Not sure if this is the right category. When you do the TDZ level A does the direct drive smart trainer setting automatically default to higher than 50%? I ask this as today I did stage 7 and compared the ride to a Watopia one I did 4 weeks ago. Today it took me 25 minutes longer to complete TDZ versus a 4km longer Watopia ride previously. Climb, average power and average HR all otherwise similar. But burnt 300 calories more today suggesting higher effort otherwise. Overall I feel fitter so can’t explain this anomaly other than thinking trainer effort must have defaulted to a higher setting. Thanks Gerry
The dirt circuit in the jungle is much slower than tarmac when on a road bike. An MTB is better in the jungle. Could that explain the difference that you saw?

Thanks Steve that’s interesting! I’m pretty new to zwift and wondered why so many people were on MTBs. Suspect that could be the answer then.
