I tried another social ride in Zwift today, the Shimano Social Ride. The ride was classed “E” and followed the “Watopia Figure 8 Reverse Course”. Rather than distance the ride was time base for 60 minutes. I biked 12.88 miles in 59:59. The course went up some serious inclines of 12% but not long lasting. Again I rode alone except for the starting few seconds and when cyclists passed me. Ride description and my standing at the end.

Most of the ride my position held around 35 to 40 ahead of the last rider. Overall 746 people signed up with about 508 on the start line.

For the YouTube livestream I added an inset of me on the Blue Norcross AL bike pedaling away. I can’t record the music I listened to for copyright reasons but you can see me singing at times. The music was from several stations on SiriusXM.

Local weather at my home improved from yesterday’s rain with partly to mostly cloudy skies and the temperature in 49 to 52 degree range, below my outside biking threshold.

Again Strava recorded 4 personal records. I am surprised considering how slow I rode compared to the rest.
