I’m looking to knock out a longer Zwift ride on my birthday this Saturday. I have decent base and have already completed my “A” ride for the year so nothing on the calendar for a while.
What are your thoughts? The Pretzel, PRL Half, Zwift Century (never completed a century before). Any suggestions? PRL Full not an option.
Finally get that Everest badge. Probably get the century at the same time.

Lol, with a 2.44 w/kg FTP, I’ll pass for now. Great idea for real cyclist though.

Uber-Pretzel or nothing…
I would recommend looking at the ride schedule and seeing if there is a group ride that could meet your objectives…helps make the longer, harder routes more tolerable.

Bestbikesplit has me just over 6 hours.
Definite the Uber or Mega Pretzel.
Or do Disaster or Disaster -1 while completing as many of the Neokyo routes as you can.

You guys have a lot faith in my abilities. I’m leaning towards a pretzel or a flat century.
If you’ve never completed a century before then that’s a good target to aim for. To make your life easier you can join the C or D grade pace partners and enjoy the massive draft. 100km will take about 2hr35m

Watopias Waistband is quite a good route for doing an imperial century on. Its flat but incorporates a few different areas to keep it interesting.

How about a Zwift Imperial Century in less than 4:30? Very do-able on Fuego Flats!

Mega Pretzel is fun but I am not a fan of the Jungle/dirt routes. I would try for a longer route without those.

Ever since Zwift slowed the speed on dirt I haven’t been a fan either, even though I’d love to ride gravel IRL (fewer cars).

“Riding” gravel virtually is just dumb…hey, let me work harder to go slower and get none of the enjoyment of actually riding gravel.
