I waited to start today’s bike as I caught up on all of the races on GCN+. I decided to ride Zwift instead of outside and used the RoadCaptain Builder program to create a route in the Makuri Islands. I loaded the RoadCaptain Runner program started Zwift. After connecting everything I went to the Makuri Islands and chose the Chain Chomper route like RoadCaptain Runner instructed. This route was different from the Makuri Islands route I built yesterday. I thought a new route might fare better than yesterday when RoadCaptain Runner left at 13.8km.

The ride started as planned and I rode the route watching RoadCaptain Runner as the upcoming sections moved by. At 9.8km when I turned onto Urukazi RoadCaptain runner stopped showing upcoming actions and told me to keep pedaling back to the start. I kept pedaling for several km and then I closed the RoadCaptain window and opened the Zwift Companion app on my phone. For a minute or so it did not open to the game but when it did the map was small and my triangle didn’t show on the map. The reason I opened the app was to be able to make turns when intersections came up. After that the ride followed wild card turns. Some of them I took screenshots to record the names. I missed some because the turn info left before I could take the screenshot. The video has all of the turns I made. To be fair, MakurI islands is labeled Beta in the RoadCaptain Builder program.

This is the map of the actual ride from SportTracks and the fit file.

The ride profile above shows one big climb and then some smaller ones when I started taking turns at intersections.

Now that I was making turns I decided to ride the 29.5km (18.43 miles) and the 705 ft. of climbing turned out to be close to the 226.1m meters from RoadCaptain.

This ride ended the week and I was on the bike each day, 4 road rides and 3 Zwift rides. I am ahead of the pace to reach my 300 road miles goal for the month with 143 or 48%. this week was the most miles since the week beginning January 2nd this year.
