Today I was leading our GGCC team through the virtual streets of the Flatland Loop on the Zwift riding platform. In total it was a three lap training ride with some good sprints and an optional mini-race.
Thanks to Jam, Ian and Roger for helping out. Thanks to JC for going in red today – good job 👍🏻

We started at a good warm-up pace to get some blood into the legs. Every lap had two sprints, the Country Sprint and the Village Sprint. We only did the sprints on the first two laps because of the optional mini-race at the end, around 5,5km.
Today we had quite a strong group riding hard. This took the planned power output in the range of 195-200W avg. Before the minirace we hit to 206W avg.

On each sprint of the two per lap our sprinters used their strong legs. We really had some hard sprinting with good numbers to show up. Let’s check the results for both of them:
Country Sprint:

Village Sprint:

Congrats to R. Bishop for getting the green jersey here 🏆

After the sprints were done and dusted I was leading the peloton towards the optional mini-race start.
Basically we went up in power a bit for preparation of our racers legs. Slowly I brought the fence down to 5sec first and 2sec before the race start. We had a group closely together for having a fair race start.

Shortly after race start a good group went on a higher pace away from the main peloton. I was with the race leaders going at a good race pace. At around 2km left some raised the pace up and went away. Everyone tried and pushed everything left in their legs at the finish sprint.
Let’s check out the results:

Congrats to A. Krupy 🥇, D. Rockliff 🥈 and D. Stewart 🥉 for the podium – good racing 👍🏻
