This ties into exactly what is being talked about in the Zwift thread, and why Zwift is spending millions of dollars on Marketing and advertising, because they hope that when you go on a competing platform you will feel like you are in a ghost town... and I gotta say, it's working.

I found the app and the screen interface to be a bit clumsy at first but then figured it out. I am using a PC running Win 10 and Tru-Trainer smart rollers. When I launch the screen program on the PC it has a 4 digit PIN that I need to input into the phone app to get started. I think that's kinda dumb but it's what they do. Once logged in it recognizes all my ANT+ and Bluetooth devices and is ready to go.

Before I tried RGT, I hated to ride indoors. With RGT, I am motivated to ride much longer and harder. I actually enjoy it and am now tempted to buy a smart trainer.

I started using it a few weeks ago and have done a several races and group rides per week. There is a learning curve, and I needed to do a "drafting clinic" to hone my technique. There are a couple Facebook groups where questions, rides, and races are posted. (Personally, I wish they had a forum like vBulletin.)

The free version is fully functional, except it lacks the ability to create courses and select certain RGT courses. However, there are many group rides and races that take place on a huge variety of courses.

I haven't tried Zwift, but a common analogy I hear is "Zwift is like a video game and RGT is like a simulator". Zwift definitely has the advantage of number of riders, but RGT is growing and improving. Today, I rode in a weekly race series put on by a Slovenian club. We had ninety riders; each week the numbers increase.
