At first I rode near the back but worked my way up near the front and a couple of times into #1 position. Watching the fence required diligence and I rode through it a few times but slowed down to let it pass me. Each time I did that I dropped from the front group to 20th position or more. The ride more was an attention keeper to stay behind the fence than an all out effort like yesterday&#8217;s ride up several 12% climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hard Work Staying Behind The Fence in The Herd&#039;s Thursday Beginner Group Ride\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eaPqCcR7Fns?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The weather outside was not quite up to my 60 degree threshold before the start time. Tomorrow (Friday) the temperature should get in the mid 60&#8217;s and I will ride outdoors. Great option to ride Zwift indoors when the weather isn&#8217;t warm and\/or dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Strava I set three Personal Records on segments during today&#8217;s ride. The number of segments in the ride is large, after listing a bunch 157 hidden ones remained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s ride totaled <strong>16.87 miles<\/strong> putting the week at <strong>86.98 mile<\/strong>s (road + Zwift). December totals <strong>158.38 miles<\/strong> (road + Zwift) and year to date stands at <strong>7,828 mile<\/strong>s, the most I rode in a year. Last year due to leg surgery I rode 0 miles in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have been tempted to buy another bike to ride indoors but I keep coming back to the Blue Norcross AL has no issues and can&#8217;t justify a change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/2928791639\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\"
