Deciding a Zwift event was more than I wanted I chose to free ride on the Watopia Tick Tock course. According to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/tick-tock\/\">ZwiftInsider.com<\/a><\/strong> this route &#8220;is a clockwise loop covering Fuego Flats and portions of the Ocean Boulevard tube. Released as part of Zwift\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s <a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/fuego-flats-release\/\">Fuego Flats desert expansion<\/a>, this route is flatter than <a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/watopia-flat-route\/\">Watopia Flat<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/volcano-flat\/\">Volcano Flat<\/a>, with the only pitchy bits being in and out of Fuego Flats, and in and out of the ocean tunnel.&#8221; Free rides seem to be squishy on the starting location and today was no exception. I took the Zwift distance and climbing numbers 10.5 miles and 157 feet of climbing as gospel but my bike ride was 10.72 miles with 174 feet of climbing. Close but not exact. Since there is no announcement when I completed the route I stopped after passing the starting pen entrance. As I approached the end the bottom of the &#8220;Nearby Zwifter&#8221; box showed 9,385 Zwifting. I did pass and get passed by many people in both directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was an easy bike ride to finish the week. I biked every day this week either on the road or in Zwift. I am making progress on my road goal while my Zwift goal is much closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
