    Does ZWIFT Prepare You For HARDEST Tour de France Climbs?



    After nearly one year of cycling on Zwift, I tried a REAL CHALLENGE. One of the scariest Tour de France climbs.

    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 B 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.

      Did you know how they came up with Cat 4 to Cat 1 climbs? A Citroën 2CV was the benchmark for a climb. For a Cat 4, the 2CV was able to climb using 4th gear, Cat 3 third gear and so on. Hors category was steeper than a 2CV was able to climb!

      BTW, it maybe the camera angle, but I reckon you could reduce your handlebar width by 2cm for more 'aero'!! Ot looks like your shoulders are narrower than your current bars.
