I led our GGCC team today through the virtual streets of Makuri Islands. We navigated 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 Jam for doing the RB group job today 👍🏻

We started at a little lower pace just for warming up. From the first sprint on, our sprinters showed 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. Unfortunately, 7 riders were kicked by the fence – R.I.P.
So let’s check out the sprint results from lap 2, 3 and 4:

The Alley Sprint:

Congrats to K. Smart for getting both green jerseys 🏆

After the sprints were done 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. As we approached the lap banner where the race started, I increased my pace. This allowed a smooth transition into higher power for our racers.

For most of the last lap we stayed good together as a leading group. At around 2,5km to go some riders tried a break away – could the group catch him? The group came together again and most riders went as hard as possible for the last 400m, let’s say we had a nice group sprint 😁
Let’s check out the results from the race:

Congrats to K. smart 🥇, Martin B. 🥈 and R. Fetherston 🥉 for the podium.

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