Zwift Watopia Beach Island Loop
No outside bike ride today. When I got up this morning the wind was blowing strong and it was 31 degrees. By the time I left for church it went up a couple of degrees. By the time I got back from church it was 37 degrees. This was way below my 60 degree threshold. Time to look for an event in Zwift.
As the YouTube video title says the Watopia Beach Island Loop with the WMZ cycling group fit the time and distance. The event was for 60 minutes with each lap 8 miles long with about 144 feet of climbing per lap. As a recovery ride I thought most riders would be holding close to the 1.5 to 2.0 w/kg group D pace. I kept with the group for awhile but with no fence the flyers went off the front. I rode with a couple of others off and on. sometimes I would ride ahead on the hills and they would catch and pass on the downhills.
This was a good Zwift start for 2022. Three personal records in Strava. PR on Beach Island Loop (24:10), PR on Dirty Sorpresa Climb (Zwift Insider verified) (1:45), and 2nd fastest time on Dirty Sorpresa Climb (Zwift Insider verified) (2:06).
