I saw a couple of people I follow on Strava using it. Their comments were along the lines of it looking good, but you could ride for ages without seeing anyone. So, no groups to draft or people to set your sights on trying to catch up with.

I had 3 rides this morning on some familiar climbs. I think they have got their physics model pretty close as using my correct measurements and power from my Assioma pedals I recorded times that would have been very close for the same power in the real world. Fortunately I had a few people on the same routes to chase down and focus on. 52/36 with 12-25 meant a lot of gear changing and a bit of grinding as I left the trainer difficulty on 100%. I'd have to say it has potential.

Finally took the plunge. Graphics good, page lay out clean, one touch functionality good. Thought I'd enjoy it more, but found myself thinking Zwift is still better. Maybe because I am more familiar with it.
Did Baleach-na-Ba to see if I should try it in real life when we go on holiday to Scotland in April (or later as Covid dictates). I completed the climb, but not sure how true to life it was. Will try the Bwlch on Monday, which I'm more familiar with.

If you left the trainer difficulty slider on 100% and your trainer was able to serve up enough resistance then I'd say it was very realistic. I made the mistake of having a 12-25 cassette on Karen's trainer so 36/25 had me grinding on the steep bits. Looking at my power and speed compared to the gradient it was close enough to real life.
