Outside the temperature dropped from 53 to 45 and light rain fell. In Zwift the Watopia Jungle Circuit was hot and dusty. Starting at 12:02 PM the course was 13.3 miles long and 574 feet of climbing according to the description. I actually rode 13.46 miles and climbed 571 feet, but who&#8217;s nitpicking the details. The meanest climb was the swayback suspension bridge which we rode up twice just to make a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I rode my Cannondale Evo road bike but many rode mountain bikes. I almost switched to the MTB until I looked at the weight and aero stars. The Cannondale Evo was better in each category. Maybe I will spend some &#8220;Drops&#8221; on a better MTB?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/jungle-circuit\/\">Zwiftinsider.com<\/a><\/strong> the course description, &#8220;<strong>Watopia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Jungle Circuit\u00e2\u20ac\u009d\u00c2\u00a0was added with the <a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/jungle-expansion\/\">Mayan jungle expansion<\/a> in late October 2017. This is a <em>lollipop<\/em> route, meaning you start with a lead-in then remain on the circuit portion until your legs fall off.<\/strong>&#8221; Today we took two laps after the lead-in which I didn&#8217;t know about until reading the Zwiftinsider. com description. I thought the two laps were 6.65 miles each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/zwifthacks.com\/app\/routes\/svg\/route\/?world=1&amp;route=13&amp;showprofile=1&amp;showlegend=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the group ride results at Zwiftpower.com 316 cyclists show up with me at 301. During the ride I saw the nearby Zwifters count around 643 to 654. Not everyone has a Zwiftpower profile.<\/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
