I hoped it would get to 60 degrees but around 10:30 it was just above 50. Not wanting to take a chance it would get to 60 I created a Zwift Meetup starting at 11:25 AM. The Watopia Flat Route looked good and I set the distance to 16 miles. According to ZwiftInsider.com a .3 mile lead-in before made the first lap 7 miles. The route basics from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/flat-route\/\">ZwiftInsider.com<\/a><\/strong>, &#8220;The Watopia \u201cFlat Route\u201d was added when Watopia\u2019s Ocean Boulevard came online in late December 2015. It includes the undersea tunnel and marina sections, plus the back half of the original Hilly Route.&#8221; Today&#8217;s ride evened up the number of times I rode at 2 times on the Flat Route and 2 times on the Flat Route Reverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-29-2022-All-Rides-Watopia-Flat-Route.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"268\" data-attachment-id=\"58367\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/1-29-2022-all-rides-watopia-flat-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-29-2022-All-Rides-Watopia-Flat-Route.png?fit=1776%2C397&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1776,397\" 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=\"1-29-2022 All Rides Watopia Flat Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;1-29-2022 All Rides Watopia Flat Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;1-29-2022 All Rides Watopia Flat Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-29-2022-All-Rides-Watopia-Flat-Route.png?fit=600%2C134&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-29-2022-All-Rides-Watopia-Flat-Route.png?fit=800%2C179&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-29-2022-All-Rides-Watopia-Flat-Route.png?resize=1200%2C268&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1-29-2022 All Rides Watopia Flat Route\" class=\"wp-image-58367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-29-2022-All-Rides-Watopia-Flat-Route.png?w=1776&amp;ssl=1 1776w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-29-2022-All-Rides-Watopia-Flat-Route.png?resize=600%2C134&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-29-2022-All-Rides-Watopia-Flat-Route.png?resize=800%2C179&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-29-2022-All-Rides-Watopia-Flat-Route.png?resize=640%2C143&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-29-2022-All-Rides-Watopia-Flat-Route.png?resize=1536%2C343&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>1-29-2022 All Rides Watopia Flat Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t riding a fast pace but compared to the other rides I was closer than I expected.
