Thanks for having all this info! Could the robopacer Watts also be listed here or on the general post about robopacers?

In reply to Simon. Yes, it’s a special schedule outside the normal one for the 24th-31st. That special schedule is spelled out above.

Will the Pace Partner schedule change between Christmas und New Year for all the Festive500 competitors like in the last years? So more pacepartner on flat routes for all tge time?

In reply to Douglass Turner. Because the purpose of RoboPacers is to create natural feeling always on group rides. Not to ride at a steady, unchanging w/kg. That said, Zwift tends to use fairly flat routes for RoboPacers. If you stick to the flatter routes you’ll get your steady pacing…

While I generally like the Robopacer, there is a very annoying aspect to the pacing algorithm. Here is a typical example:
1) I join the 1.5 W/kg ride and slowly drift up the rode gaining maybe 30-40 sec
2) When we come to a hill the robot closes the gap VERY quickly. Far quicker then if they were maintaining 1.5 W/KG
3) The moment the robot catches me I am suddenly doing 3-4 W/KG for 10-12 secs just to maintain contact.
4) This happens all the time.

Why can’t the robot maintain the posted W/KG so I have a nice, calm, Zone 2 ride?

In reply to Matt. 1.8w with Miguel is nice regular pace. 2.2 with Maria is OK. But there is a jump with Coco at 2.6. When I ride with Coco always vigilant to not to lag behind. I was dropped once because not being careful and I did not manage to come back...i do not dare join Yumi
