Time to activate Zwift for the cold weather today. It was 55 degrees outside which is below my 60 degree threshold. I put the road ride on hold today. I thought I would have access to the new Zwift routes but I must not be on the necessary level. Scrolling through the Watopia routes some had a green check mark and some didn’t. I thought the ones not checked meant I haven’t rode them but that may be wrong. I chose the Figure 8 Reverse because it didn’t have a check mark, the climbing was not too much at 833 feet, and the distance was 18.5 miles. I wanted to get used to the changes in Zwift since my last ride in March.

According to Zwiftinsider.com the Figure 8 Reverse route, “Watopia’s “Figure 8” route covers the entire hilly and flat routes in both directions. If you’re looking for a ride around an hour long that includes some short climbs and a nice mix of flats and rollers, this is a solid choice. The reverse Figure 8 route is popular with racers since it doesn’t start with a tough climb out of the box, and has a nice mix of punchy climbs, flats, and rollers to keep the race interesting by allowing for strategic attacks from a variety of riders.”
