A perfect day to ride the Tour de Zwift. Stage 2 was live and I joined Group C for the 10 AM start. About 900 other riders were in the start pen as the countdown ended. The course was the London Loop, one of several with &#8220;Loop&#8221; in the name. Today we went up Box Hill which accounted for most of the 682 feet of climbing, though I was expecting 752 feet according to the Zwift companion app. I didn&#8217;t miss not riding those extra 70 feet up. The distance came in at 9.73 miles but the official length was 9.5 miles. I think the extra came from my pedaling after the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until we reached Box Hill I hovered around position 504 but once we started up I dropped to 590 or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strava says I recorded <strong>2nd fastest time<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/6528298136\/segments\/2917473747135650036\">Northumberland Ave Climb<\/a>\u00a0(51s). This is the first time I rode this course though I have been on portions of it before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s good that I started Zwift early because the update took several minutes. Zwift Launcher is now at version 1.1.1 which means the updates from this week may start showing up. One I am looking forward to is club events. Maybe a Texbiker Club?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Zwiftpower.com I finished 316 out 400 registered Zwifters for Group C. Group A had 3 riders, Group B 502 riders, and Group D 23 riders. A total of 928 registered at Zwiftpower.com in the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
