The weather turned cool after the rain moved through New Year’s Eve. This put me inside to ride after watching the University of Cincinnati lose a close game to the Georgia Bulldogs. I needed the ride to get me past the lose. I still am wearing the New year’s Top Hat helmet.

Searching the Watopia routes I selected the Serpentine 8 because of the 12.0 distance and relative climbing. I forgot there was a 4+ mile lead in to the course and stopped at 14.91 miles. The sidebar showed over 4,200 other people on the courses connected to this one.

My goals for January include 150 miles on Zwift and 300 road miles. A good start towards the Zwift goal. Next week the weather should warm up enough to get some road miles.

Lots of silver medals on the Strava segments. 7 to be exact. Since this is the second time on this course the records to compare with are not very many but I will take each medal I get. Looking at the power data in Golden Cheetah the ride watts were below my average but I sweated so I consider it a good workout. Average heart rate was 140.
