Zwift Watopia Going Coastal Extended
I was concerned about riding Zwift today. During the night my ISP did a maintenance update and my internet service wasn’t working correctly. I called support and described my problem. The rep said there were problem areas and checked with the network engineers. He said he would call back with more information. About 15 minutes later he called back and asked if the problem was solved. About 5 minutes before he called the internet was back with no problems. Relived I planned today’s Zwift ride.
Checking stage 5 of the Tour of Watopia there was one route left that I had not rode, Going Coastal. The length was 10.2 miles with 208 feet of climbing. I liked the small amount of climbing but I wanted to ride at least 21 miles for a total of 100 miles for the week. I decided to ride Going Coastal and reverse the ride after finishing the route. I wondered how much climbing there would be on the reverse. I didn’t think it would be as much as my previous rides this week. When I reached the turn around point I pressed the reverse arrow on the companion app but nothing happened. Using the mouse I click the program screen on my monitor and that reverse arrow worked quickly. On the way back I think I made a wrong turn at Epic KOM choosing Fuego Flats instead. I think the Epic KOM would have returned me to where I started. No problem though because I was able to set a Zwift PR for the last 90 days on Fuego Flats beating my previous time by about 2 minutes.
