Was just experimenting with the pace partner bots. Seem to work ok. I might suggest that the algorithm changes a bit to even say add 10-20% or thereabouts to w/kg on uphills -- might be a bit more natural.
Are beacons in group rides calculated by the posted ride w/kg limit, or are they based on where the leader is? IOW, can a Zwift leader pass his own ride's beacon?
