So now I just realised I've been wasting all my time going up hills because I didn't realise I had to select the challenge first.

I joined Zwift on 1/2/23, and just got my Tron bike today. This month alone I did The Alp 19x and VonTop 5x as well as other miscellaneous rides over the past 56 days. Yeah it’s a lot of work, just need to stay on top of it.

I started on Dec 22nd 2023 not knowing anything. But now 9700 miles to go . Road to sky is my go to ride and now Ven-top . Should take me 3 more days which is 48 days
@tonylambert43643 роки тому
Don't forget if France is not available you can create a meetup and still ride the course.
@samuraioodon3 роки тому
Anyone can create meetup? I don't have France as option. Do I need someone to invite me?
@tonylambert43643 роки тому
@@samuraioodon Anyone can create a meetup, you will need to invite at least one other rider but they dont need to turn up for the ride for you to complete the course.

Dec 22 2023 I started not knowing any of this except seeing a top pro triathlete always ride a Tron bike which didnt understand why . Didnt know about the courses nothing. Im sharing this because at age 66 and a triathlete . My swimming has been the weakest of my 3. Well cycling now on Zwift , the cycling is my strongest behind running . Started as a runner in 1984 . Got 3 days max to go which means 48 days to get the Tron .

I finally selected that challenge last week so I could start working towards that tron bike. I think I've been on Zwift for about 5-6 years so I guess it's about time. 🤦🏻♂️
@leslietennant13 роки тому
Ditto all of that! :-) 40% there now
@mikeadams45913 роки тому
I'm currently at 13087m, just over 25% there. Luckily I set this challenge from day one :)

Keep climbing 💪

@chrismccarter68753 роки тому
Hi Eric, there is a bowl technique (mentioned in zwift insider, but he used the wrong bowl) that I can get
@chrismccarter68753 роки тому
The longer you ride the bowl, the lower this number becomes, as the climb to the bowl itself is not hugely efficient in kJ/m
@chrismccarter68753 роки тому
The road is 10% on each side of the bowl, and momentum carries you up each side like a half pipe. Essentially you turn around once you finish decelerating. Rinse and repeat. I found this technique after 48000m! You could realistically get the Tron in a matter of weeks doing this
@abfutrell2 роки тому
I spotted this bowl technique as well. Someone else posted a video of the bowl technique near the bottom. I tested it, but I noticed the sharp V-notch further up on the Epic KOM profile, so I did some Recon. I would go 15 Meters up each side of the bowl and U-Turn. My numbers agree with yours.
@hanlittle28653 роки тому
thank you this was v. useful
@hinni19973 роки тому
Nice analytical view on why Ven Top is better, thanks for the great content! :)
@EricAbbottTri3 роки тому
Thanks
@ImGlossy63Рік тому
Yeah all good stuff. Only bad thing is VonTop is just as brining as hell. AdZ has all the sectors and time just goes by quicker. I got my Tron in 50 days, doing AdZ 22x and VT 5x plus other miscellaneous rides in Zwift. Wasn’t easy slogging up hills for almost 2 months but the reward is well worth it.

@scotth33543 роки тому
Better still, climb the Epic KOM, then do repeats up the Radio Tower climb.
@mattiapalombi15973 роки тому
Yep
@B.r.o.t.h.e.r.22 роки тому
That is the way I did it, because you also get the ramp up at the down hill and get free meters of elevation. And doing the u-turn and climbing again you have the same

Should of watched this a couple months ago when I vEverested without having selected the Eversting Challenge first. After crawling off my bike and within an hour realized my mistake - I nearly freaked out...

I joined the Everest challenge on day one exactly one year ago. I am at 2700 miles and 140,000 ft of climb. Now that it is cold in Iowa I will be riding indoors and will be using your tips to get me to the top a little faster. My goal is to have the Tron bike by Christmas! Thanks.

@isakholmgard96063 роки тому
It's a bit boring but the radio tower climb is even more effective, but it's short
@EricAbbottTri3 роки тому
Ya but you need to do the epic KOM to get to the radio tower so that makes it difficult. But if you get up there I hear you can game the system by going back and forth in the bowl and the bottom of the radio tower
