Today I was leading our GGCC team through the virtual streets of Makuri Islands on the “Twilight Harbor” on the Zwift riding platform. In total it was a six lap training ride with an optional mini-race at the end, the whole last lap. Thanks to all riders for staying together and coming back quickly after every sprint – good job 👍🏻
Thanks Roger for helping out today 👍🏻

We started at a little lower pace just for warming up. But from the first sprint on, where our sprinters could show their legs for the first time, we raised the pace up a notch. In total our sprinters got two chances each lap for going full gas. In total we had eight sprints, because in the 5’th lap we just prepared for our optional mini-race.
So let’s check out the sprint results from lap 2, 3 and 4:
The Tower Sprint:

The Alley Sprint:

Congrats to Paul G. for getting both green jerseys 🏆

After the sprints were don and dusted we relaxed a bit during the fifth lap. We stayed easily together for the full lap and got ready for the race start. Getting closer to the lap banner where the race started, I raised the pace a bit to have a nice flow into the higher power for our racers.

For most of the last lap we stayed good together as a leading group. At around 2km to go one rider tried a break away – could the group catch him? The group came close and most riders went as hard as possible for the last 500m, let’s say we had a nice group sprint 😁
Let’s check out the results from the race:

Congrats to D. Macpherson 🥇, S. Tucker 🥈 and M. Burmester 🥉 for the podium.

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