Features

Last week the pace partners routes changed and there is now a schedule for each week. The Pace Partners change routes every Monday or Sunday depending on where you live. They will rotate between 3 different routes for each bot. The pace partners have been on the same route for several months with occasional accidental switches so this is a very welcome change for most who like a variety of different routes. This week, the most popular pacer bot Coco Cadence should be on Sand and Sequoias, the route that Bowie Brevet previously was on. The pace partners have many abilities in the world of Zwift including PR bots which has over 600 votes in the Zwift Forums feature requests.

Me

Of course, you always need the Me section. This week I spend a lot of time processing the standings, re writing them into a better format, I did get 3rd place in a B category race, although there were only 7 riders there I still got top 3. I also did a sub 10 minute desert segment challenge, I accomplished this first try averaging 5.1 wpk, it was absolutely brutal and I got the time of 9:51 solo on a TT bike. What are your fastest times in the desert segment? Comment below!
