Second time riding the stage 5 group ride while I wait for stage 6 to come up. I took this as a recovery ride not pushing the w/kg too high. I completed the previous ride 35:01 versus today at 42:07. Average speed today came in at 17.4 mph versus 21.0 two days ago. See the ZwiftPower.com events comparison below the video.
The number of riders fell below the first time. After I rode I watched the stage 6 Pro/Am race on the Richmond course to get a flavor for how they do it.
Saturday looks like a possible outside ride with the temperature finally getting above 60 and no rain, maybe a sunny sky too.
After the unboxing the Lynskey R300 Titanium bike I needed to add several accessories to make it ready to ride. Some of those are personal choices that I became familiar with after years of biking.
Now that these are in place the next step is the out and back calibration ride for the PowerPod power meter. Friday’s weather looks like that ride will take place on Saturday though.

Banking on Buffalo Bayou – Winter 2020
Buffalo Bayou Partnership | buffalobayou.org
A continuing goal for BBP is providing connectivity up and down Houston’s historic waterway. In downtown, projects totaling nearly $6 million in federal and private funds raised by BBP, extended the trail from Main to Smith streets. By incorporating bridge abutments and other infrastructure, the trail linking Allen’s Landing to Sesquicentennial Park is one of the most distinctive in the city.
2020: In partnership with Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) and Houston Parks Board’s Bayou Greenways Program, and thanks to generous gifts from Gerald and Jeff Hines and Sis and Hasty Johnson, BBP will begin construction on another unique trail extending from Allen’s Landing to east downtown and beyond. Once again, existing infrastructure will be used as the trail winds its way through the basements of several historic County buildings. We also hope to join with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and open the long-awaited Clayton Homes Trail and pedestrian bridge east of downtown.

I didn’t want to do another beginner’s ride today so I chose stage 5 race on Central Park Perimeter Loop racing 11.5 miles and riding a total of 11.56 miles. The questions is how did this compare to the first time? Looking at my results at Zwiftpower.com my w/kg today was 2.4 vs 2.6 on Tuesday. Average watts look like this: Tuesday 186 and to 169 today.
January 28th Stage 5 Race
January 30th Stage 5 Race
While I raced I watched my watts closely and tried to stay in a group except maybe going uphill where drafting doesn’t help that much.
