  • I raced the Col du Galibier Climb Portal the same day the Tour de France featured this climb on Stage 4. Will I get better time than at least part of the pro peloton?
    My name is Adam, I am 35 years old and I am a former marathon runner who shifted his focus on ZWIFT CYCLING.
    Road to A is a channel focused on INDOOR ZWIFT RACING with the ultimate goal of reaching the A+ CATEGORY. Is it progression realistic? Maybe. I'll need to train a lot and lose a lot of weight, too. However, I believe the BIGGEST LIMITATIONS riders (and athletes in general) have are those they put on themselves and this channel is my way to prove that idea. If you feel like you are riding (or living) BENEATH YOUR POTENTIAL, you need to tag along! The destination is clear but the journey won't be easy.
    Currently I am racing in B CATEGORY.

    As for my ZWIFT SETUP - I am riding on a ZWIFT HUB ONE indoor trainer. Steering can give you pretty substantial advantage during the racing and for that I am using the ZWIFT PLAY controllers. I use these for virtual shifting as well and to make sure I'll be covered if they run out of battery or generally stopped working, I've got the ZWIFT CLICK as well. I am running my Zwift in 4K and using the ULTRA settings.

    there is a great route on rouvy that you might enjoy. starts in Saint michel de maurienne and climbs the col du telegraphe before continuing on to the Galibier.
    Route is just over 35km with a little over 2000m climbing
    Gradient for most of the route is around 5% but with a 15% + kick near the end. There is a very welcome recovery descent approx 12km in for 5km - then the galibier climb begins.

      @@bikeanddogtripsvirtualcycling that sounds great! Though at this time, I've got a trainer with virtual shifting so for the time being, I'm locked to Zwift.

    I was proud of myself with 37 minutes! I was going super hard! It always blows my mind what the pros can do. Nice job to you too, sir!

      It really is! Ideally you would do it well rested though!
