The miles and climbing were a significant increase over yesterday&#8217;s ride but I decided to tackle it. I tried to find a ride to join but none appealed to me. I want to ride on the new Neokyo routes and I think the only way I can do that is on a scheduled event. According to Strava I rode 26.79 miles and climbed 1,096 feet. Some of the climbs hit 10%. I tried standing to pedal but my rear tire slipped against the Kickr Snap roller. I changed the mat under my Blue Norcross AL bike before the ride. When I put the bike back on the Kickr I didn&#8217;t tighten the resistance enough. I didn&#8217;t want to stop to fix that. No support crew in Zwift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside it was 55 degrees when I started the ride at 11:47 AM, below my 60 degree threshold. It was supposed to rain but I don&#8217;t think it did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/out-and-back-again\/\">Zwiftinsider.com<\/a><\/strong> describes the route as &#8220;\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Out and Back Again\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is a route which is quite flat\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 until it isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t.
