When I looked at the ride description it said &#8220;this is a slow ride for beginners on Zwift which means we ride at 1.3-1.6 w\/kg for most of the ride.&#8221; My average speed came in at 21.2 mph which means fast in my book. Regarding the 1.3-1.6 w\/kg, the times I kept in this range I fell to the back of the peloton and I increased to 2.3+ w\/kg to catch up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5 laps around the London course for a total of 21.08 miles including a 3.5 mile lead in with a total riding time of 59:38 resulted in the average speed I mentioned above. 236 fellow Zwitfers rode the course today. One climb per lap hit 6% but not a long one. I gained lost places going up the hill and slowed a couple of times to avoid crossing through the fence. The last 2 kilometers the fence came off and the pace increased leaving me to pedal harder to maintain my position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strava recorded three new personal records while Zwift showed five. I moved up to Level 11 and unlocked the London Classique. I now have the digital camo kit in my garage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason I went Zwifting today was the cold weather outside: mid 50&#8217;s and sunny, below my 60 degree tolerance level. The cool weather will continue with a chance of rain on Friday meaning another opportunity to be on the smart trainer in a Zwift world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure
