Tour of Watopia 2023 Ride: Stage 5 – The Big Ring (Longer)

I’m pretty sure I’ve done my left knee some damage, but this one was as good a ride as any to see out the Tour of Watopia Fall 2023. Ahead of this one I’d read that the name of the route, The Big Ring, implies that this one can be taken on, in full, using … Read more

Yes! Finally! A podium finish! Hah. No, of course not. For my troubles today I got a buggered left knee and 27th place (according to Zwift Racing App), or an even more depressing 34th spot on Zwift officially. But I’m sure you don’t expect much better than that by now, right? Well, if you were, … Read more
