I started a pace partner ride tonight and it was all over the place… i was off the front slowed down then off the back then couldn’t catch up despite riding a steady place. I want to start my winter training. It worked ok last year. My PC is powerful and broadband is good so dont go there. I am abso…

[image] W: It was tested over a period of months during the summer with lots of feedback from users. When a majority of the northern hemisphere was riding outside instead of on Zwift. :smiley: There were requests for less uphill power increase and more downhill power decrease well before sum…

[image] Sven: Everyone else can keep the 17 other dynamic bots. :rofl: Actually yes put a 2.5, 2.9, 3.3 and 3.8 bot on Tempus Fugit all year round with steady state power and I think those will be popular. Coco group today on Watopia when I joined had 16 people only… 16! Last week same time …

Chris: Coco group today on Watopia when I joined had 16 people only… 16! Last week same time more than 150. As soon as the hilly routes come along, everyone vanishes - they switch over to the bot that rides the flattest route with closest power to what they are used to. I think @James_Zwift …

[image] Sven: When a majority of the northern hemisphere was riding outside instead of on Zwift. :smiley: There were approximately 15-20k riders daily riding with the Pace Partners at that time.

Chris: As soon as the hilly routes come along, everyone vanishes Yes people don’t like climbing. they just want flat and fast. :crazy_face: :upside_down_face:

[image] James: There were approximately 15-20k riders daily riding with the Pace Partners at that time. Plus they were the people who did not pause their subscriptions during the summer, i.e. the most dedicated Zwift enthusiasts. :slight_smile: :laughing: :rofl: :smiley:

Having several PP on Tempest has some good qualities but then we have the issue of the mess that occurs when two large groups overlap (possibly 3 or4). You could make the other groups invisible but many people used to warm up with coco then jump in with the Brevit group as they came by. I have not…

[image] Joined B grade bot just before the climb out of the desert. “Easy” 3.5-3.7 w/kg on the flats and had to go 4.5 w/kg to keep from keeping dropped on the climb. As soon as we hit the top of the rise, I dropped the bot as they backed off at the crest. Wtf is this? :joy:

That’s the new dynamic PP. They speed up the climb. :anguished:

Absolutely dreadful. It defends my previously stated position that this idea was implemented by someone that has never raced or trained with a coach and/or power meter. Total Jabroni style.
