Today I was leading our GGCC team through the virtual streets of Watopia on the new “Coast Crusher” course on the Zwift riding platform. In total it was a hard training ride with an optional mini-race at the end of the ride.
We had Damian M. as the red beacon – thank mate, good job 👍🏻

Today we use one of the new courses along the south cost. It. is a nice out and back route with quite a long lead-in along the gravel roads of the jungle.
As always we started at a lower pace on the gravel downhill towards the start of the new cost route. After the start banner we went around 2,8 W/kg and around 3,2-3,4 W/kg on the bumps. For the downhills we went a little lower again just to relax.

Along the ride we had quite some sprints to do. On some sprints the guys went as hard as possible, on some others not that much. I general it was nice to see hpw our sprinters tried their best.
Let’s check out the sprint results:

Good job sprinters and Ana for the ladies for going in green 🏆

The last three sprints were included in our optional mini-race. From the second sprint banner after the turnaround I gave the GO for our racers. And I can tell you they went like a rocket. At the end they were around 35sec in front of the peloton, and we were also pushing quite a good power.
Let’s check the results of our mini-race:

Congrats to J. Downes 🥇, B. Wu 🥈 and R. Bishop 🥉 for the podium.

Thanks to all for coming and riding with us today.

Merry Christmas to you all 🎄
