My name is Adam, I am 35 years old and I am a former marathon runner who shifted his focus on ZWIFT CYCLING.

Road to A is a channel focused on INDOOR ZWIFT RACING with the ultimate goal of reaching the A+ CATEGORY. Is it progression realistic? Maybe. I’ll need to train a lot and lose a lot of weight, too. However, I believe the BIGGEST LIMITATIONS riders (and athletes in general) have are those they put on themselves and this channel is my way to prove that idea. If you feel like you are riding (or living) BENEATH YOUR POTENTIAL, you need to tag along! The destination is clear but the journey won’t be easy.

Currently I am racing in C CATEGORY.

As for my ZWIFT SETUP – I am riding on a ZWIFT HUB ONE indoor trainer. Steering can give you pretty substantial advantage during the racing and for that I am using the ZWIFT PLAY controllers. I use these for virtual shifting as well and to make sure I’ll be covered if they run out of battery or generally stopped working, I’ve got the ZWIFT CLICK as well. I am running my Zwift in 4K and using the ULTRA settings.

06:35 One of the STEEPEST climbs in Prague

Welcome to Prague, Czech Republic everyone. At this time it is Not a Zwift Ride Welcome to my first outdoor ride on this channel. This ride is going to be sort of a test ride because I need to test my outdoor recording setup, check the audio. I think mainly the audio will need some tweaking. I’m filming with my Insta360 X4. And I’m going to go for an endurance ride today. I will try to keep my heart rate under 150 BPM. Except a few smaller climbs. Where I will do a little bit of a surge And one big climb. That I’m going to test myself on. It was supposed to be raining but… Oh my god! There’s a car in here Another one. I don’t meet cars here very often. Oh, I have to clip in. Yeah, it was supposed to be raining today. And it’s beautiful. I’m riding on my gravel bike. As you can see, it’s very useful around where I live. At the end of this ride there is a horrible hill. It’s very short, it’s about 400 meters. But it’s super steep. It’s like 12.5% on average. Okay, wait. I’m in an agricultural zone right now. So there are these machines. It’s about 12.5% gradient But the steepest part of the hill is over 40%. And I hate that hill. Because I hate it. Of course I’m going to use it in my video, right? So at the top of the climb I’m going to check if I’m recording. Maybe change the position of the camera a little bit. And I’ll see you on the descent. So there’s a lot of people on this cycle path. It’s the main cycle path in Prague. It goes all the way around Vltava River. It’s very popular. This path is where I was training miles and miles for my marathons and half marathons. I spent so much time in here. Mainly as a runner though. Okay guys. This is one of the steepest climbs in Prague. Let’s do it. Oh that was horrible. Let’s do a little bit of a turn. I want to show you something. I know this is mainly about the riding but check this. Prague is very hilly if you didn’t know that. So you’ve got plenty of outlook points like that in here. Or lookout points. Still very difficult to speak fluent English when in a high effort. But this is another huge benefit of me creating this channel in January. I can already feel my spoken English improved compared to where I was in the beginning. My English was always very good when it came to reading or listening. Even writing I didn’t have any problems with that but speaking without preparation is way more difficult. Unfortunately this is where my camera battery died. I needed to make this video to learn more about video production while outside. Up until this point I was only making inside video but I think even the videos from outside can be quite enjoyable if done right. I will need to fix the audio until next time. I am fully aware of that and I already made some steps in order to improve it. Hopefully you enjoyed this video and will return when I make more videos from the outside. My main focus is still on Zwift racing but I think it will be fun to supplement it with a little bit of riding outside, doing some challenges and so on and so forth.
