It was 55 degrees outside which is below my 60 degree threshold. I put the road ride on hold today. I thought I would have access to the new Zwift routes but I must not be on the necessary level. Scrolling through the Watopia routes some had a green check mark and some didn&#8217;t. I thought the ones not checked meant I haven&#8217;t rode them but that may be wrong. I chose the Figure 8 Reverse because it didn&#8217;t have a check mark, the climbing was not too much at 833 feet, and the distance was 18.5 miles. I wanted to get used to the changes in Zwift since my last ride in March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Zwiftinsider.com the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/figure-8-reverse\/\">Figure 8 Reverse<\/a><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/figure-8-reverse\/\"> <\/a>route, &#8220;Watopia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Figure 8\u00e2\u20ac\u009d route covers the entire hilly and flat routes in both directions. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re looking for a ride around an hour long that includes some short climbs and a nice mix of flats and rollers, this is a solid choice. The reverse Figure 8 route is popular with racers since it doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t start with a tough climb out of the box, and has a nice mix of punchy climbs, flats, and rollers to keep the race interesting by allowing for strategic attacks from a variety of riders.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zwiftinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/figure-8-reverse-zwifthub.png?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe height='405' width='590' frameborder='0' allowtransparency='true' scrolling='no' src='https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/6310303033\/embed\/7dcb4ce6ae2c6c5c2443905659e2c433f914be60'><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time to activate Zwift for the cold weather today.
