It’s been a year since my last ride on this route. This route is the second flattest in Watopia with 194 feet elevation gain over 12.0 miles. The 1.5 mile lead-in is flat. I will ride 2 laps. The first of 2 climbs comes at 6.15 miles gaining about 50 feet. The second taller climb starts at 9.1 miles adds 64 feet of elevation. There are a few little spikes in the flat sections. The second lap doesn’t include the 1.5 mile lead-in so I rode beyond the finish at Fuego Flats. The second lap elevation gain was about 19 feet less because of the omitted lead-in. I set a new Zwift 90 day PR on Fuego Flats of 50.45 seconds. Strava shows my all time PR at 44 seconds. Fuego Flats was the only sprint on the course.

After a few weeks of early season racing to check the form, it’s back to a solid training progression to get in race shape for the spring. I’m pretty surprised of where I’m at given just a few high volume weeks with mainly low intensity. Time to ramp up both this time
2 laps totaling 11.1 miles, 508 feet elevation gain. Group C rides a shorter route than Group B (14.9 miles) and much less climbing (1626 feet elevation gain). The Innsbruckring is lumpy and goes up the same climb twice. The climb goes up 111 feet in .84 of a mile. The only time I previously rode this route was October 18th, 2022. I thought the climb on each lap would be harder than it turned out. Once I was on the climb the gradient jumped to 8% and stayed there for awhile. Once I was over the top the downhill was fast. After the ride my legs had enough power left I went for the route badge on the Watopia Temple Trek route. See more on that below.
No livestream for this ride. Temple Trek is a 6.5 mile long route with 128 feet of elevation gain. Normally I would ride 2 or more laps because of the shorter distance but adding it to stage 5 fit nicely. The route begins with a 3.38 mile downhill to the flat road. The remainder of the ride is flat with one rolling ride to get the elevation gain. I garnered these Strava results: 2nd fastest time on Jungle CCW Descent (4:43) and 2nd fastest time on Temple Trek (13:44). The route uses a portion of the southern coast with two sprints.
