I decided to create a Zwift meetup and ride while the weather made up its mind. Looking at the available routes in the Zwift companion app I found the Casse-Pattes in France. I didn&#8217;t remember riding that route before and the distance and climbing seemed reasonable so I created the meetup, invited one of my followers (as necessary), and started at 12:40 PM. I wasn&#8217;t alone on the route with other Zwifters passing in both directions. I rode 15.0 miles, climbed 505 feet (including a Cat 4 climb) in 1:00:04. A couple of sprints and I think one other KOM besides the Cat 4 one on the route. I kept my watts and BPM reasonable since I am still recovering from cataract surgery. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to warm to the upper 60&#8217;s so I plan on riding outside. That will be the first ride outdoors this month. I need 300 miles to reach my goal for February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information about the Casse-Pattes route at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/casse-pattes\/\">ZwiftInsider.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday I didn&#8217;t ride Zwift because I drove to Bike Lane to pickup my new Cervelo Caledonia Rival AXS eTap bike. When I got it back home I spent the afternoon transferring parts from my Canyon Endurace bike. Later I posted the Canyon on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/houston.craigslist.org\/bik\/d\/kingwood-canyon-endurace-cf-slx\/7443093822.html\">Craigslist.org<\/a><\/strong>. I have a couple of people interested but no final sale yet. The Cervelo after I transferred everything. I plan on riding the Cervelo tomorrow. New Bike Day ride. The wheels on the Cervelo are not the factory wheelset. I bought a set of ICAN Cycling Alpha 50 carbon rims. Getting the Continental GatorHardshell 700x28C tires on them was a feat of great dimensions. I thought it might take an hour, ended up taking over 3 hours because of the very tight fit. I used every trick I knew. I&#8217;m not sure why they finally mounted. Must&#8217;ve been from the prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"58432\"
