    This week seems to be a week of firsts. Our picks include a new Zwifter who quits his first race, an avid Zwifter making a rookie mistake, another new Zwifter tackling a Zwift race, a rider pondering bike choice in a mixed-terrain time trial, and a Zwifter roasting another’s race.

    First Time Trying Zwift… it was a mistake…

    Lucas Plays on Youtube tries Zwift for the very first time. He begins with a warm-up around the volcano before joining his first race, where he is caught off guard by how quick the category C riders are.

    In the first week of the Zwift TT Club series, Gerben from RidewithGerben races one lap of the Mech Isle Loop course. However, as he looks back on the race, he wonders whether it would have been a better choice to race on a gravel bike rather than a TT bike.

      The first goal I set in Zwift was to get up the Alpe in under 60 minutes. It took me a few months but I did it and in the year since my time has been getting better and better. When my summit time went under 55 minutes, I started to think about this possibility: Can I get up Alpe du Zwift in fewer minutes than I am old?
