An approaching cool front with rain meant today’s bike ride would inside on Zwift. I looked for upcoming events and selected the Neokyo Badge Run Stage 3. Stage 3 was a short route on the Railways and Rooftops covering 5.36 miles and 305 feet of climbing. The event started at 12:00 PM just as the front arrived blinking the electricity numerous times. I wondered if I would start or finish the ride. I think the electricity interruptions affected my Wahoo Kickr Snap because the power wasn’t reflecting the climbs. Or maybe my legs were stronger than I thought? With the short ride I added the Watopia Volcano Circuit route going 3.43 miles with an easy 89 feet of climbing. This wasn’t an event but a route I had not done before.

No many miles in Zwift but I closed the gap on my goal to 69 miles. Still a few days to reach it. My goal is 800 miles for the year.

ZwiftInsider.com description for Railways and Rooftops, “Introduced in Zwift’s November 2021 update, Railways and Rooftops is almost the pitchiest route in Neokyo, climbing 70 meters over its 6.2km length. Along the way it takes you over the Railway Sprint then up the backside of the Rooftop KOM which (strangely) is not currently a timed segment.”

And for Watopia Volcano Circuit, “Watopia’s “Volcano Circuit” route takes you around and through the volcanic island in a clockwise direction. To get to the circuit you must first ride ~2.6km from the spawn point, traveling through a glass bridge to arrive at the volcano. Once you arrive you will continue to be routed around the 4km circuit. A lap counter visible just after the circuit banner indicates the number of laps you have completed.”

Earlier this morning I learned I lost the local legend in Strava on the Huffman to Eastgate segment to Sherm Everett. Each of us rode the segment 1 time in the last 90 days. I need to try to get another ride during December.
