Neokyo Nights: Stage 2 – Twilight Harbor (B)

An interesting race today, but not in the way you might expect. Everything about this one was fairly uninteresting, as far as racing on Zwift goes. The route was practically flat. 103m elevation over 20.8km. Three laps, each of which sees the first half with almost no movement. The second half is where the fun … Read more

I mean I knew I would be on Zwift at lunch time, but that’s just a regular Tuesday for me. The … Read more
