Everything was ready as I warmed up waiting for the 12:06 PM start. Around 2 or 3 minutes before the start I lost my internet connection. The companion app disconnected and all the sensors showed &#8220;no signal&#8221;. I tried troubleshooting the network connection which seemed to solve the problem for a few seconds and then disconnected again. Restarting the companion app didn&#8217;t help. Turning Bluetooth off and on was no good. Looking at my router I saw the internet light was out but all of the lights on my cable modem were lit. After 9 minutes the internet came back, I opened Zwift and was standing on the course with a message that it was trying to find other riders. My sensors could not connect with the companion app so I connected to the Bluetooth on my desktop computer. Then some riders appeared and I started pedaling. From then on to the finish I rode with various riders. At the finish I was 147 out of 215. Not too bad considering the 9 minute late start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"441\" data-attachment-id=\"55324\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2021-01-11_1253361\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361.jpg?fit=2544%2C1401&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2544,1401\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2021-01-11_1253361\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361.jpg?fit=600%2C330&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361.jpg?fit=800%2C441&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361-800x441.jpg?resize=800%2C441&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361.jpg?resize=800%2C441&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361.jpg?resize=600%2C330&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361.jpg?resize=640%2C352&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361.jpg?resize=1536%2C846&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361.jpg?resize=2048%2C1128&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/2021-01-11_1253361.jpg?w=2400 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally the ride lasted 60 minutes but I rode 52:44.
