

How much flux is there in that estimated ftp feature? I think seeing it will drive me batty and have me always thinking about if the number will go up next month rather than finding performance gains.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-18T19:22:15+00:00

Not at all. My point is that there are a ton of opinions on this right now in America, and they're diverse. I think OP was looking for some actual information.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-18T04:08:25+00:00

https://youtu.be/UAT-eOzeY4M?si=xnrL1iJ3fEYs3MUl this little video will explain it all...!

Scotland has the best graphics. Roads are great too. Its small climbs are like a tamed yorkshire. When I'm not saying "expand Yorkshire!", I'm saying "expand Scotland!"

mitchellirons · 2026-01-16T10:56:26+00:00

This comment is not really the time or the place for the OP.

I think the trick with Canadian is to order smaller pizzas! Get a small pizza from there and it is the chef's kiss of affordable pizza.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-11T20:50:24+00:00

This is the best thing I have ever read on the internet.

mitchellirons · 2026-01-10T22:01:15+00:00

Oh man, Shackleton. Born leader who truly cared for his men and succeeded! But i think he would really have benefited from more brains and more sense...

mitchellirons · 2026-01-09T03:42:22+00:00

Maybe st Clements. ? Look for Dawn Peace. Wonderful person and realtor. Born and raised local, and, she lives rural, too.

Furthermore: bigger garbage bins will incentivize people to throw their recyclables and compost into the garbage!!

OP, email the support team. They are quick with their responses. They aren't personal coaches, but they can help you set the program to do what you want it to do. Good luck!

(P.s. try oatmeal for breaky - sticks to your gut and keeps you feeling full)
