Fat cyclist vs the Grade on Zwift - 1st ride on the new zwift climb

Join me on my first ride on the new Zwift climb, "The Grade", as a fat cyclist. See how I tackle this challenging route and push myself to the limit!

Great video Dave. I am doing this tomorrow morning not long after doing th London To Brighton ride at the weekend. My legs are still abit sore so hope to get them sorted on the ride. Good to see just how hard it is for us lager guys. Will let you know how I get on. Cheers Russ

Tried this earlier this week. But didn’t do the evaluation route so had no warm up. Big mistake…. Failed and got off. Thanks for the tip for the warm up ride first before the Grade.

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Thank you, yes highly recommend this route to get a little warm up 1st 😊

Smashing the sub just because of how you kept at it and finished the grade! Great effort! Was the FTP score accurate? How much w/kg is what?

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Thank you that’s kinds, mine was lower but wasn’t feeling great going to try again next week 😊

[@Twodaae]

@@LakeDistrictcyclist not feeling great and u still got on the bike and did a video? You're awesome mate... Keep it up! Maybe one day we could ride together! Haha

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Did part of this a Zwift event so know how you feel :-)

Great effort. Looking at your cadence maybe try adjusting to easier trainer difficulty. It doesn't change the effort you need to put in it just allows the legs to spin more efficiently :)

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Thank you never thought of doing that 😊

[@TheRick443]

Not poor at all! Think of all the people who havent even tried it! That time is YOUR mark to beat next time out.

[@LakeDistrictcyclist]

Thank you 😊
