Zwifting for World Bicycle Relief During A Social Ride
With the Houston Texans playing at noon today I looked for a ride that began Saturday morning and found the “Zwift 3R Ride on for WBR Social Ride”. I knew what WBR stood for (World Bicycle Relief) and wanted to ride to support them. The leader rode 220km today before our ride as he raised money for WBR. During the ride the leader gave facts about WBR, some I knew and other I did not.
The ride began at 10:00 AM and lasted 60 minutes. In that time I biked 19.71 miles at an average speed of 19.6 mph. The ride leader wanted everyone to ride at 2.0 w/kg but that never happened and the 74 riders spread out over the course with me towards the back.
Fortunately the ride was mostly flat with one short climb of 6% or so. It didn’t take too long after the start for me to heat up enough and be glad I wasn’t outside in the 52 degree overcast weather. Sunday might warm enough to bike outdoors after church.
I set 3 personal records in Strava from among a long list of segments bikers created. Zwift reported a new person record for Fuego Flats of 56:16.
