After watching 5 races on GCN+ before starting today’s Zwift Meetup at 1:05 PM I was ready for some serious Zwifting.

The Wahoo Kickr Snap smart trainer replicated the climbs better than yesterday. So much that from about 14 miles to 14.4 miles the 10%+ climbs slowed me to a crawl and I stood up pedaling out of the saddle. There were many other climbs but this segment was the hardest. The problem today was OBS Studio software ending the live stream at the 34 minute point when it crashed. All this took place on the Yorkshire Royal Pump Room 8 route. No scheduled events looked interesting so I created a meetup. I chose the offered 17.8 distance. I checked my SportTracks log and found I rode part of this route on February 2nd, 2021. The climbing today over the 17.86 miles was 1,617 feet, about 300 feet more than last year.

To help ride the miles and climbs I listened to SirusXM 70’s on 7 playing the American Top 40’s from 2/24/1973.

This was a popular route with other Zwifters passing me and me passing some on the climbs. No large groups like yesterday though.

Yorkshire route scenery was different from Makuri Islands and Watopia. The number of routes is fewer though.

Lots of top results in Strava.
