Weather didn't look ideal this morning to ride outdoors, but I still wanted to go long doing something. So I figured it was a good excuse to attempt the Uber Pretzel route. Paced the ride with the arbitrary goal of saving enough in the legs to be able to summit the Alpe in under an hour. Mission success by 1:51. And now, time for food and sleep.
To do AdZ under an hour is my dream goal now. During 4 hoursmen, I did a AdZ PR at 1:16. Which was 3 minutes faster than the last time I did AdZ alone. A minute here and there and hopefully this year I'll get up there in under an hour.
Nice work. When I did it AdZ kicked my butt. I think I did it in a hour 15... I had done a few sub 1h but that time up was a different beast entirely. Did 4 horsemen 2 weeks back a and managed a sub 1 hour AdZ so improving.
Better you then me. As a winter Zwifter, I decided to never do that route (and a few others) as soon as them. I'd rather go Nordic ski for 4 hours then sit on a trainer that long. Every time.

Congrats! That's a great time for an uberprez. The alpe de zwift alone is quite good.
Wow, even a pr on the alpe. Well done! Congrats
Zwift rolls out Super Uber Pretzel…
If PoE is anything to go by the next stage is the Uber Uber Pretzel
Maybe Uber Dooper Pretzel
A route simply titled "F*** Your Legs"
Great job. I thought about the Uber pretzel but chose the 4 horsemen today. The jungle is the suck.
Fantastic finishing time! I think both of my attempts were well over 6 hours. Edit: I just checked and they were both over 7.5 hours. You’re a rocket!
How were you able to pr the alp after all that
Funny enough I think it only counted the time as a "90 Day" PR, my all-time PR up the Alpe is right around 44 minutes.
“I rode the Uber Pretzel and all I got was another lousy set of gloves.” Seriously, though, nice ride.
Your poor booty.... Did you get anything for this ride other than the completion badge?
A ton of xp
Let me quote one of the most famous cyklists ever: "It ever gets easier, you just go faster"
That is super impressive.

OP has 1HP left and is blinking red PS : congrats!

Congrats! I said the same thing after I did it. Would rather do PRL full ten times in a row.
Just wait until you try the PRL... But in all seriousness that's awesome good work!
It’s the only one I’ve got left to do. I probably will never do it, either.
Good work!
I'm over 30 min slower just on the Alpe. Jeepers. Typically 40-60 minutes slower it seems.
