Tour of Watopia 2023 Ride: Stage 4 – Road to Ruins (Standard)

A new week, a new stage on the second of this year’s Tour of Watopia series. As a midweek ride I opted for the Standard version, so I can fit this one into my lunch break. The Longer variant will be tackled this Saturday. I had another few issues with the Zwift Companion App today, … Read more

Not entirely sure how Queen + Hills relate, but I’m sure it makes sense in French. I actually thought I … Read more
