When I got up this morning the wind was blowing strong and it was 31 degrees. By the time I left for church it went up a couple of degrees. By the time I got back from church it was 37 degrees. This was way below my 60 degree threshold. Time to look for an event in Zwift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the YouTube video title says the Watopia Beach Island Loop with the WMZ cycling group fit the time and distance. The event was for 60 minutes with each lap 8 miles long with about 144 feet of climbing per lap. As a recovery ride I thought most riders would be holding close to the 1.5 to 2.0 w\/kg group D pace. I kept with the group for awhile but with no fence the flyers went off the front. I rode with a couple of others off and on. sometimes I would ride ahead on the hills and they would catch and pass on the downhills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a good Zwift start for 2022.
