Zwift Big Spin | Stage 4

Posted on 2nd April 20242nd May 2024 by Tim

Again I stuck with the B Class route for the final Stage 4 – the Lutece Express route in Paris! I had ridden this route before but forgotten how long the ride in was. However it was quite enjoyable and with two laps gave two opportunities to win prizes. I won the Le Tournesol Kit and Le Beret. Annoyingly the prize I wanted – the Union Jack bucket hat wasn’t forthcoming but I wasn’t desperate enough to ride anymore from this event.

Zwift Big Spin | Stage 3

Posted on 25th March 202425th March 2024 by Tim

This evening I chose to stick with the B Class route for Stage 3 – the Mighty Metropolitan route in New York which contained a nasty KOM that caused a lot of grief! I reverted to my usual wheels from the Tri-Spoke and Disc wheel wheels I got from the Stage 1 ride. This time round I won the Zwift Big Spin shoes. As a bonus, I also levelled up to Level 32 and unlocked the flat cap! Only one more Stage to go for next week but hopefully I’ll get a chance to ride between now and then…

Route	Mighty Metropolitan

Zwift Big Spin | Stage 2

Aha! Having learned my lesson with Stage 1 I decided to ride the B Class route for Stage 2 this evening. This was the Greater London Flat route and whilst it was a lot shorter than the usual rides I was glad when it was over! I was able to sustain a much higher threshold than the other day but it was still hard going. I used the Tri-Spoke and Disc wheel wheels I got from the previous Stage ride. I’m not sure they helped to be honest but hey ho… This time round I won the Orange Headphones. Again, woo.

Route	Greater London Flat
Distance	19.1 km

Zwift Big Spin | Stage 1

Posted on 16th March 202418th March 2024 by Tim

Well, tonight’s ride was the first ride in over a month due to travel and illness. I still wasn’t feeling particularly good but having put a lot of weight in due to a lack of exercise I forced myself to jump aboard. Stupidly I chose the Category A ride Country to Coastal. I really suffered with this one and plodded round at a very sedate pace even using the coffee break facility. Still, it felt good to be back in the saddle, literally. It was also a new route for me and I managed to level up to Level 31, and unlocked some Oakley Eyeshades.

Regards the Big Spin I managed to win the Tri-Spoke and Disc wheel combo. Woo.

Route	Country to Coastal
