    I am a fan of the climbing portal, it has been rainy in UK so chance to do some zwifting. The climbs just burn more calories for a set amount of time.

    Forgot to log yesterday's ride! Yesterday was a ride with the Miguel Bot in Zwift. Today was the Isola 2000 climb in the Zwift climb portal (which is shockingly brutal - especially since today I was back on my direct drive trainer, so I could feel every change in the gradient. Ow.)

    Ride 1 - 10.17 miles <- Zwift pace-bot
    Ride 2 - 25.00 miles <- Zwift climb portal of yikes

    Today was the Zwift climb portal's version of the Isola 2000 climb at 125% real-world gradient. Bleargh.

    Zwift Academy is starting again! There are zero aspirations of pro here (let's be real - I would have the same chance as a toddler born without legs of attaining pro cyclist status), but it's always fun to do this and improve my fitness. Today was the welcome ride.

    Was intending to do an easy 10 miles, did a climb portal climb instead. 50% because I'd already done the 75, 100 and 125% versions. May as well close it out completely. :wink:

    Impressive riding @wendsg. My husband and I have been glued to the tour. Over our last 2 trips we've drove on a lot of the Alps routes and either visited or stayed at some of the places too. Sad now the Tour is over for another year.

    @Mari33a Thank you! I've been glued to the tour as well - we were streaming it over the speakers in the car while I was driving so I could listen even though I couldn't watch (can't take the eyeballs off the road while towing a camper over mountains!). I'm rather jealous that you got to drive the routes! I'd love to do that myself one of these eons. :smile:

    Today was a swim day, so rode to and from the pool, then had a meetup with a good group of folks in Zwift. Lots of fun!

    You can do it!!

    Today was another easy ride. Tomorrow I have an event ride that may be a bit challenging, depending on whether or not my knees want to play. We'll see how they feel after today's 5k run.

    Great progress, all!!

    Today was riding for the last of the new 'event-only' route badges in Zwift (because even though it's a riding and training platform, it's a video game and I need all the virtual shiny doodads, thank you very much). Good high-pace group today.

    Best of luck hitting that run goal, @Mari33a !!

    Zwift ride today. Most of the day was consumed with rowing my boat out to my li'l fishing hole in the nearby creek. Head's still woozy, but getting better.

    I went on vacation in Northern Michigan to end July. I have been riding and going to the gym on vacation. One more month like this will put me over the 2024 mile challenge distance.

    @wendsg, I agree it is really convenient to hop on Zwift to get your ride in. Do you have a bike dedicated to your Zwift setup or do you put your bike on it when you ride?

    July 28, 50.00 mi. Planet Fitness Matrix Spin/Coast bike Zone 2 - Endurance Ride - 3 hours.
    July 31, 24.26 mi. Outdoor Trail Ride - Sleeping Bear Dunes Heritage Trail.
    My 2024 YTD Total Cycling Distance is 1,736.71 mi.
    I got a late start so I have to do 180 miles per month to get to 2024 by the end of the year.
    I rode 412.61 mi. in July.

    @RMUNTZ2 I actually have a dedicated bike! I bought a 1972 Schwinn Super Le Tour 12.2 at a garage sale for $50 and slapped a saddle worth the cost of the bike on it. I still am running the original drive train, just with a different cassette in the back because it's on a direct-drive trainer that won't accept the old cog stack it used to ride on! It's interesting, though, because despite having a 7 speed cassette, I can only use 5 of the cogs thanks to the original derailleur on the bike! Makes Zwifting even more challenging (and in my opinion, very fun).

    Today was a Zwift meetup while we try not to float away down here.
