Wednesday’s bike ride was in the virtual Zwift world of Neokyo. I looked at the upcoming events and the ones around the time I wanted to start were on routes I rode several times before. So, I created a Zwift meetup ride starting at 12:45 PM on the Makuri Islands Kappa Quest Reverse route. This was the first time on this route. I looked the route up on ZwiftInsider.com to see what the route looked like. The information there I think is for the Kappa Quest and the Reverse version. The distance and lead-in on ZwiftInsider.com did not match what I rode, 6.32 miles and 509 feet of climbing. According to ZwiftInsider.com I should’ve rode 8.8 miles plus a 3.2 mile lead-in. The Zwift companion app showed the distance at 6.3 miles but no information on how much climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn’t alone on the route with other Zwifters passing but mostly going the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climbing begins not too far from the start. A few 10% places but usually in the single digits. I’m not sure if a gravel bike would’ve done better. I was on a road bike. I saw a few riders on MTB’s. The dust wasn’t too bad compared to some courses I rode in Zwift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the start the temperature outside was in the mid 50’s. It’s January and I expect cool weather. The next 2 days (Thursday and Friday) should be in the low 70’s and I will ride outside. I need road miles to reach my goal for the month. Saturday another front arrives and i will be back to Zwift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
