Gwen on a bicycle makes me happy 😀 nostalgia lol... I have used zwift since beta but watched this anyway because it is awesome to see a pro give something back by taking a little time to do a how to for the fans. Can't wait to see Stanley on the profile list! 🤩
Bought a smart trainer 2 months ago, subbed to zwift. And i must say i enjoy riding more indoor than i do outside. Just click in and go, while outside chances on flats etc worries me before starting.
@@rubysitzler6946 There is no need for you to buy a high end smart trainer. If you're really short on budget you could opt for a wheel on trainer. I bought the low tier direct drive trainer "taxc flux smart" also bought a ant dongle and training mat + cassette total cost arround 600-650 euro. If you dont have a bike the total picture will cost alot more ofc.
@@Allnuts-H do the cheaper wheel on trainers have swift capabilities?? I am considering this as indoor seems so much easier + safer, but am hesitant in case it can't syn c up
the only issue i find is when you're at the start line and pushing 300+ watts (15:26), zwift and the avatar do not show that speed which can be mentally discouraging especially for me. They need to find a way to replicate that kind of power/speed into the game. You can see the avatar goes off very slow
Ricardo Galiano so to bridge across is like saying you close the gap. So if there is a group in front you want to be with you bridge across or close the gap
So... I have a dumb question... I have a suuuuper basic dumb trainer, and was told that you shouldn’t come out of the saddle on trainer rides because it can bend parts of the back wheel that’s attached to the trainer (since trainers weren’t meant for the bike to rock back and forth). The two times I’ve tried coming out of the saddle, it feels very odd to pedal as well. There are some times during your ride where you come off the saddle and everything seems fine...is it the type of trainer that you have that allows you to do this? 🤷♀️
Gwen is using a 'wheel off' trainer so there's no wheel at the back to stress, or bend. For your trainer I would be cautious but I wouldn't not come out of the saddle just because someone said so. Regardless of what trainer you have, sprinting is strange compared with sprinting on a real road, even the rock 'n roll types are not great.
non smart-trainers do not provide very much resistance to compensate for standing-up and sprinting. You end up feeling as if your stroke just falls though to the bottom. So I would always remain seated or stand very little. As for rocking, using a steel skewer with steel cones helps get that connection as tight as possible. When I upgraded to my wheel-off smart trainer standing up and sprinting was much more realistic, now I can try to pull my handlebars off as I go.
@@markshouse705 Yes but you would use the gears on your bike to make more residence and therefore make it more realistic. A smart trainer is definitely better here, but you can still have fun on a dumb one

I’ve learnt more about Zwift from your video than I ever knew before. Will have to give it another go - Thanks Gwen!
thanks for doing this! new to "Zwifting" as of today and this TOTALLY helped.
I like to see that Gwen is doing a lot of cycling. Bring back the Triathlon! Forget the Marathon, go dominate the Half or Full IronMan!
I know I'm pretty randomly asking but does anyone know of a good website to watch new series online?
@Benton Sullivan Flixportal
@Henry Darian Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I appreciate it!!
@Benton Sullivan no problem :D
Thanks for sharing this ride and exploring zwift. Heard a lot about it but never saw a race🤙

how much did it all cost you, if you don't mind me asking? seems like an extravagant hobby when accounting for kickr etc.

@@rubysitzler6946 Not sure, i think aslong you have a power meter you can connect to zwift. Before you buy a model do some research ;)
Great! Great instruction!
Wait I stopped by hoping to see a running tip or workout and instead I get Zwift?! Thanks and will have to try indoor cycling/smart trainer stuff now!
r0bv123 great cross training tool
@@GwenJorgensen Thanks Gwen! Didn't realize Zwift does both and will use this for cross training!
I love Zwift!
Okay, I already have the bluetooh device. Now, I just need everything else
I paid $175 for my wahoo kickr from offerup. Best deal evaaaaaa

You should update your kickr, it will give you cadence.
Mark Winfield how do you update it?
@@GwenJorgensen Install the wahoo app on your device and connect to the kicker. It will automatically update the firmware.
Awesome video!!!
What does it mean to 'bridge across'? Is that literal or cyclist lingo? Sorry, runner here 🙋♂️🏃♂️🤣
Cheers!
Ricardo Galiano so to bridge across is like saying you close the gap. So if there is a group in front you want to be with you bridge across or close the gap
@@GwenJorgensen Thank you for the explanation and for taking the time! 🙏
Looks fun! How often do you ride versus run?
Ai Mee run it varies widely but right now prob about 2x a week for both ride and run
Oops, meant to write you are definitely NOT b-group. Your Watts/kg is definitely A range!
So... I have a dumb question...

Hey Gwen. What iPad are u using to allow multiple accounts at login? Please and thanks.
Kurt Perham I usually use the computer on the TV but can also do on an iPad but sure which version mine is though. Sorry
What are you saving all of those drops for?
BRENDAN CLEMMENS hahahaha
BRENDAN CLEMMENS you tell me
Hey Gwen, would you have a problem if I follow you on Zwift?
Brandon Loge not at all
Gwen Jorgensen
Thanks
Can you use it with a spinning bike?
Amanda Pinch if it had ant
Potentially, as Gwen says if it has ANT+ or maybe bluetooth, but probably not :-(
It would be pretty sweet if you returned to Triathlon!
Imagine the epic Gwen/Lucy/Daniela battles?!
No HR = Auto DQ. -U10
Looking at your w/kg you must be like 50kg 😁
Rob Lovely heavier but why does that matter?
@@GwenJorgensen 255w and it says w/kg is 4.7w (255w / 55kg = 4.636w) so you must be 55k ish?
zwift is a scam i buy a runn module and did not work it cost me 140 pounds
Tommy Elliott it needs ant did it not have ant?
Sandbagger...
dylan jones hahaha
