At the start of today’s Zwift bike ride all of the pieces were in place as the clock counted down to the 12:01 PM start time. I followed the group but by around mile 1 they went up the road. Some group rides utilize a leader and a fence but not today so the fast Zwifters took off in a cloud of bits.
I settled in around position 335 for a couple of miles until some faster cyclists caught me and moved me back to around the 395 to 400 spot. I rode with S.1 for a while until we separated on a hill, he went ahead of me. Several other solo cyclists came along I took their wheel for drafting purposes and sometimes they took mine. All groups totaled 1231 Zwifters with 526 in my group, “B”. Group A rode 2 laps.
Strava reported I set at least 3 new Personal Records. One segment where I had the second fastest time sported the “Where The Pie Is Baked” name. People can be creative naming segments.
The 18.1 mile route lapped around Watopia not retracing any roads that I could tell. The climbing was modest at 509 feet. I think there was a brief section at 8%. After yesterday’s Zwift ride I aired up the rear tire on the Blue Norcross AL to 90 psi and today it felt slight easier to pedal for watts.
While I rode UPS delivered my new Wahoo Elemnt Bolt computer which I will set up for biking outside tomorrow.
