Weekly Pace Partner Update - W/C 30th May

Rode with Brevet for 50km. “Warm up” at 3.6 was definitely interesting.

I liked the dynamic pacing up the hills but it definitely made for a bit of an interval session and was definitely harder than a flat route (as you’d expect).

Very enjoyable. 50k and 500m elevation through 75 minutes. :sweat_smile:

Hey everyone,

We’ve just made a change which we hope to have an impact on those ATV, iOS and Android users who were struggling to join a Pace Partner.

Please let me know if you still have problems.

Is there a request in to change to firstnames in Zwift selection screen? Eg. is B. Blazer the same as Bernadette, etc?

No. I just refer to them by (mostly) their first names.

They’re a bit like my children.

Nice developments … enjoying that uphill is slightly harder and that going down the pace partner is slowing down … any chance pp’s will be available on each world ? Would be great for pb’s to be broken in other worlds. Or mountain pp’s for e.g. Mont Ventoux ?

It has to be on a loop, which means no to VenTop and Alpe du Zwift.

I started imagining what you might do for a Christmas/holiday card photo…

Something like this?

Strange behavior on my Coco ride this morning.

All riders disappeared over the 360 View bridge on both of the laps I did. All reappeared a bit further down the road.

Did not happen just to me, others on the ride were also commenting.


^From the original post

Just to let you know about an issue selecting pp today and the fact the list shows the pp in incremental wkg.
There are times (infrequent) where Coco is slower than one of the D bots so she moved up to 4th in the list.
I was slow in selecting my ride so she had then revert back to her normal pace and so was in 5th spot.
I selected to ride with the D bot but it joined me with Coco, almost as if the UI hadn’t worked out that the bots had swapped places in the list. Not sure if that makes sense or not.

I saw that as well today, trying to select Coco. I knew I selected Coco, but when I clicked Next, it said I was riding with the B bot. I went back, and selected Coco again, and then it stuck.

This is because it uses live pace. So when she is going downhill it eill show her lower w/kg on the home screen.

We know about it and will fix, i think early autumn.

Just use Über Pretzel. It’s a loop and Alpe is in it. :thinking: :sweat_smile:

None of the routes that include the Alpe are a loop.

Sorry, my bad. It’s not Über Pretzel, it’s Four Horsemen. But it is a loop!

Four Horsemen sure is a loop. That climb out of the jungle is just brutal.

Thanks for thinking about running pace partners. Not sure they make sense on May Field - just too short to be any fun as a route. If people want a track session, they can just set the treadmill - they don’t need a pace partner! It’s more fun to run with a PP on an actual route.

Bung them all on the 5k loop and see how they go?
