Spent the week hunting badges for the Neokyo map on Zwift. I really should be riding in the snow but the fat bike needs some love and I need more time.

I joined what I thought was a recovery ride on Zwift and instead found myself in a criterium sprinting and gradually falling behind the group. I wish I could “recover” like these guys.

This did allow me to be lazy and then sprint until I wanted to puke as I went on a leaderboard hunt. I doubt it was effective training but when you are too lazy to

I’ve been on the trainer for the past 3 days. For whatever reason Zwift disconnected from Strava so not all the rides made it over. Multiple days on the trainer leaves the brain a mess of indistinguishable memories that all blur together and my legs are still whining and crying out with debilitating cramps. I keep telling myself tomorrow will be the day I feel

Not real London just Zwift London. I did make it past Buckingham Palace. I waved at the queen. Not the real queen but I imagine the virtual queen in her virtual Zwift Palace cheering all of us on. The ride – Zwift
