Epic KOM Saved For Last 7 Miles: Zwift Watopia Sugar Cookie
This will be my fourth ride on Watopia’ Sugar Cookie route. Not sure where the Sugar Cookie name comes from. The last 7 miles are not that sweet. The previous rides were 24.3 miles with 846 feet of climbing. the ride begins with a descent from 328 feet to 49 feet. From there rolling hills for 14.4 miles put me at the foot of the big climb on the route. The climb goes up Epic KOM almost 300 feet in 1.25 miles. A small descent leads to the final climb of 40 feet over .75 of a mile. The last 3.25 miles is downhill except for a small kickup near the finish. The last ride took 1:30:38. I improved that time and garnered these Strava top results: PR on Epic KOM – Start to Bypass Intersection (9:43), PR on Sugar Cookie (1:16:20), 2nd fastest time on Epic KOM Bypass – Westbound (4:41), and 3rd fastest time on Jungle Descent (5:05). There were four sprints but I didn’t improve my PR on any of them.
