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 for going in red and Jamie for helping me in the peloton today – good job mates 👍🏻

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 5,4km.
Today we had quite a strong group riding hard. This took the planned power output in the range of 205W avg. Before the minirace we hit already 210W avg at 71kg. During the 1’st lap we had quite a split in the group. This because of the hard sprinting and the downhill after the 2’nd one. Luckily we could get together again thanks to some riders.

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. The sprinters could bring some really good numbers to the table. Let’s check the results for both of them:
Country Sprint:

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

Village Sprint:

Congrats to S. Qvist 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 the group closely together for having a fair race start.

Shortly after race start a good group went on a higher pace away. Jamie was doing a great job helping me keeping them together to the finish line.Some riders did try to push at some bumps, but we could hold the whole racing group together. Everyone tried and pushed everything left in their legs at the finishing group sprint.
Let’s check out the results:

Congrats to H. Thank You 🥇, J. Taylor 🥈 and Varty 🥉 for the podium – good racing 👍🏻

Thanks to everyone for coming and riding with us today.
