The temperature got down to 60 around the time I usually leave on my ride. Since I am new to Zwift and learning the in&#8217;s and out&#8217;s I messed around before actually starting. I wanted to stream my ride on YouTube.com which meant starting the Open Broadcasting Software (OBS) program and figuring out how to set it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first I wanted to include a webcam window along with the Zwift window but that got complicated so I left that out for today but maybe the next time now that I have reacquainted myself with all of the parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am using the free trial of Zwift to stretch out my experience before putting money on the table and subscribing at $14.99 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I joined the first ride in progress because setting up OBS and getting everything running. After I started the ride I forgot to get a water bottle so I stopped in the middle to get it. I walked out of range of my phone with the Zwift app connecting my heart rate monitor. I went through the steps to get that connected again and by then the Wahoo Kickr and cadence sensor stopped too. Next time, remember the water bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video of Zwift ride #1 today. I rode 11.98 miles but I wanted to ride at least 20 so I did ride #2 after ending the first one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zwift Ride 1st Route 10\/11\/2019\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g0eZ71kWQyw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/10-11-2019-SportTracks-Zwift-Virtual-Bike-Ride-First.png?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"633\" data-attachment-id=\"51166\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2019\/10\/11\/zwifting-after-the-cold-arrived-bike-rides\/10-11-2019-sporttracks-zwift-virtual-bike-ride-first\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/10-11-2019-SportTracks-Zwift-Virtual-Bike-Ride-First.png?fit=1910%2C1007&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1910,1007\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"10-11-2019-SportTracks-Zwift-Virtual-Bike-Ride-First\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/10-11-2019-SportTracks-Zwift-Virtual-Bike-Ride-First.png?fit=600%2C316&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/10-11-2019-SportTracks-Zwift-Virtual-Bike-Ride-First.png?fit=800%2C422&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/10-11-2019-SportTracks-Zwift-Virtual-Bike-Ride-First.png?resize=1200%2C633&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-51166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/10-11-2019-SportTracks-Zwift-Virtual-Bike-Ride-First.png?w=1910&amp;ssl=1 1910w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/10-11-2019-SportTracks-Zwift-Virtual-Bike-Ride-First.png?resize=640%2C337&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/10-11-2019-SportTracks-Zwift-Virtual-Bike-Ride-First.png?resize=600%2C316&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/10-11-2019-SportTracks-Zwift-Virtual-Bike-Ride-First.png?resize=800%2C422&amp;ssl=1 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second ride followed the Richmond 2015 UCI World&#8217;s course which I happened to be there and watched.
