I led our GGCC team through the virtual streets of Makuri Islands today. We rode on the “Fine and Sandy” course on the Zwift riding platform. In total, it consisted of four laps. Each of the first two laps had two sprints. And there was an optional mini-race at the end of the ride.

As always on the ride towards the first sprint we did a good warm-up at around 2,6W/kg, higher on the clim of course. The first sprint came already after around 3km where the sprinters could show off their legs for the first time. The second sprint came after 3 more kilometers. Basically the course is split into three sections.
The fun part are the two climbs on section one and three.

During the sprints we got some good numbers from our sprinters. The length of both is 350m, but the gradient is different which gives us different times. Let’s check what we got after the four sprints:

Congrats to A. Jones and C. Reyes for such good numbers and the green jersey 🏆

The optional mini-race started from the first sprint banner of the fourth lap. The course was quite difficult. Because of that the race felt a little salty 😈. But the racers took this challenge with strong legs. It was a good fight all the way into the finish. I had a good group with me towards the finish line. The climb and following downhill did its job, some could get away.
Let’s check the results:

Congrats to H. Thank You 🥇, Joerg 🥈 and C. Reyes 🥉 on the podium – good race guys 👍🏻

Thanks to all riders for coming today and having fun with us.
