I waited for the last day to ride stage 3 of the Tour de Zwift (not counting the make up days). I signed into the ride start pin and warmed up. As I pedaled the number increased settling at 1024 for Group B. Overall there were over 22,000 online when I opened the companion app. Group B rode the Douce France route 1 lap. This was the 3rd time I rode this route. The previous 2 times were in 2022. I rode 15.13 miles and climbed 436 feet. The route consists of rolling hills with one KOM at Aquedec starting around 10km. I rode with a bunch until we came to some rolling hills which thinned the group. After that I hung around position 919 to 924 catching several 3 or 4 person groups to ride with. After the KOM descent the road flattened to the finish.

Today’s ride was in the middle of the previous 2 rides performance wise.

Since this was event ZwiftPower.com published the results for those with a profile. I was 543 out of 557 in Group B. Group A had 7, Group C 246, and Group D 34.
