Zwift Greatest London Flat, Not One Of Those Other Routes
Today’s Zwift ride moved to London on the Greatest London Flat, not to be confused with the Greater London Flat, the Greater London Loop, or the Greatest London Loop. I didn’t remember or know there were so many similar named routes until I checked ZwiftInsider.com. According to Zwift I previously rode the Greatest London Flat but SportTracks didn’t show any rides. I reviewed the previous “London” rides in SportTracks and changed the names on some previous rides until seeing the similar names on ZwiftInsider.com. Then I looked at the “London” rides in Strava, corrected the changes I made and found 2 other rides on the Greatest London Flat route. The other 2 are longer distances because I rode events that were timed rather than just the route distance.
I chose this route because it was relatively flat, 552 feet elevation gain according to the Zwift description, and not starting until 2:42 PM. There was some serious climbing though with 15% grades causing me to get out of the saddle and crawl up virtual road. The profile doesn’t show that gradient. My legs got a workout. Overall I got a Strava 3rd fastest time on Greatest London Flat (52:16).
