This article from 2016 recently popped up again:

mysterious-1.3699012
As is the case with most issues, if I think I need to know something I
go about trying to learn it. I've little time for learning about stuff
I have no need to know.
Yep. So much for curiosity, so much for education... Ignorance is bliss!
No, ignorance would be when someone doesn't know something they need
to know.
the irony of being ignorant of the definition of ignorance.....
Just for the edification of the floriduh dumbass - ignorance is not
predicated by need.
Perhaps you can tell us more about your virtual races and how they add in
rolling resistance and wind resistance. Talk about ignorance!

Maybe try it if youre so interested? As you complain about roads/weather
would give one an option.

Good idea. Tom might already have a power meter somewhere:
<

"Like I said, I had a power meter on my Colnago and after reading a
couple of times and recording that 298 watts it matched what I thought
I was making and I had no further need for it. It is still laying
around here somewhere but I couldn't care less."
Tom could start by connecting his existing power meter to his
computer, install the app, create an account, and he's ready to ride.
Or, he can use his Garmin speed/cadence sensor(s). With Tom's
impressive wealth, cost should not be an obstacle. 14 day free trial.
After that, $20/month or $200/year plus sales tax.
"Zwift: your complete guide"
<

"If you have a power meter, you can make do with any kind of trainer
or rollers. Zwift will use the data from your power meter to calculate
your in-game speed, but obviously youll miss out on simulated
gradients and controlled Workouts that come with using an indoor
training bike or smart trainer. A speed/cadence sensor is the most
basic option and enables you to use your regular bike (with no power
meter) attached to a conventional trainer."
