First Time Zwifting The French Moule Ma Poule
Damp and dreary outside drove me into Zwift’s worlds. I waited until after the finish of stage of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya. By the time I decided biking outside wasn’t going to happen the events I rode in the past were too soon or past. After getting dressed I went to Zwift, looked at the routes in France and selected the Moule Ma Poule which I have not rode before. Before starting I went to ZwiftInsider.com to get an idea of the course. To keep ahead of my daily mileage goal I needed to ride at least 19.4 miles which is longer than 1 lap. After biking 1:10:37 the distance totaled 20.29 miles.
The course went up two climbs and two shorter bumps for a total of 935 feet. More than I planned on but I did it. The first one came at the beginning and repeated at 14.6 miles. I wasn’t alone on the course as you can see in the video. Sometimes I rode between groups and in groups. Some screenshots. The ones with the big time boxes for a KOM and then a sprint.
Since this was a new route for me Strava showed a bunch of medals: 4 gold and 4 silver.
