Today that happened and the week reviewed by Casey Kasem was 12-17-1977. I checked ZwiftInsider.com to find a route to ride. I needed to ride at least 16 miles to reach 100 for the week so far. Makuri Islands has routes I haven&#8217;t rode but most are less than the 16 miles. To fix that I created a meetup on the Island Hopper route setting the distance to 23.7 miles, a little over two laps. This meant some climbing. The meetup started at 11:10 AM with about 20,000 Zwifters online but not in my meetup. When I finished I covered 23.71 miles and climbed 876 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s me taking a drink in the YouTube video thumbnail above. The Specialized S-Works bike with DuraAce wheels is my usual bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Island Hopper is 11.1 miles plus a .1 mile lead in and 422 feet of climbing per lap. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/island-hopper\/\">ZwiftInsider.com<\/a><\/strong> describes the route &#8220;Looking for the full Urukazi tour? The Island Hopper covers all Urukazi roads (except for the connector roads to Neokyo and Yumezi). This route takes you on <em>two <\/em>loops of the Urukazi island complex. Your first loop takes the innermost roads on each of the islands, while the second loop takes the outermost roads.&#8221; I rode on every road surface Zwift offers but I didn&#8217;t change bikes. I sprinted several times with good results for me as the Strava segments show below. I was passed by several large groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-layout-grid column1-desktop-grid__span-6 column1-desktop-grid__row-1 column2-desktop-grid__span-6
