This put me inside to ride after watching the University of Cincinnati lose a close game to the Georgia Bulldogs. I needed the ride to get me past the lose. I still am wearing the New year&#8217;s Top Hat helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Serpentine Start to 2021 Zwifting\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Rbw2YI3JGQk?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>Searching the Watopia routes I selected the Serpentine 8 because of the 12.0 distance and relative climbing. I forgot there was a 4+ mile lead in to the course and stopped at 14.91 miles. The sidebar showed over 4,200 other people on the courses connected to this one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My goals for January include 150 miles on Zwift and 300 road miles. A good start towards the Zwift goal. Next week the weather should warm up enough to get some road miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lots of silver medals on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/4551172298\">Strava<\/a><\/strong> segments. 7 to be exact. Since this is the second time on this course the records to compare with are not very many but I will take each medal I get. Looking at the power data in Golden Cheetah the ride watts were below my average but I sweated so I consider it a good workout. Average heart rate was 140. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
