One more day in Rouvyland it is.
i have heard maybe 2 rumbles this whole weekend. I feel cheated. OTOH, we've gotten close to 2" of good, soaking rain, so I won't complain. Well, maybe a little, because no outdoor ride today. OTOH, I had a good time Zwiftng. I did a route - "Dust In The Wind".- with 4 smallish climbs. I decided to just ride like I was outside - stomp up the little rises, settle in and grind out the hills at 75-80 rpm, spin down the other side - Zwift's algorith reduces negative gradients to 50%, so what's nominally -6% is really -3, so coasting down hills isn't really like IRL. I didn't do it as a hammerfest, but I ended up beating my previous time on the route by 6 minutes.
