Today I was leading our GGCC team through the virtual streets of Watopia on the Zwift riding platform. In total it was a one lap training ride on the “Triple Flat Loops” course.
We had two sprints during the ride and our optional minirace with the “Fuego Flats Forward Sprint” at the end.
Thanks Ian P. for helping out today 👍🏻

We started at a steady 2,6W/kg during the lead-in. After that I went at around 2,8W/kg for the flats and around 3,3W/kg on the bumps.
We had a good group today staying close together for getting the best draft possible. Most of the course was just for training purpose. Closer to the end we got our first sprint of the day. And after a short loop we did the same again.
Already the first time was a good one, but the second one was even better. Let’s check out the sprint results:

Congrats to P. Baker for going in green 🏆

After the second sprint was done and dusted we only had some kilometre left until the start of our optional minirace. I slowly put the fence down to first 5sec and later to 2sec. By having 7km left I gave the GO GO GO to let the racers do their thing.
I myself raised the pace and stayed steady in the leading group. The leading group could stay good together until we came into the desert. With somewhat around 2km left two guys went of the front. At around 1km to the finish line a third rider tried his best catching the two in front. The three riders did a good sprint towards the line, same for the leading group a little later.
Let’s check out the results:

Congrats to B. Wu 🥇, P. Baker 🥈 and M. Matthew 🥉 on the podium.

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