Pacer Bot routes

Can we please please please get the Pacers to change routes more often?

I really enjoy riding with them. But there are only so many times I can do laps of Volcano Route, The Big Ring, Tempus Fugit or Watopia’s Wasteband. Same goes for the routes in the other worlds

There are a ton of different and new routes in Zwift lately but the bots never change.

Let’s get some variety!

Same with Sugar Cookie and the blast at 5.5w/kg up the start of epic KOM and the bridge.

A lot of the group ends up being spat out the back by 5 seconds or even more then they have to teleport back. Some riders just don’t even bother to chase, they slow down and wait until the robopacer gets over the bridge and then they teleport back again. Constance goes at 4.6w/kg and seems to get a big draft benefit over that bridge.

That shows the fault in the excessive increase in robopacer power on longer uphill sections in comparison with the “Col du Tempus”.

I think you’ll have a riot if you suggest taking away Tempus Fugit. :wink: People want their 120km in 3 hours with 2.5w/kg like in the old days.

Tempus is great if you want to “switch off” and just churn steadily along and not worry about pace / gradient changes. I usually ride with Jacques but riding with Coco on a flat route, sitting up and catching up with text and email messages etc is very time-efficient.

But some variety would be good too.
