Maybe the weather will warm up enough for me to ride outside but the forecast doesn&#8217;t give much hope for several days. I edited the livestream video taking out some of the ride when I was alone. For those who want to watch the full length video it is at the bottom of the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Still Not Able To Stay With the Group Riding Zwift Watopia\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6kAm9_o7mbI?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>My Blue Norcross AL bike is bearing the brunt of biking indoors on my Wahoo Snap smart trainer. The odometer shows 2,516 miles with maybe half of those miles on Zwift rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In search of a ride that I might stay with the group for more than a few seconds I joined the ZZRC Sub 2.0 Group D. The ride lasted 60 minutes for whatever distance and I biked <strong>15.76 miles<\/strong>. Well I stayed with the group for maybe 2 minutes and then they were gone. 334 people registered for the start but I don&#8217;t know how many were actually on the ride. Supposedly everyone averaged 1.7 &#8211; 2.0 W\/KG and there was a fence. Most of the ride I came in below the 1.7 mark but going up the climbs I was above 2.0. According to Golden Cheetah ride summary data my average power was 89 watts or 1.25 W\/KG. Apparently I need to work harder. In the spring I stayed with the group and rode at the front many times, even crashing the fence. Either I am slower or the group is much better. Maybe some of each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
