Zwift Tour de Zwift 2024 | Stage 2

Posted on 10th January 202420th January 2024 by Tim

This evening I completed the second stage of the 2024 Tour de Zwift. The Category A route was two laps of The Muckle Yin in Scotland. I’d not ridden this route before but I had ridden most of it’s sections including the nasty Sgurr Summit. This ride would feature that twice in both directions as well as four other climbs. Needless to say it was a little tough and I could feel the burn in my legs afterwards. However it wasn’t as tiring as Stage 1 which I was very pleasantly surprised with.

I also levelled up to Level 25 during the ride. It seems rather too easy to level up following the recent changes and I’m not sure I like it.

Route	The Muckle Yin in Scotland
Distance	47.4 km
Time	1h 30m 44s
Elevation	564 m
Average Power	229 W

This evening I completed the first stage of the 2024 Tour de Zwift. The Category A route was Triple Loops in London. This was a fair distance and not having completed it previously along with not checking the route beforehand I had a nasty shock on the ride when I realised it would cover both Leith Hill and Box Hill climbs, not to mention that particularly gnarly 15% staircase in the tube station at the end!

Still I completed it without feeling too bad and managed to level up to Level 24 during the ride.

Route	Triple Loops in London
Distance	41.4 km
Time	1h 28m 22s
Elevation	569 m

Zwift Tour of Watopia Fall 2023 | Stage 5

Posted on 30th October 202331st October 2023 by Tim

This evening I completed the fifth and final stage of the 2023 Fall Tour of Watopia – The Big Ring, one of the new routes that featured a new section of the map to include the southern coast expansion. I started off at a decent enough pace but made the mistake of tackling the first sprint section too hard which then wiped me out for the next few miles.

Whilst everything was done at a fairly sedate pace, this is the first time I’ve completed all A rides in a tour so I’m pleased with that. #rideon!

Route	The Big Ring
Distance	53.1 km
Time	1h 44m 36s
Elevation	276 m
Average Power	215 W

Zwift Tour of Watopia Fall 2023 | Stage 4

This evening I completed the fourth stage of the 2023 Fall Tour of Watopia – Big Loop. I joined this without understanding what was involved and was a bit disappointed to see the Epic KOM was involved. Fortunately it wasn’t to the summit. The ride wasn’t too bad and I was able to take it fairly easily with a few bursts of energy throughout, and earned the Patterned Socks! I also managed to level up to Level 22.

Route	Big Loop
Distance	43.00 km
Time	1h 45m 36s
Elevation	664 m
Average Power	220 W

Zwift Tour of Watopia Fall 2023 | Stage 3

Posted on 17th October 202331st October 2023 by Tim

This evening I completed the third stage of the 2023 Fall Tour of Watopia – Tour of Fire and Ice. Needless to say I wasn’t looking forward to the Alpe de Zwift. So far my fastest time for the climb is an unimpressive 97 minutes, so this route with an additional 12 km or so beforehand didn’t fill me with joy. However, I managed to stay in Zone 2 for most of the climb which meant progress was slow and steady. Almost two and a half hours later I made it to the top of the climb!

Route	Tour of Fire and Ice
Distance	42.02 km
Time	2h 23m 32s
Elevation	1189 m
Average Power	194 W
