Today&#8217;s route for group B: Makuri Islands Turf N Surf route. 15.3 miles and 649 feet of climbing. I rode this route once before on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/30378550\">December 12th, 2022<\/a><\/strong>. Two climbs after a downhill. first one starts around 9 miles and the taller one starts around 13.5 miles. The last half mile is mostly flat. Weather outside: 27 degrees, cloudy, wind N 16 mph gusts 26 mph. No way I would ride outdoors today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until the climbs I stayed with a small group. The climbs separated me from others as I expected. Today&#8217;s ride was faster than my previous one on this route. Strava confirmed that: <strong>PR<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/10565195889\/segments\/3182066244278890070\">Turf N Surf<\/a>\u00a0(51:14).
