The weather outside was good for biking but I decided to go Zwifting instead. I checked the upcoming events and chose the ZZRC Sub 2.0 Ride starting at 12:40 PM. The course was the recently released Beach Island Loop but rather just one loop the ride went 60 minutes. For a change my Bluetooth dongle and the sensors talked to each other without disconnecting at the start. This time I used the dongle in place of the built-in Bluetooth in my desktop computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later today a front will arrive making the next several days Zwifting days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got on my Blue Norcross AL bike a couple of minutes before the ride began to warm up and test the sensors. At the start I went out with the group and stayed with them until about 7 minutes into the ride when they rode away from me. I was close to the yellow beacon and then I wasn&#8217;t. The &#8220;Sub 2.0&#8221; is supposed to mean staying below 2.0 w\/kg which I did but I could see those ahead of me producing more than 2.0 w\/kg. I upped my power to 3.0 w\/kg but I didn&#8217;t close the gap probably because I was out of the draft. With that I settled into my pace for the rest of the ride. I didn&#8217;t see the fence in front of the leader which I think ups the pace. 301 people registered for the ride with over 11,000 riders on the course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
