The weather changed big time during the night. From the 70’s and wet yesterday to 42 and overcast with some wind. After chilling out on yesterday’s ride I switched to Zwift for today’s bike ride. This keeps my consecutive bike ride streak active at 20, each day of January. Stage 4 of The Tour de Zwift starts tomorrow so while wait for that I chose the SZR Recovery Ride. 60 minutes on the France Route Grand Vitesse (High Speed Road) started at 12 PM. The w/kg was supposed to be 1.6 – 1.8 but I don’t think that lasted very long. At one point the ride leader, Jean Robert, said 400 flyers off the front out 673. I wasn’t one of the flyers though. It didn’t take long for most everyone to head off even though it looked like I was riding in the prescribed w/kg range. At the finish no one crossed the line with me. I listened to 70’s Radio on Pandora while I rode. A nice beat to keep turning the pedals to.

I’m not sure what the ranking below means but it looks good. I rode in Group D but “A” appears. Interesting that Tom Boonenfanclub was just ahead of me.

This was the fourth time riding this route. A comparison of them.

The route profile gives the impression there wasn’t much climbing but 436 feet over 18.1 miles seems like a lot to my legs. No steep 10% climbs, most were 4 to 5%.
