Alpe du ZWIFT in 60 mins - 100Kg/220lbs newbie + Wahoo Kickr Bike ROCKER
My first proper attempt at Alpe du Zwift with a 60 min target and using my brand new ROCKER plate with my Wahoo Kickr Bike.
As a new rider to ZWIFT, and at 100kg, it will need about 320 watts all the way - NOT EASY!
For more information on the awesome rocker plate, complete with WHEELS to move your bike around the pain cave, check out Tim Churchill at Churchill Woodcraft on Facebook.

Just go harder than last time. Keep it simple. This video was quite entertaining and informative.
Getting off the bike “The Wolf of Wall Street style” is my favourite 🤣😂🤣
The 'Shaking like a shitting dog' stage after finishing always shows true commitment to the task at hand, brilliant climb Mark, not sure about the graceful dismount though 😂
Finally saw the iconic bike-falling-off scene in all its glory 🤣
I think I discovered a new favourite late night hobby. Watch people suffer up the Alpe. Well done Mr. Lewis.
This does make me laugh . Jen can hear you screaming , shouting and cussing , and nobody comes to your aid . Your could of had a heart attack it be buried under something screaming and nobody comes .
Would have to disagree with the ‘gimmick’ comment in regards the climb element of the bike. When it creates the 8-15% gradients at 100% level on zwift its creating the same gradient as it would IRL going up Alpe d’Huez. With the groupset i use i have to do the alpe out of the saddle for about 50% to 60% of the time due to this , just like i would if i rode it IRL , and different muscle groups are being used at these gradients when out of the saddle , so highly beneficial to cyclists who go climbing IRL. People will say watts are watts which is true but training at different gradients and lower cadences due to gradients has massively helped me IRL climbing hills. If you’re just going to cycle flat courses then its not an issue.
As I share this my mates I find myself watching it again.......your sticker n the KICKR bike..."MARK LEWIS" is NOT level!!! The horror. Sayin' for a friend. Cheers - Cliff
If this happens to you at the end of your ride it means you did NOT cooldown. Always cooldown! a 3-10min extremely easy ride or 50% ftp or lower until you feel somewhat refreshed then your good to get off. It helps in other ways too but do your own research I'm not a doctor I just ride bikes
You've just described exactly what happened to me on my first alpe last month. Similar story in terms of cycling beginner but managed 59min 55 after seeing 60mins 20 predicted. I think I also fell off the bike similarly. Stellar effort!
That dismount is the best thing I have seen in ages. Massive kudos 😂
i finally found it! i've been watching all your biking videos for this infamous clip and i finally found it! well done on crushing it
Kudos to you.
Excellent video - thank you for creating. Nice blend of honesty, humour and commitment.
shouldn't laugh, your delivery is amusing in general. but getting off the bike at the end ...priceless .Keep up the great work and vids.
This is one of the best cycling videos one KZread! No GNC sugar coating that all the videos with sponsorship have.
love every one of your video's mate. There have been so many things in my fitness life I have now changed, after watching the many pieces of your content. I have found your explanations easy to follow. All with credible reasoning. Keep up the brilliant work. I rewatch a lot of your videos when I start to feel slack lol. It motivates me right back where I need to be.
Sweet work!! Made my own rocker plate, similar design, 5 rubber isolation mounts down the centerline with a ball on each side at 3psi. Love it and it makes such a difference!!!
Mate, absolute beatsmode, full shakes, Googins would be proud. I’m sat chuckling at the noises your neighbours must hear coming out or your garage. Top work.
