Last year when my mother in law died I couldn't leave my wife alone so I Zwifted most of the time. Consequently that was my best season (though some of that has to do with Asthma getting under control). When I first started I podiumed a race with over 200 people. Sadly, that trainer probably was reading too high and my current one matches my power meter.
There are just too many variables for a good ride outside. I've just had so many days ruined by flats or getting dropped, etc. Being as fast as the A guys but not have the jump of the A guys means I get dropped by them and bored in the B ride.
This is a fan remote. If you don't have one get one. (Also get a fan)
