Today I was leading our GGCC team through the virtual streets of the “Croissant” course on the Zwift riding platform. In total it was a four lap training ride with some good sprints and an optional mini-race at the end.
Thanks to Roger for going in red today and Andrew for helping out in the peloton – good job 👍🏻

We started at a good warm-up pace to get some blood into the legs. Every lap had some sprints, we did not go for all of them each lap. We only did the sprints on the first two laps because of the optional mini-race at the end.
Today we had quite a strong group riding hard on this challenging course. This took the planned power output in the range of 200W avg. The minirace of course was much harder. On the 3’rd lap we got a little low for getting the group together.

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 all of them:

Congrats to all the sprinters for getting the green jersey – strong job 🏆

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 some riders went on a higher pace away from the main peloton. I was with the race leaders going even harder for hunting those strong riders back. Everyone tried and pushed everything left in their legs uphill at the finishing group sprint.
Let’s check out the results:

Congrats to S. Oliver 🥇, P. Hueso 🥈 and M. Matt 🥉 for the podium – strong racing 👍🏻

Thanks to everyone for coming and riding with us today.
