But then it was Zwift time. I searched the upcoming events but none were the time, distance or w\/kg I wanted to ride. So, I created a meetup starting at 1:10 PM using the <em>Watopia Dust In The Wind<\/em> route but only 20 miles of the 32.4 mile total. I went climbing twice and the downhills didn&#8217;t compensate for the effort I used getting up them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/dust-in-the-wind\/\">ZwiftInsider.com<\/a><\/strong> describes the full route: One of five routes rolled out with <a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/titans-grove-released\/\">Zwift\u2019s Titans Grove expansion<\/a>, \u201cDust In the Wind\u201d covers Titans Grove <em>twice<\/em>, as well as Fuego Flats, part of Ocean Boulevard, and a Mayan Jungle out and back. Along the way you\u2019ll encounter a fair amount of virtual dirt\/gravel road, so you might consider swapping to a <a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/updated-mtb\/\">mountain bike<\/a>\u00a0so you can move to the front of the pack and make everyone else eat your dust!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t switch to a mountain bike because I didn&#8217;t think of it. I rode Dust In The Wind 2 times before, 1 for the full route and the other less than half of the miles.<\/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\/10\/10-19-2022-Previous-Rides-Zwift-Watopia-Dust-In-The-Wind-Route.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"245\" data-attachment-id=\"60406\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/10-19-2022-previous-rides-zwift-watopia-dust-in-the-wind-route\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10-19-2022-Previous-Rides-Zwift-Watopia-Dust-In-The-Wind-Route.jpg?fit=1839%2C376&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1839,376\" 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=\"10-19-2022 All Rides Zwift Watopia Dust In The Wind Route\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;10-19-2022 Previous Rides Zwift Watopia Dust In The Wind Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;10-19-2022 Previous Rides Zwift Watopia Dust In The Wind Route&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10-19-2022-Previous-Rides-Zwift-Watopia-Dust-In-The-Wind-Route.jpg?fit=600%2C123&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10-19-2022-Previous-Rides-Zwift-Watopia-Dust-In-The-Wind-Route.jpg?fit=800%2C164&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10-19-2022-Previous-Rides-Zwift-Watopia-Dust-In-The-Wind-Route.jpg?resize=1200%2C245&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"10-19-2022 Previous Rides Zwift Watopia Dust In The Wind Route\" class=\"wp-image-60406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10-19-2022-Previous-Rides-Zwift-Watopia-Dust-In-The-Wind-Route.jpg?w=1839&amp;ssl=1 1839w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10-19-2022-Previous-Rides-Zwift-Watopia-Dust-In-The-Wind-Route.jpg?resize=600%2C123&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10-19-2022-Previous-Rides-Zwift-Watopia-Dust-In-The-Wind-Route.jpg?resize=800%2C164&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10-19-2022-Previous-Rides-Zwift-Watopia-Dust-In-The-Wind-Route.jpg?resize=640%2C131&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/10-19-2022-Previous-Rides-Zwift-Watopia-Dust-In-The-Wind-Route.jpg?resize=1536%2C314&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>10-19-2022 Previous Rides Zwift Watopia Dust In The Wind Route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason I rode Zwift today was because when I got up at 6:30 it was 39 degrees and it wasn&#8217;t above 60 after i finished my housework around 12:30.
