Today I was leading our GGCC team through the virtual streets of Watopia on the Zwift riding platform, the “Sugar Cookie”. Thanks Damian M. for going in red and helping out today 👍🏻
As always we had some sprints and an optional mini-race at the end of the ride.

For the warm-up lap through the jungle we went at around 2,6W/kg, after the start on the flats 2,8W/kg and higher on the uphills. The biggest challenge was the last long climb to keep the group together. I went at a power around 3,2-3,4 W/kg. Luckily the bypass back to the jungle was long enough to bring the group back together.

The new cost road is really a lot of fun, not even because all the sprints but also because of the flats and the bumps. Our sprinters really had something to do. On the short coast road doing four hard sprints is quite challenging. Let’s check the result lists:

Congrats to our four sprinters for going in green and most and foremost to Heather for going in green for the ladies – good job 👍🏻

After the coast road was done we went towards the climb to come back to the jungle via the bypass. Luckily we could go quite at a good pace for keeping most of the riders with us. Because of the longer bypass road towards our optional mini-race start we could bring the group close together. Specially here I have to thank Damian for helping keeping the group together.

At the green jungle screen I gave the GO to start mini-race, roughly 6,5km long. Directly from the start quite a group went hard right from the gun. Some guys tried even harder for a break away.
Let’s check out the podium:

Congrets to Dylan J. 🥇, R. Bishop 🥈 and N. Conelisse 🥉 for the podium – good job 👍🏻

Thanks to all rider for coming and riding with us today.
