It was 45 degrees outside when I started Zwifting. I rode inside on Zwift with the February update. Starting at 12:15 PM riding in the meetup I created I set out on the newly added Electric Loop in the Makuri Islands world. Checking the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/electric-loop\/\">ZwiftInsider.com<\/a><\/strong> website after finishing the ride I found this description, &#8220;Released in <a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/update-1-22-1-100427\/\">Zwift\u2019s February 2022 update<\/a>, Electric Loop is a flat, short circuit similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/twilight-harbor\/\">Twilight Harbor<\/a>, but in the opposite direction.&#8221; I set the distance for the meetup at 12.4 miles thinking that was 2 laps but was actually longer than that. The route basics: <strong>Length: <\/strong>8.9 km (5.5 miles), <strong>Elevation: <\/strong>29 m (95\u2018), <strong>Lead-In: <\/strong>0 km ( miles). For 2 laps I should&#8217;ve rode 11 miles. If I had checked before the ride I would&#8217;ve made the distance 16.5 miles. Shame on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I rode easy since I&#8217;m still recovering from eye surgery on Monday. I figured the flat route and easy pace would be good. I don&#8217;t have my new prescription glasses yet raking the computer monitor a little blurry even though it is 32&#8243;. On the companion app I could see some dots and the route but not too much detail. I was able to make out some details on the route profile in the upper left corner of the Zwift screen. I didn&#8217;t try using the reader glasses I got for close seeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not too many Zwifters on this route during my ride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RWGPS&#8217;s ride map shows the little climbs better than Strava below. With the new route I got 4 top results in Strava: <strong>PR<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/6702666364\/segments\/2929831370945144606\">Electric
