While doing a free ride on the Tair Dringfa Fechan route, a little over half way through, it appears to go into erg mode and shifters stopped working. This has happened the last 2 times I rode that route. The first time I rode the route it worked fine all the way through. I rode a different route a couple days ago and that was fine. I’ve been choosing the 1 hour and 15 min routes. Not workouts. Not races. Are some routes just buggy?
I had the same issue yesterday at Coli d’Ordino (Climb of the Week). Shifting dissapeared and Zwift Ride switched to erg mode by itself. It was in the very early stage. And that was for the second time I faced such issue. Few weeks ago similar situation happened but on a different route. The shifting looked like it was working — the gear numbers were changing, but the resistance stayed on the same level (no erg mode). In both cases, yesterday and the time before, I had the Kickr Core 2 connected over Wi-Fi and I had to completely reconnect the Zwift Ride because jump to a new route didn’t fix it. And for exactly these reasons, I switch back to a Bluetooth connection until I decide to give Wi-Fi another chance.
So switching to Bluetooth helped? Good to know I will try that!
Sounds like more of the same weirdness with wifi trainer connections at the moment.
