I disagree on the carbon wheels. I found a difference with mine over Alu. even if I’m sporting Superteams for a short period.
I second the Smart Trainer and Zwift. I can knock out 25 miles a day fairly easy but my 1st few days on Zwift is kicking my arse. No way to simulate hills on true South Louisiana roads I guess. Zwift threw me on a 10% incline a couple days ago 20 minutes after I ate a hamburger and i regretted every bite.
If you’re riding roads check out Garmin Varia. I am way more comfortable with it.
Bike position is key and if your a dumbass like me pay attention to your toes. I tend to curl mine up/tension while riding leading to knee pain. I have to cycle through focus points like knees and elbows in, toes flat and relaxed.

Superteams
I am just getting into cycling, beats the shite out of a long run.
Wife and I are signed up for the 65 miler in Eureka Springs, AR next month. 3500ish feet of elevation gain
So far Ive done some pretty tough 30s with hills, mild 40 and a stroll 50. Trying to get out with the big dogs and not get dropped too hard.

If any of y’all saw an old guy on Zwift tonight doing a tidy 3mph up Fox Hill in London .... don’t laugh, lol. 10 - 14 degrees ascent for a kazillion feet liked to kill this old guy. No stops though.
