![]() Is this your favorite thing to do on Zwift? What are your thoughts on other Zwifty activities (structured workouts, races, group rides, running)? You ride with RoboPacers quite a bit I see, putting in rides 6-8 hours long. The crazy thing about your daily ride streak is that those aren’t short rides. That device still works and has well in excess of 70,000 miles! One of the best investments I have ever made. By then my bike had a power meter so one day I popped the bike on that trainer and gave Zwift’s free trial a shot.Īfter a few quick rides I called the bike shop and asked them to order me what looked to be the best trainer on the market: the Tacx Neo. Shortly thereafter another coworker gifted me a dumb-trainer (a rear flywheel setup). He told me I should try it. I responded: Sounds stupid, why would I ride a bicycle indoors? I’ll stick to strength training and riding outside. One day at work a programmer told me about this new video game in beta called Zwift, where you can train and ride a bike inside through a virtual world, up and down hills, etc. I enjoyed riding so much I ended up giving up strength training to ride.Īround work and town people started hearing of my exploits and I became ‘the bike guy’ for lack of a better term. At some point I learned of Strava and that’s when I caught the attention of a local cycling group who helped guide me towards becoming a ‘real’ cyclist. Slowly I gained confidence on the bike, learned more, traveled further, and started moving faster. I was riding around in gym clothes with a backpack and normal street shoes on clip-in pedals. So I tried out a road bike at a local shop in their parking lot – I knew IMMEDIATELY that I HAD to have one. Not being one for running or many other types of cardio, I had the idea that a road bike might be a good way to get cardio work in by riding to and from the gym. I was very passionate about strength training and bodybuilding. I stumbled onto road cycling by accident. How did you come into cycling, and how and when did you arrive at Zwift? While composing this post, I found Keith on the side of the road in Neokyo… 150km into his day’s ride. I live with my girlfriend Tina and our two Australian Shepherds, Bandit and Bowie. Not one for travelling but surely it has to be one of the better places on Earth to ride a bicycle! I am from the Finger Lakes region of New York. I work for a great company that will remain nameless, but I am an ‘Integration Specialist’ or as I like to refer to it: a desk jockey. I am in the EMR industry (Electronic Medical Records). Give me some background about yourself (job, family, location, etc)… Note: Keith is at 308 consecutive imperial centuries as of August 7. Shortly thereafter I knocked out my 3rd 300 imperial century streak ( see Strava activity), my 28th consecutive 1,000+ mile week, and surpassed 10,000,000 feet ascending logged on Strava! I did surpass 1 year of total Zwift time on July 21st ( see Strava activity): Did you achieve your goal? Are you still going? And how did this craziness all begin? I was contacted by Ryan Snow several weeks back, who said you were about to hit 365 days in a row of Zwifting. I got in touch with Keith and we chatted about his backstory and motivations. Check out the difference between my stats and Keith’s: My stats Keith’s stats I’m nowhere close to the top Zwifters in terms of time/distance/elevation, but I’ve ridden on the platform much more than most. It does not store any personal data.A while back I was contacted by avid Zwifter Ryan Snow, who let me know that his friend Keith Roy was about to hit a big milestone on Zwift: 365 days of accumulated Zwift ride time! This is quite an accomplishment, but it’s made more amazing by the sheer length and regularity of Keith’s rides, which happen daily and are typically 100+ miles in length. ![]() The cookie is set by the GDPR Cookie Consent plugin and is used to store whether or not user has consented to the use of cookies.
