[Closed] What do I need for Zwift?

I'd like to give Zwift a go, but I'm unsure of exactly what kit I need. At present I have:

- A bike(!)
- Minoura B60-R turbo trainer
- Laptop (Windows 10, Core i3 if it makes a difference?)
- Samsung Galaxy S5 phone

Am I right in thinking that if I buy [url= http://http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/garmin-speed-cadence-sensor/rp-prod134821?_requestid=7356364 ]this[/url] and an ANT+ dongle of some sort for the laptop, then Zwift will be able to 'see' my bike/turbo trainer and I'll be hot to trot? Or is there more to it?

I think that's it for a basic setup as far as I can tell. Much the same as for TrainerRoad.

Any Zwift users on here? Views/opinions? Not tried it yet, not quite sure what to make of it really.

I'm on it. Its not as focused as trainer road but better than just plugging away on turbo...and free!

there should be an organised stw ride sometime!
