zwift

Any other clydes try Zwift yet? I just wanted to give it a plug and say that I love it! It has alleviated my time crunch problems by being able to do it at home. If you've used it what's your experience?

I used it last winter when I did not get outside. I liked it, it is a good workout.

I use it as I am currently very strapped for time, but for all its "gamification" goodness, I find it a bit boring.

I also use Tacx videos with my Tacx Ironman, and will do some SufferFest when I can find the time.

I just signed up for it again today. It's a good way to help alleviate some of the boredom.

It gives something to distract from the tedium if you don't have another way to be motivated.

I have the hardest time not leaning into corners...

jmX's thread here while he was creating what would become the Zwift software is an interesting view into it:

I love it, I was a beta tester and used it off and on, but never really got into it. It is now my plan to start riding it everyday so I have no excuse to not workout. I got a permanent set up now and my nice bike hooked up to a kicker, so I have no excuse. It makes indoor riding fun.

I have ordered a Cycleops Magnus but won't get it for 3 weeks or so. I will have to use my iphone as my viewer unless I can find a cheap tv I can hook it up to. Need to order bluetooth sensors to replace my Garmin sensors.
