Scanning the Zwift companion app I landed on the ZSUN Saturday Social Ride starting at 12:10 PM. This time the route followed the Watopia&#8217;s Waistband which was mostly flat with a few short climbs thrown in to challenge my flatland legs. The ride lasted 60 minutes and I managed to bike 14.03 miles. At the start I saw 401 people registered and it didn&#8217;t take too long for me to be near the back. Occasionally a rider or two passed me but most of the time I enjoyed the scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since my last Zwift event I got a new phone and the Zwift companion app wasn&#8217;t connecting to Zwift. Fortunately my desktop computer&#8217;s Bluetooth connection was strong and all of the sensors connected. I powered my phone off and restarted it then the companion app connected. I like to use it to see where I am in relation to the group and map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the ride I had time to tweak my bike, hair, helmet, shoes, and socks. Using the Wahoo Utility app on my phone I enabled ERG Power Smoothing to see if it had any impact on my power output. My power seemed to be a little higher but still lower than what I generate on the road as measured by my Favero Assiomo pedals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is my ride data summary from Golden Cheetah. 84% of the ride time I held power to zones 1 and 2. This is 2 times my typical road ride. I think I need to do a spin down on my Wahoo Snap smart trainer to validate the calibration. On the road my max power is usually 400+ watts but today it was 195 watts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-12-2020-Golden-Cheetah-Zwift-Bike-Ride-Summary-Data.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1034\" data-attachment-id=\"54868\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/12-12-2020-golden-cheetah-zwift-bike-ride-summary-data\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-12-2020-Golden-Cheetah-Zwift-Bike-Ride-Summary-Data.jpg?fit=1424%2C1227&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1424,1227\" 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=\"12-12-2020 Golden Cheetah Zwift Bike Ride Summary Data\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;12-12-2020 Golden Cheetah Zwift Bike Ride Summary Data&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-12-2020-Golden-Cheetah-Zwift-Bike-Ride-Summary-Data.jpg?fit=522%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-12-2020-Golden-Cheetah-Zwift-Bike-Ride-Summary-Data.jpg?fit=696%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-12-2020-Golden-Cheetah-Zwift-Bike-Ride-Summary-Data.jpg?resize=1200%2C1034&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"12-12-2020 Golden Cheetah Zwift Bike Ride Summary Data\" class=\"wp-image-54868\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-12-2020-Golden-Cheetah-Zwift-Bike-Ride-Summary-Data.jpg?w=1424&amp;ssl=1 1424w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-12-2020-Golden-Cheetah-Zwift-Bike-Ride-Summary-Data.jpg?resize=522%2C450&amp;ssl=1 522w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-12-2020-Golden-Cheetah-Zwift-Bike-Ride-Summary-Data.jpg?resize=696%2C600&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/12-12-2020-Golden-Cheetah-Zwift-Bike-Ride-Summary-Data.jpg?resize=557%2C480&amp;ssl=1 557w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>No personal records on today&#8217;s ride according to Strava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"405\" width=\"590\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/4463825047\/embed\/3e0cc4f7b09475b4bb4365c831e455397bf37839\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>The full ride video is below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zwift - ZSUN Saturday Social Ride on Watopia Waistband\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SyuwbnU90X8?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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cool temperatures hovering around my outside bike ride threshold caused me to chose Zwift for today&#8217;s bike ride.
