It’s the beginning of September and back to school for students and academics of all ages. It’s also the season for Zwift Academy Road.
I struggled last year but I made it–see here and here. And I’ve signed up again to get in racing shape for Zwift. I started out with the Baseline Ride and I’ll start the workouts this week.
I didn’t Zwift much during the summer. The biggest issue was the hot steamy weather and our lack of air conditioning. But I also started to have issues with our Wahoo Kickr trainer and calibration. In the end, I just put Zwifting aside and enjoyed a lot of outdoor riding, mostly gravel trails but some road riding too.
Truth be told though I missed it. I’ve bought a new trainer to start the Zwifting season–a Tacx Neo 2T. I’m hoping the wheel off trainer is more accurate and less fussy. It’s also supposed to be quieter. I’ll report back on both the new trainer and on Zwift Academy.
Wish me luck!
Good choice. The NEO 2T is a a super solid trainer! Once you go direct-drive, you never want to go back to a wheel-on trainer.
