Firstly I’m not sure what happened to Stage 5 – I logged in as normal for my weekly ride only to find Stage 6 presented to me. Oh well – I shall do this on the catch-up week a the end of the event.
Anyway, last night I reached Level 28 and unlocked some Polka Dot socks by completing the sixth stage of the 2024 Tour de Zwift. The Category A route was one I didn’t like the look of at all – Accelerate to Elevate in Watopia… I’ve ridden Alpe du Zift a few times previously but these were always around the 80 – 90 minute mark and completely tiring. This time there would be a 30 km ride just to get there. Two and a half hours later I reached the top of the Alpe and finished about 170/259 so I was pleased with that. A few aches this morning but nothing as bad as I expected.
