I'm back again - come along for the journey! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/cKGCqo2dj7Bn0Gw.html

Seeing someone struggle hard to get up the Alpe, yet, never quit while doing it is actually very inspirational. I hope you are still riding and still improving. Keep it up

I was a level 6 & just finished it last night. Took me forever :( I finished at 3:09:39. Took me forever. I felt like quitting cause I was extremely discouraged cause of how low my speed was (especially when a jogger passed me 😂) but I’m glad I never quit. Was definitely one of the toughest rides I’ve ever done.

I've watched a ridiculous amount of cycling related videos on UKposts at this stage and this was genuinely one of the most inspirational. Brilliant mate.

That was one of the most inspirational video I’ve seen. Mind over matter. You, Sir, are a badass! Keep up the great work!

It does not matter if you said it was a slow time. The fact that you completed it is amazing! Next target is just to beat your time. Keep it up!

Awesome effort! Keep up the good work!

Incredible effort. Well done pal, so happy you pushed to the top 🙌🏻

Well done fella, great to see you battle through it. That climb is such a mental battle battle as well as physical. When I get to marker 5 my body is screaming to stop but I've gone too far to just walk away.

This looks scary! Kudos on going all the way up man!

Probably one of the most honest videos I’ve seen on UKposts. Being a skinny fell, I thought everyone just breezed their way up the Alp. To see the huge huge effort you put into that ride should inspire anyone. I take my hat off to you👏👏👏

Such a cracking effort mate, super impressed that you didn’t give up 👍

Amazing video, so inspirational for a lot of us normal people that ride =-) Well done for the achievement fully deserved mate.

The best climb I've seen in Alpe! Congratulations Matt!!! 💪🏼💪🏼

Nice one, you've inspired me to have a go. Amazing how quiet the roads are pre covid!

I just did this today, as I purchased my first smart trainer earlier this week. I love your vid - chapeau for making it up! It was tough!

good effort mate. Great strength, mentally and physically!!

Massive ride. Hugely motivating. Well done!

Inspirational effort - that looked tough. Well done Matt.

Great work no matter what the time was, you made it up and never gave up. It is a brutal hill so congratulations 👏

Well done...very inspiring to see someone struggle and not quit.

Well done! Keep training!!! Congratulations!

Strong work buddy. Way to go!!

Well done mate, really inspiring seeing you not giving up

Well done for completing it... never give in 👍🏻

Absolutely love to see it 👏

Brilliant effort. Keep up the work.

Absolutely brilliant.

Well done Matt - it’s a great ride

Impressive well done, you showed true grit and determination and got the job done

You my friend are the definition of 'don't give up'. Well done buddy. Huge respect to you. Keep it up.

Good job mate, never give up💪

Great to have a video that isn’t someone bossing it in under an hour. Top work

Amazing effort, well done!

Great work 👍🏻 can’t wait to give this climb a go!

Well done! The key to get fit is consistency. Keep on going !

Good on ya mate. Keep it up and you'll maintain your health for years to come! And thoroughly agree re: details of the course. It's very picturesque and makes the trek more pleasant

Great job mate, you have defeated the damn hill. Keep up the good work, and dont worry about the climb time, Its all about the passion

Any day you achieve what you planned to do, s a good day. Kudos!

Thanks for that video... you’re an inspiration :) and thanks for the awesome riding tracks!!

Well done been putting off doing the alpe but you have inspired me to give it a go now.

You have inspired me to try the Alp. Thanks, good job!

That was an absolutely heroic effort! Was willing you along the whole way. Good job! Could see how much it hurt but you kept grinding, a lot of respect for that!

Zwift have made this route 3 on the 2021 tour. I came for a quick look to see how bad it is as I though I couldn’t do it. You have now motivated me 100% with your determination. 10/10.

Good job, dude!

Thanks for this upload, you inspired me to ride Alpe du Zwift, this evening. I don’t see many videos from you these days, hope your still zwifting

Great effort Matt. 👍respect! This was more than 2 years ago. I hope you're still going strong 🤙 Inspiring video. I follow you're example, aiming for category C!

What a great climb bud, congrats!

U are a legend. I loved this. Such a down to earth lad as well. Fair play to u. Subbed mate.

