From the 70&#8217;s and wet yesterday to 42 and overcast with some wind. After chilling out on yesterday&#8217;s ride I switched to Zwift for today&#8217;s bike ride. This keeps my consecutive bike ride streak active at 20, each day of January. Stage 4 of The Tour de Zwift starts tomorrow so while wait for that I chose the SZR Recovery Ride. 60 minutes on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/rgv\/\">France Route Grand Vitesse<\/a><\/strong> (High Speed Road) started at 12 PM. The w\/kg was supposed to be 1.6 &#8211; 1.8 but I don&#8217;t think that lasted very long. At one point the ride leader, Jean Robert, said 400 flyers off the front out 673. I wasn&#8217;t one of the flyers though. It didn&#8217;t take long for most everyone to head off even though it looked like I was riding in the prescribed w\/kg range. At the finish no one crossed the line with me. I listened to 70&#8217;s Radio on Pandora while I rode. A nice beat to keep turning the pedals to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure what the ranking below means but it looks good. I rode in Group D but &#8220;A&#8221; appears. Interesting that Tom Boonenfanclub was just ahead of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"441\" data-attachment-id=\"58293\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2022\/01\/20\/zwift-szr-recovery-ride-frances-route-grand-vitesse-or-high-speed-road\/2022-01-20_13000429\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429.jpg?fit=2544%2C1401&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2544,1401\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"2022-01-20_13000429\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429.jpg?fit=600%2C330&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429.jpg?fit=800%2C441&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429-800x441.jpg?resize=800%2C441&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-58293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429.jpg?resize=800%2C441&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429.jpg?resize=600%2C330&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429.jpg?resize=640%2C352&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429.jpg?resize=1536%2C846&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429.jpg?resize=2048%2C1128&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2022-01-20_13000429.jpg?w=2400 2400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the fourth time riding this route.
