Tour de Zwift Stage 6 Race Richmond UCI Worlds
This course brings back memories. In 2015 my wife and I attended the UCI World races in Richmond. Racing today I saw the spot where we stood near the finish line when Peter Sagan won his first title. I didn’t come near his performance but I appreciate his effort more now. The race started at 11:13 AM for Group D and covered 10.3 miles. The course had flat sections but also some steep climbs of 10% to 20% but not long ones. I added another camera to the video showing me pedaling my Blue Norcross AL bike as I raced around in Zwift.
According to Zwift, 470 Zwifters registered for all of the groups with 192 in Group D. I finished 114th in 31:49 averaging 180 watts over the 10.3 mile course.
ZwiftPower.com showed results for 37 racers with accounts there. I took 25th place. My race data.
After the race while I was still sweaty I decided to take the Lynksey R300 outside for the PowerPod calibration out and back ride rather than do it on Sunday. The weather was chilly but I dressed for it. The leg warmers wanted to slide down my legs as I pedaled because I didn’t tuck them under my shorts like I usually do. Now I can ride on Sunday without bothering with the O&B ride. Sunday’s weather forecast says 77 degrees and partly cloudy.
