Watopia Sand and Sequoias, Not 56 Degrees
I looked for a route in Zwift called Fuego Flats but couldn’t find it so I chose the Watopia Sand and Sequoias Route. Starting at 11:38AM the route said 12.5 miles and 575 ft of climbing. I ended up riding 12.75 miles with 571 feet of climbing in 43:20. I wasn’t alone with 15,434 other Zwifters online. Not sure if they were on the same course, in Watopia, or all of Zwift.
Outside the weather was sunny but only 56 degrees. Since that is below my threshold of 60 I stayed inside to ride in Zwift.
The route started out flat but at 6.32 miles the hills began going mostly up until 10.61 miles. From there to the finish it was downhill with a few undulations. The climbs were 4% to 6% except for a couple of 8% and 9% short ones. I rode with various groups until the hills began where I was along except for passing. This was not an event, just me biking the course. The profile is below the Strava map. I earned 8 bronze medals over the ride. As far as I know this is the first time I rode this specific course though I have bike pieces of it.