Very inspirational!❤

Awesome you did great ! love the vid thanks for sharing

Just saw this.....legend. looking forward to c how far u have come

Well done mate! It sure is a tough climb and it plays with your mind and body. You took it like a champ and I hope you keep setting these personal goals... mind over matter señor.

Great effort man! 👍🏼 Keep it up

Yeah man, you are awesome! Keep it up.

Great video Sir. Keep at it!

Hey man, this is a though one and you made it to the end. Good job!

Well done buddy.. great achievement and cool vid 👍🏻

mad respect for gutting that out man! well done!

wow!!! much respect for not giving up and a sub-160min-ride!!

I did this yesterday for the first time and similar to you took it steady and got there in the end.

Great. Keep riding! 👍🏻

Super friggin effort! I'd love to hear how you are doing two years on. Hope well!

Well done mate!

Awesome job mate! Was really happy to see you push to the top! Thought you might once you got to 3 checkpoints to go.

Keep going 👍🏻 stick at it. Good effort 👍🏻. I will be attempting the four horsemen soon. I’m dreading it!

That was an incredible effort, well done. This has been the best Zwift video I have seen on here because it isn't posted by some semi-pro smashing out 400+ watts for the 1 hour necessary to tackle this monster. I have just started on Zwift and am on the larger side too, as well as being 54 which doesn't help. I aim to try this climb once I have some fitness back. Wish me luck. Once again, well done.

Dude you crushed it!!!

This is awesome well done. No easy job this. Well done.

You should be proud of yourself, that was a great effort 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent!!

Well done, like many have said, great honest video. I love climbing hills, only been cycling 10 years, but every year I stop for Winter in UK, so have Oct - at least March off. I always put on a stone guaranteed because of my bad food choices. Every year I feel the pain trying to climb hills and get back in condition especially as I have asthma and putting a stone on, makes it worse, but I love it and as you said, when you get to the top, it's a huge achievement. I keep persisting with hills and soon get back on it and my asthma gets better. I only starting Zwifting 1 month ago, but love it, especially Ape du Zwift and the other climbs. I'm hoping to break my winter cycle now I have Zwift, so hopefully no more weight gains. Good work and keep it up.

congrats - you have done it!

That's dedication mate 👍👍👍

Well done on a heroic effort.

Good job mate💪

great effort! I will hit this climb soon.

Good job it’s a tough one!

great job mate!

what an effort mate well done its a bloddy tough one

Welldone mate 👍👍 keep riding and pushing!!! Credit to you many people couldn't ride up that

Well done. Keep riding, you will be there in no time ;)

That is a huge effort man! Really well done!! You should be chuffed 👍🏻👍🏻

Well done, Matt! :D It's a hard climb on smart trainer and in real life. You did well :)

Great job mate! Pretty cool video and first attempt at the Alpe! I just did my first one today via Tour of Watopia - it's every inch the beast they say it is. Ouch!

I have no idea why this popped into my recommended but I’m stoked I watched. Start making Zwift videos again!

very honest effort. well done.

Good work homie... hard climb.. way to fight it out!

Great effort - well done

Way to go dude!

Well done, I’m pleased you kept going and made it, if it helps, I was working in Grenoble many years ago and took my bike for recreational riding when not working, a colleague joined me for a ride up the Alpe in reality, it took him 2 hours 30 minutes just to climb the Alpe, so you are not the slowest! Zwift does run about 10% faster than the Alpe in reality though.

Awesome effort. It's a much bigger achievement for you than most of those doing it sub 60, remember that!

Great job mate! Keep up the good work!

Well done fella, fantastic effort. Ride On.

wow, good job!

You've inspired me to try it today. I've gotten to check point 10 I think In my best go at it.

I did it yesterday. I'm only at level 8 so I entered a race. It took me 1:53 to get up there. 225 out of 299 place, which I was very satisfied with. For the D level riders it is a true test of mental toughness. Of the 299 who started, 74 DNF. I'm going to train for a month before I try it again and then I'll enter another race. The race was good because you're kind of all in it together.

Wow this was a great effort, I'm going to have to look through your channel now to see if you've revisited this recently. Well done 👍👍

Superb mate. What an effort . Being on the larger side you have def inspired me to give alpe a crack.

Well done on this effort
