I wanted to ride at least 20 miles today. Outside the temperature was improving from the 32.7 degrees when I got up around 6:30 AM. I needed to go someplace this afternoon so no time to wait for it to warm up more. Browsing through the Watopia routes after looking at the other available worlds the Tempus Fugit course looked just right with 105 feet elevation gain in 11.3 miles. The problem was the short distance. So I created a meetup setting the distance to 22.6 miles. I guessed the elevation gain would be over 200 feet but turned out to be just 190 feet, even better. I used Microsoft’s CoPilot (It appears CoPilot looked this up at ZwiftInsider.com and Zwift.com) and learned “The route starts and ends at the desert arch, which is also the finish line for the Fuego Flats sprint segment. Along the way, you will pass by various landmarks, such as the cliff dwellings, the old town, the oasis, and the Saddle Springs resort town. The route has two segments: the Fuego Flats Reverse segment, which is 7.1 km (4.4 miles) long, and the Fuego Flats sprint segment, which is 0.5 km (0.3 miles) long.” I set a Zwift 90 day PR on Fuego Flats Reverse of 13:09.8 cutting about 4 seconds from my previous PR in Zwift. No Strava PR though. This was the 6th ride on Tempus Fugit since I started Zwifting.

I used a different mic for audio. It was a small improvement.
