The other day in an email from ZwiftInsider.com the route information for the new Watopia Sugar Cookie route got my attention. Today was a good time for my first ride on the Sugar Cookie. The distance, 24.2 miles, was not too long and the climbing , 845 feet, was doable for this flatlander. I didn&#8217;t know that about half the climbing was going to be on the Epic KOM with 9% and 10% elevation. Fortunately the route took the Epic KOM Bypass and relaxed the climbing to mostly downhill to flat to the finish at 24.2 miles. I was out of the saddle climbing the Epic KOM when the 9% and 10% grades came. Strava lists the Epic KOM as a Cat 4 climb. Strava showed a <strong>PR<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10195331733\/segments\/3158138792433019582\">Woodland Sprint<\/a>\u00a0(45s). Zwift was more generous with PR on the Acropolis Sprint in addition to Strava. I got the Zwift Achievement Award completing the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
