Hi Ann, thanks for this opportunity to connect with our miles-starved band of cure -chasing peddle pushers. On November 12, last year, I went on-line with Zwift. Who knew? With a few exceptions, Zwift mimics my real life biking experience. I connected with a smart trainer, not really knowing what to expected. It took only a few rides before I was hooked. Its not like riding a trainer, it's like biking Disney Land. There is groups, races, hills, bike clubs, Tour Challenges, all kinds of awards, badges, kits, drafting, organized rides 24/7, 10,000 to 20,000 riders on line, so many choices and opportunities.
On November 12, last year, I began bicycle bootcamp, riding everyday. I rode on Zwift 55 out of 61 days for a total of 1261 miles. I was not bored for one second. In fact, it is bicycling ecstacy. I have continued to Zwift, piling up 4400+ miles so far. I miss my Cure Chaser family. So my outside challenge is to conquer Cemetery and Rob Hill and still be connected to our group when we crest. I'm on a break now but more than satisfied riding Zwift until we can get back together.
