Zwift Tron Bike achievement unlock?

I just finished up SSBLV1 then SSBMV2 now I’m on rest week. But i really want the Tron bike on zwift. So i did the math and if i ride Alpe Du Zwift 4 days a week for the next 6 weeks i can have it. Does this sound like a viable training block?

I think im dumb enough to try this

Depends on what intensity you’re riding up…given that it’s an hour’s climb for most people, pretty much any session can be done during a single ascent.

Do you have a way to run Zwift and TR at the same time? That is what I did - just followed my normal plan and rode of Alpe du Zwift each time I did a workout…

Just use the TR + Z process and follow your regular TR workouts and plan, but you can still ride up ADZ and earn without doing a dedicated block.

I ride up the Alpe 3 or 4 times a week while doing TR workouts. I’ve had a tron bike for a long time, but I still do it because I like the Alpe. Typically it takes about 11 minutes to get to the Alpe and anywhere from 50-70 minutes to climb it depending on the workout. A 90 minute ride is perfect to get you up and on the way down.

Thanks for that tip. I guess i will have to learn how to find riders that are already on the Alp. Brilliant!

Right now the tour of fire and ice is taking me almost 2 hours :weary: im old and weak :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Zwift is leaving millions on the velodrome infield by not following gamings brilliant micro transactions model.

Whilst I don’t want to see if happen its very true… I’m surprised there is no Zwift version of a Battle/ Season Pass yet!

For sure it’s tongue in cheek (and would be horrible if it did happen) but I’m seriously surprised it’s not already been implemented.

100% guaranteed Zwift has looked into it.

Doesn’t “road to the sky” get you there quicker?

I may or may not have done some of my tron bike climbing outside with zwift running on my android phone in my jersey pocket connected to my power meter.

Quickest access, according to the Lama:

  • Jungle Circuit, and do a manual turn to the Right, to get on the climb.

Fair enough… but it’s quicker than the “tour of fire and ice” route.

Like I said, road to sky gets you to the Alpe in 10-12 minutes at warm up pace. There may be faster ways, but it’s just simple for me to choose that route and then pick it every day.

That’s great for a pure Z ride with Z setting resistance in SIM mode.

But if a person is doing the TR+Z with TR workout driving the bus, and the goal is max elevation for the time spent, the shortcut I shared is beneficial.

I’m talking about TR+Z with TR controlling.

Ah, very interesting.

That makes me feel so good.

Can’t get to the top in a 90 mins threshold session. Maybe I have to use a “Zwift scale” and revise my weight?
