Today I was leading our GGCC team through the virtual streets of Scotland on the “Rolling Highlands” on the Zwift riding platform. In total it was a four lap training ride with an optional mini-race at the end. Thanks Jam for helping out today and leading the red beacon group 👍🏻

Because of the base of GGCC we went through the nice scenery of Scotland. The Rolling Highlands are not only nice looking, the course also is quite hard to ride on. But there are even harder courses to choose from 😉

Some guys went a bit too fast during our first lap and were killed by the fence – R.I.P. 🪦
For most of our three laps before the mini-race we had a good peloton. Most of the riders were all together which gave us a good draft. But still it was a hard ride because of the nature of the course profile. It was nice seeing some strong ladies riding with us today 💪🏻
In total we had a two group front where some riders were right behind the fence and the others in the main peloton. During the last lap all came back together to the peloton and we had a good group for the last kilometres.

On this course there is no sprint banner as we usually have, but there is a nice and short KOM “Breakaway Brae”. Here not many riders went fast during our laps, but because of our mini-race there were some nice numbers in the mix. Let’s see the climbing results from the race:

During the last lap, from the second roundabout, I gave the GO GO GO for our optional mini-race. This was a little shorter race as usual, but the two “climbs” are giving some spices into the race. And the Breakaway Brae KOM is a spicy sprint uphill towards the finish line.
Let’s check the race results:

Congrats to B. Wu 🥇, A. C. 🥈 and Y. Sinske 🥉 for the podium.

Thanks to all for coming and riding with us today.
