Fourth day in a row biking in Zwift Land. Maybe the weather will warm up enough for me to ride outside but the forecast doesn’t give much hope for several days. I edited the livestream video taking out some of the ride when I was alone. For those who want to watch the full length video it is at the bottom of the post.

My Blue Norcross AL bike is bearing the brunt of biking indoors on my Wahoo Snap smart trainer. The odometer shows 2,516 miles with maybe half of those miles on Zwift rides.

In search of a ride that I might stay with the group for more than a few seconds I joined the ZZRC Sub 2.0 Group D. The ride lasted 60 minutes for whatever distance and I biked 15.76 miles. Well I stayed with the group for maybe 2 minutes and then they were gone. 334 people registered for the start but I don’t know how many were actually on the ride. Supposedly everyone averaged 1.7 – 2.0 W/KG and there was a fence. Most of the ride I came in below the 1.7 mark but going up the climbs I was above 2.0. According to Golden Cheetah ride summary data my average power was 89 watts or 1.25 W/KG. Apparently I need to work harder. In the spring I stayed with the group and rode at the front many times, even crashing the fence. Either I am slower or the group is much better. Maybe some of each.

I’m making progress on my goal for Zwift miles. Beginning December I needed 258 miles to reach my goal and after today’s ride I am at 56.36 miles, 202 miles to go.

Only one personal record today according to Strava. 2nd fastest time on 10 Minute Effort (16:44).
