The Big Spin is BACK on Zwift for 2026. Stage 1 is Flat Out Fast

Описание: Based on how I am feeling (having a lot of trouble kicking this cold), this ride was perfect for me today.

The group was motivated and kept the speed high, while not being too aggressive about it. The course is relatively flat, except the initial false flat up to the desert out of the start pens, so I was able to keep things relatively contained throughout the ride.

I am really looking forward to being fully healthy again, and getting centered and back to the usually scheduled programming. BUT, I am also not using sleep over things, as there are always in things in life which will get in the way of training and racing. So, I am rolling with it, bringing what I can to each day, and gradually working back to fitness and speed.

All in all, a great day on the bike amongst the Zwift Community. Have you done Stage 1 yet? How did you find it? Have you won any of the better prizes yet?

I got a hat...
