At first I was going to ride a route in Watopia but I realized the Tour de Zwift was happening. In the companion app I found the next time for stage 2 and signed up starting at 1 PM. I chose Group B and the route was 3 laps of Scotland&#8217;s Rolling Highlands plus the lead-in. The 19.9 mile distance was longer than yesterday&#8217;s ride as was the 855 feet of elevation gain. I&#8217;m working to regain my form after not riding since December 18th, restarting this week. I missed stage 1 so I will try to make that up later. Each lap had a climb of 8 to 9%. The first 2 laps I rode up in the saddle but lap 3 I got out of the saddle. My legs were feeling all of the climbing. My overall average speed was 17.5 mph with a max of 32.2 mph (downhill). I did last too long with the front of the group but had other Zwifters around. According to ZwiftPower.com I was 552 out of 565 Zwifters with results there. Over at Strava I recorded <strong>PR<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10533261132\/segments\/3180258347394495146\">Rolling
