For some reason I have an aversion to riding a route too often in Zwift but on the road I might repeat the same route a couple of times in a week. Today I rode the Watopia’s Waistband route for the 7th time, maybe the route I rode the most in Zwift. I started the ride at 1:39 PM after messing around on my computer for too long.I wasn’t alone in Zwift when I opened the companion app 25,490 other people were there.
Outside the weather was 50 degrees under mostly cloudy skies and a NW 13 mph wind. This was below my comfort threshold for riding outside.
Reading the route description in Zwift I thought the distance was 15.8 miles with 312 feet of climbing and no lead-in. Starting the ride the banner at the top of the screen showed 17.2 miles. ZwiftInsider.com shows the route distance at 15.8 miles plus a 1.5 mile lead-in and 312 feet of climbing. My ride came in at 17.38 miles and 335 feet of climbing. The route is mostly flat with the elevation on rolling hills. There was a nice descent around 8km.
I did not try to match my personal record for the Fuego Flats sprint. My pace partner was out front but not too far.
Below is the ride history from SportTracks.
