Two Big Climbs On Zwift’s Watopia Figure 8 Reverse
It’s been almost 2 years since my last ride on this route. Lead-in 1/10th mile, total distance 18.5 miles, 834 ft elevation gain. Combination of Hilly Roads and Flat Roads for a long double loop of the island. The route goes over the same climb in both directions as the SportTracks ride summary shows. That was where the climbing concentrated but there were a couple of short steep climbs. I saw 12% briefly in a spot other than the big climbs. I missed the first sprint with my attention elsewhere but did much better riding the same sprint in the opposite direction. I continued my streak of riding this week each day. Strava shows this PR on Figure 8 Reverse (1:08:27). SportTracks shows the March 8th ride was faster.
When I woke up this morning it was 30 degrees outside but warmed quickly into the 50’s. When I settled into getting ready to ride Zwift it hovered around 60 degrees. The next 3 days will be cold and colder.
Again the SportTracks route profile shows the two climbs are more pronounced than Strava.
