Since I find myself with so much more time at home, I might want to do rides that aren’t so structured as the workouts in my calendar (in addition to, not as a swap). Are their any rides like that on TR, or do I need to use Zwift or something to mimic that? And , if I don’t really care about the soc…

There are some options Free Rides on TR - look them up under workouts You could try Zwift, maybe you’d like it - reacting to rolling terrain makes it worth it for me. Gives a better simulation of the real thing I assume since you mention the Wahoo App that you have a Kickr or Kickr Core. You can s…

I’d recommend giving Zwift racing a try with your extra time. It’s what a lot of us do to supplement TR’s structure and it gives a good benchmark of your fitness.

Rides like petite, baxter, taku, dans, etc are all good ones to just spin for an hour or so. If you have a smart trainer then you should be ab…

Absolutely - if you’re on a smart trainer, I love Baxter. It’s endurance but the power changes are enough to keep it interesting. Otherwise I just use the filter feature on the workout catalog and select endurance and then the duration I want to spend on the bike. If I’m just looking for time on th…

Thank you so much for your thoughtful replies. Super, super helpful! Hope you stay safe and well.

Very good reminder. :slight_smile: Just trying to do a little bit extra, low stress spinning because the pool is closed. Be well!
