Nice one. Rode the Pretzel which a friend hadn't done.

I saw a group ride like that Big-G, L'Équipe something or other. But they were going to ride it too fast for me.
I joined in with the Head for Change rugby charity challenge instead. Raising awareness of brain injuries etc. Geraint Thomas was supposedly on the ride, but I never saw him.

AC, yes, that’s the group ride that I did. They’ve got a few group rides lined up over the coming weeks to help tick off certain routes. I think they’re doing The Pretzel in a couple of weeks, and ZwiftInsider are doing PRL Full next week.

That volcano loop is on my to-do list but I’m close to my tron so trying to focus on climbing for now. A proper bash at the Alpe is scheduled for Tuesday.
Bit frustrating to have a Bluetooth dropout in this morning’s race which dumped me out the front group and left me with a 30 min TT to hold off a chasing group of 9! Quite lucky in that it happened late enough that it probably only cost me a place or two to be honest. The Bluetooth thing has just started to cause problems in the last few rides so I’ll try switching to ant+ which most people say is more stable anyway.

I remember doing the 25 laps last year, we did a club 100km race which was basically a solo time trial, but with all the lapping on a closed circuit it turned into quit a motivating ride.
I did the Evo 160 today, rounded it up to 4 hours and ticked off the 100 mile badge. Madness that I've not got this before now.

I've also had a few BT dropouts, usually just of the speed sensor. Might have to dig out the ant stick if that's considered a more robust route.

The full PRL is really quite easy Big_G, it is a flat loop with a small kicker and a short and not overly hard climb. You just do it a lot :¬)
Target for the climb JDA ?
Fopp - I have rarely done 100 mile rides

I can’t imagine doing a 100 mile ride on a bike that goes nowhere. My first century ride is going to be outside and include coffee and lunch!!

Angus - done it on the PRL as it is over 100 miles but strangely only done a road 100 twice.
Now racing a single speed MTB that is a whole nother matter :¬)

I’ve done 4 outside rides over 250 miles 😀.
Loads of 100+
Oddly that PRL full we did 3 weeks ago was my first 100 inside, but lots around 80 ish.
