The Watopia Sugar Cookie route danced around in my mind all morning and I thought that would be the ride today. Opening the Zwift companion app I scrolled through the upcoming events and one was on Watopia The Big Ring. Longer than Sugar Cookie by about 6 miles with just a little more elevation gain I opted for The Big Ring. My previous two rides on The Big Ring were under two hours long, a good length for today. I rolled away at 1:01 PM riding the Specialized Aethos S-Works bike with Zipp 808 wheels. The elevation gain had one big lump to get over with the rest mostly rolling hills. The gradient didn’t get above 6% as far as I can remember. I could’ve used a little 9% climb to get out of the saddle and give my sit bones relief though. The one big climb topped out at 325 feet. One Strava top result: 2nd fastest time on Going Coastal (33:12). Today was the fastest overall time.
