Back on December 22, 2022, I rode this course for an hour in a group ride. Portions of the course show up in other routes so I had some previous segment data to compete against. There are 4 segments in Strava and I got a medal on two of them. The event description said the distance would be 14.2 miles with 597 feet of climbing. I climbed 604 feet, not enough to gripe about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Leaving the start area there was a .2 mile lead-in to the lap start. Two sprints awaited on each lap. For 1.2 miles the road went up and down with the serious climb reaching 194 feet at 2.16 miles followed by a nice descent to 3.3 miles. A short false flat of .2 of a mile interrupted the descent which resumed bottoming out at 4.2 miles. The next climb went from 9 feet to 49 feet topping out at 4.77 miles. A short downhill took me to the valley and back to the lap start in 2.33 miles. Then it was rinse and repeat to the end of the stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;nearby&#8221; Zwifters for the stage showed 1023 or 1024. I got as low as 799 and as high as 844 during the stage. From ZwiftPower.com I was 516 out of 587. Group A showed 843, Group C 257, and Group D 33.<\/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\/2023\/01\/1-30-2023-ZwiftPower-Results-Group-B-TdZ-Stage-7.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"942\" data-attachment-id=\"61334\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2023\/01\/30\/601-feet-climbing-tour-de-zwift-stage-7-makuri-islands-island-outskirts\/1-30-2023-zwiftpower-results-group-b-tdz-stage-7\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-30-2023-ZwiftPower-Results-Group-B-TdZ-Stage-7.png?fit=1520%2C1193&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1520,1193\" 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=\"1-30-2023-ZwiftPower-Results-Group-B-TdZ-Stage-7\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-30-2023-ZwiftPower-Results-Group-B-TdZ-Stage-7.png?fit=573%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-30-2023-ZwiftPower-Results-Group-B-TdZ-Stage-7.png?fit=764%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-30-2023-ZwiftPower-Results-Group-B-TdZ-Stage-7.png?resize=1200%2C942&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1-30-2023 ZwiftPower.com partial results Group B Tour de Zwift Stage 7\" class=\"wp-image-61334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-30-2023-ZwiftPower-Results-Group-B-TdZ-Stage-7.png?w=1520&amp;ssl=1 1520w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-30-2023-ZwiftPower-Results-Group-B-TdZ-Stage-7.png?resize=573%2C450&amp;ssl=1 573w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-30-2023-ZwiftPower-Results-Group-B-TdZ-Stage-7.png?resize=764%2C600&amp;ssl=1 764w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-30-2023-ZwiftPower-Results-Group-B-TdZ-Stage-7.png?resize=612%2C480&amp;ssl=1 612w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I rode each stage of the 2023 Tour de Zwift.
