The pace partners are great! In the D category there is a need for three pace partners DD1 @ 1.5 w/kg, DD2 @ 1.8 w/kg and DD3 @ 2.1 w/kg
I stuck with DD for three laps and had a great ride, it is so good to not have a ride leader that just keeps speeding up - EVO are you reading this? And yes I’m over 120 kg so going up hill is a problem when ride leaders blast up and then get faster down the other side so you don’t have a chance to catch up.
A key success is the way that people clumped around DD and this made for a great blob and the opportunity to get a respite in the middle of the blob.
Now all I need is DD2 @ 1.8 w/kg and I’ll be set for a much better Zwift experience.
