I checked the upcoming events but didn&#8217;t find one that looked interesting. So I created a meetup on the Makuri Islands Flatland Loop. A loop was 8.6 miles according to ZwiftInsider.com but I think Zwift shortened that by a couple of tenths. Climbing was modest at 325 feet per loop, about the amount this flatlander can handle. I listened to the Pandora Contemporary Christian Radio station while I rode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new route for me, I rode 18.12 miles, a little more than 2 laps, with about 325 feet of climbing per lap. The climbing begins around 5 km followed by a downhill onto the flat section. Introduced in Zwift\u2019s May 2021 Yumezi launch, Flatland Loop contains a few more lumps and bumps than the name implies \u2013 in fact, it\u2019s not even the flattest route on the Yumezi map (that distinction goes to Two Village Loop)! But it does\u00a0manage to skip the KOMs. (from <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/flatland-loop\/\">ZwiftInsider.com<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zwiftinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/flatland-loop.png?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Two Strava results: <strong>PR<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/8248902678\/segments\/3038200072089477652\">Flatland Loop<\/a>\u00a0(26:58) and <strong>2nd fastest time<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/8248902678\/segments\/3038200072088504852\">Flatland Loop<\/a>\u00a0(27:56).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"strava-embed-placeholder\" data-embed-type=\"activity\" data-embed-id=\"8248902678\"><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/strava-embeds.com\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I opened the Zwift companion app 23,775 Zwifters were online.
