Tour of Watopia 2023 Ride: Stage 4 – Big Loop (Longer)

Another tiring ride. I think that just about sums it up. I was looking forwards to this one. It’s a while since I’ve done the Epic KOM, and after last week’s climb of the AdZ it’s almost like a week off. Almost. It’s still 364m of climb over 9.4km, though the average is only 3.9%. … Read more

Race Watopia: Stage 4 – Volcano Circuit CCW (B)

Tour of Watopia 2023 Ride: Stage 3 – Tour of Fire and Ice (Longer)

Race Watopia: Stage 3 – Two Bridges Loop (B)
