Fog and mist when I got up this morning. I knew I wouldn’t ride early because I volunteered to work an estate sale from 9 to 11. While I was working I got a text message that the electricity was off at my home. Maybe it would be fixed by the time I got back home. In the meantime rain moved in most likely dooming road biking today. I got home around 11:30 and the electricity was still off. Zwifting was not possible. Rather than sit around waiting for the electricity to come back on I ran some errands. When I returned home I pressed the garage door opener button and the door went up. Electricity was back on.

It took awhile to get my computer up and running for some reason. Windows 10 wanted to make some changes. I got the computer fixed. Then I checked the Zwift Companion app to see if there were any interesting events. I didn’t see any so I decided to create a meetup with me and a random person who follows me. I went to the worlds and chose Makuri Islands. Suki’s Playground caught my attention because the previous attempt on the route was riddled with technical problems. Rather than distance I set the meetup for 45 minutes starting at 2:30 PM. It’s been some time since I created a meetup but it went well. As I waited to start another person moved beside me but it wasn’t the person I invited. No problem.

Suki’s Playground covers 11.5 miles with no lead-in. Each lap climbs 492 feet. ZwiftInsider.com has more details. With 45 minutes I rode 13.29 miles and climbed 518 feet. Some of the climbs were steep slowing me to single digit speeds but I still passed a few riders and some passed me. My legs felt good. Yesterday I aired up the tires on my Blue Norcross AL bike that I use with my Wahoo Kickr Snap trainer. Not sure if that impacted my ride. I also aired up the tires on my other bikes.

I recorded a personal record in Strava, PR on Farmland Flats CW (7:26). No technical problems on the ride and livestream today.
