Before starting today’s Zwift ride I watched the Elite Women’s Worlds Cyclocross race, followed by the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana and Etoile de Bessèges men’s road races. Maybe those inspired me to tackle the Watopia Three Little Sisters route. This was my second time riding the Three Little Sisters and I did better than the first time on December 26, 2022.

The route is 23.5 miles long with 1424 feet of climbing. As the ride progresses the climbs get higher. The first climb topped out at 1.14 miles from the start. It wasn’t a tall climb but it went up sharply for the Zwift KOM. The next 4.6 miles went downhill to the foot of the Titans Grove KOM. Climbing Titans Grove KOM covered 3.87 miles to 268 feet. This left the big climb of the route, Volcano KOM. I had 6.04 miles of downhill to recover for the Volcano KOM. I improved my PR for the Volcano KOM quite a lot. I left my pace partner behind on the 2.58 miles to the top at 224 feet. The descent was 5.08 miles to the finish. At 10.8 miles the bear fell from the tree again rolling on the ground but not hitting any Zwifters. The SportTracks route profile shows the climbs.

Strava PR’s: PR on Volcano KOM (12:50), PR on Hilly KOM Forward (4:08), PR on Rebel Route: Three Little Sisters (1:24:14). My previous PR on the Volcano KOM was 48 seconds faster than my previous best on November 27, 2021. Big improvement.
