The club is inviting several organizations to take part in the new event such as the YMCA, Children’s Discovery Museum, the Victoria Public Library and the Nazareth academy. Also, the club will partner with the …

Zwift FZR Thursday Tempo Ride (E) France R G V

Texbiker.net Posted on by

It was a little chilly when it was time to ride plus I had an appointment in the middle of the afternoon so I opted to Zwift. I chose the FZR Thursday Tempo Ride on the France R G V course starting at 11:30 AM and running for 60 minutes. This marked the third time I rode this course, 2 for 60+ minutes and 1 for 46 minutes all in 2021. The course covers the upper, larger loop of the map in a clockwise direction. The first 12km is pan-flat, while the back half includes a timed KOM and some rollers along the river. “R.G.V” stands for route grand vitesse, or “high speed road”. A fitting name, since this route is definitely one for the sprinters. Though only 24km in length, it includes three timed sprint segments! I biked 21.06 miles today versus my last ride on March 2nd when I rode 22.06 miles. 499 feet of climbing over the 21.06 miles was spread out thankfully.

After I finished I saw 25,846 people listed as online in Zwift. There were 253 in my event.

The tempo ride leader asked everyone to ride in power zone 3 which I think I accomplished from the ride summary in Golden Cheetah below.

Screenshots from the ride.

Allison Lacey: Spend time downtown during spring break

www.victoriaadvocate.com

… There are two events happening this Saturday that are tailor-made for family fun and safe social distancing. Up first is the 2021 Kiwanis Riverside Ride and KIDZFest.

The Ride starts at 8 a.m. in DeLeon Plaza and consists of five “rides” ranging from 6 miles to 60 miles. Now, I will tell you, I did this once when it was 40 miles, and I literally thought I was going to die. I was an unexperienced rider on a Wal-Mart bike with no actual concept of how long 40 miles on a bicycle was. It was one of those “my eyes were bigger than my stomach” scenarios, and I was just thankful I survived. I’m being a little dramatic, of course, but it was one of the least informed decisions I have ever made.

This year, however, KIDZFest has been added and that is probably more my speed. This part of the event, also in …
