This is my first ride after Wednesday’s cataract surgery. In the follow up visit I asked the doctor how soon I could ride Zwift. He said as long as I didn’t stand up pedaling on the bike 2 to 3 days. I chose the Watopia Volcano Flat route because it was flat and less than 10 miles. Creating a meetup event I started at 12 PM riding easy trying to keep my BPM below 100 and the watts around 50 to 60. The ride covered 8.34 miles with 164 feet of climbing spread out over the course. At my easy pace the ride took 42:35. Not wanting to bore anyone I didn’t livestream the ride but created a slide show of the screenshots during the ride.

Music I listened to while riding: SiriusXM 70’s on 7 America’s Top 40 from 1-30-1971.

The only previous ride on this route was 12/31/2020. It was about the same distance but faster. My note says the 12/31/2020 ride was the 2nd Zwift ride that day.

Cold weather arrived last Thursday making Zwift the only choice for today’s ride with the temperature in the upper 40’s when I started today. Tomorrow I plan on riding stage 8 Group C in the Tour de Zwift to complete the TdZ all 8 stages.
