4 Sprints Plus 1 KOM, Stage 4 Tour of Makuri Islands
Today I rode stage 4 of the Tour of Makuri Islands on the Neokyo All-Nighter route. Yesterday’s stage had 3 KOM’s and today there 4 sprints and 1 KOM over the 15.1 miles. I didn’t set any personal records but compared to my only previous ride on the course on December 13th, 2021, I was faster. The December ride was a longer distance and time than today. The free ride format means there are other Zwifters on the course but not in an event. I saw the nearby Zwifters count a little less than 5,000.
Except for the KOM I tried to keep my speed in the 18 to 20 mph range and mostly succeeded. In the sprints I came in around the last 25% of the Zwifters which isn’t too bad for me.
From ZwiftInsider.com, “Introduced in Zwift’s November 2021 update, Neokyo All-Nighter is the longest “Neokyo-only” route upon its release. At nearly 25km in length, this route covers nearly every bit of road in Neokyo, including 4 sprint segments and the Rooftop KOM.” Route basics: Length: 24.3 km (15.1 miles), Elevation: 167 m (548‘). Lead-In: .3 km (0.2 miles).
