That’s a shame i was hoping it would travel at near the speed of light
Yeah, I get that, but I possibly didn’t word the question quite the way it sounded in my head.
I have been on Zwift for almost 5 years, and have covered all the routes and timed segments in game a number of times, but I haven’t been on at all in the last 3 months due to having work done on the house and nowhere to set up.
Does that mean if personal bots were added to the game tomorrow, I would have zero personal bots available to me as all my PRs were set more than 90 days ago?
Or does it retain my last ride on the segment indefinitely so that I can use that?
Sorry … one more question too.
If you are doing multiple laps of a short course (Volcano for example) does the bot’s ride update if you beat the time on a lap or does it stay as it was at the start for every lap regardless of how you perform against it?
Yep, that’s right. Just like your personal bests only shopw in game for the last 90 days.
It updates in real time, so if you beat you best time one lap, the next lap it will show you the new time to beat.

But the bots, once set, don’t expire, right?
It’ll just be your best time within the 90 day period.
Oh. That’s disappointing. The usefulness of this feature just reduced somewhat.
(For example, I don’t often do Ven Top; but when I do I’d like to have my previous best to ride against.)

This is so cool
Except my sprint bot was a lifetime pr and she kicks my @@@ every time. lol
Hi @James_Zwift
On this topic of Bots and your involvement with Pace Partners, is there any chance of us Zwifters getting something like this:
Super Climb Vs Super Climber? Can We Break The Alpe D’Huez Record? - YouTube
Almost like your own personal Pace Partner.
If this has already been asked, please someone link me to that thread.
Thanks,
Chris.
Hi Chris,
Nothing planned currently, but I will be restarting the PP rides up the Alp at 49, 59, 69, 89 and 119 minute paces.

Whooop!!!
I’m a happy camper!
Thanks so much for building this feature! It’s exactly what I was hoping for!
one of the best updates, build up on it, riding against your own PRs, times, workouts is one of the most addictive things in cycling.
Like everybody … I always want more 
I’d love to be able to configure my personal bots. Something like:
ON/OFF - for all (yes I know we already have this)
ON/OFF - for Free Rides (record times and display when free riding)
ON/OFF - for Robo Pacers (record times and display when riding with Robo Pacers)
ON/OFF - for Group Rides (record times and display when riding in a group ride)
ON/OFF - for Races (record times and display when riding in a race)
ON/OFF - for Time Trials (record times and display when riding in a ITT)
ON/OFF - for Team Time Trials (record times and display when riding in a TTT)
etc.

The personal best bot is great, BUT (not sure if this has been mentioned before) I’d really like to request the following (with regards AdZ specifically):
Currently, the holo-reply is not the personal best bot; instead, it replays your previous effort. It would be good if EITHER it always replayed your PB, or it allowed you to toggle between previous effort / best effort.
If I hit a PB, then the next time I ride take it easy, I might want to attempt a PB on the next ride but the intervening tempo ride has wiped out the holo replay.
There are already settings for that, though the PB is only a 90 day PB.
