      I've been on Zwift since 2015 and still haven't done most of the long routes, let alone 30 days in a row. No plans to either. 🤣

    MAVEN! Good to see you mate! (btw - The older Kickrs were vampires. They didn't like direct sunlight)

    • @technovelodos
      @technovelodos ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Was going to post the same thing - you need a little sunshade for the trainer. I forgot about this until a week ago, when the sun was the just the right spot in the sky again and bang -power went crazy. Took me 5 min to remember it was the sun shining in the window.

    Can honestly say this is a mega achievement. The Uber pretzel is so tough. The climbing in all the courses is hard but the mental challenge is next level. Fair play, absolute legend

    Cracking Video Mark, not only the riding itself looked tough but the editing was gold standard as usual & 10/10 for Hanna to allow you not only to be able to complete the Challange but also allowing you to walk about with the Hugh Hefner dressing gown on camera 😂 love it champ & see you at sandown “you legend”

    Great performance maven. Myself I'm a hobby zwifter for a year now and I even didn't found the courage to ride the last 6 routes you did in a week for over a year. So: great job. And also a big hug to your family. Like you say, without them it's nearly an impossible job. Well done as well Hannah.

Heck I remember when you and Hannah announced the first pregnancy...time flies. Great seeing this, glad you are well, and yes... Hannah is an absolute legend for this. I watch my wife take care of our 14 month old while Im gone on work, its not easy. You said it right, selfish challenge... but stoked you completed it! Ride on mave!
