I had the absolute pleasure of wrangling our GGCC team today! We cycled through the digital wonderland of Richmond on the “Libby Hill After Party” course on the Zwift platform, where sweat and pixels flew everywhere. With four sprints that felt like being chased by a pack of rabid squirrels and an optional mini-race at the end (who doesn’t love a little chaos?), it was quite the ride! Big shoutout to Roger and Jam for herding the red group today – you nailed it like a pro! 🚴‍♂️💨

I cruised along at a chill pace somewhere between Coco’s leisurely stroll and Yumi’s “let’s pretend we’re running from a bear” speed for the flat part of the course. The last lap? Oh, I cranked it up to Yumi pace to warm up the legs for our mini race adventure—because who doesn’t love a little optional chaos?
We tackled the sprint four times to give our hearts a little workout and maybe scare them into submission. Here are the results:

Congrats to C. Miller to the green jersey with a good time – strongly done!

After the last lap, we trotted over to “Libby Hill” like excited puppies. At the 5 km mark, right under the sprint arch, I hollered “GO GO GO!” like a hyper coach at a child’s soccer game for our optional mini-race.
The racing peloton powered up like a bunch of caffeinated squirrels until we hit the turnaround—where the uphill began and reality set in. From the KOM mark, every rider unleashed their inner mountain goat, clawing their way up “Libby Hill” as if the ice cream truck was waiting at the top. Now, let’s check the time for the KOM and see who snagged the shiny podium spots!

Congrats to P. Hueso 🥇, Martin B.🥈 and A. Ross 🥉 on the podium.

Thanks to all riders for coming and playing with us today – good job all 👍🏻
