    More climb portal - just finishing off Bealach na Ba's gradient options. All I had left was the 75% of real world gradient, having accomplished 125% yesterday and the 100% and 50% a goodly while ago.

    Meetup today on the Innsbruck map, and this time I got the distance figured correctly so we all just did the climb once and enjoyed the descent twice. Yay!

    As always I am impressed, inspired, and humbled by all y’all’s consistency!
    I finally crossed the 1000/2024 mark last week (just the first time, @wendsg ) and tacked on a few more today. 38-mile group ride this weekend and a 6-day tour in Oregon’s Columbia River Gorge in July to keep me training.

    @billbiggers06 Pff, I'm inspired by your elevation gain! I wish I had irl climbing like you have over where I am. Absolutely amazing! And having been in the areas you're riding in, I envy your views. Congratz on reaching your first 1000 miles of the year!

    I'd almost forgotten to do a gran fondo this month. So I took care of that. Thanks be to Zwift for a decent mountain to climb where I'd not yet gotten the 75% or 50% gradients done, so I knocked those out too in this longer effort.

    To and from the pool today for a great Thursday swim, and climbed virtual Mt. Fuji in Zwift at 75% real world gradient (I've already done 100% and 125%. Tomorrow I think I'll be knocking out the final option, which is 50%! Long but not steep).

    I split yesterdays rides into 2 morning 7.05 and evening 6.10. It gave me 100 miles for the month which is my lowest ever. Needless to say I'm glad this month is over.

    This month's featured climb in Zwift at 100% real world gradient is a doozy. My legs feel the exact opposite of strong, more like jelly masquerading as noodles. Bleargh.

    125% tomorrow, maybe LMAO

    Great picture! :smiley:

    Me, just more Zwifting. Climb Portal at 125% real world gradient. Made my time goal of 'double digit minutes' lol - and that was /brutal/. Managed a sub-96 minute climb and want to die. Because even virtually, Col de la Couillole is no flippin' joke.

    Not enough hours in the day to tackle the Col again, so did the Cheddar Gorge climb portal instead - I had somehow missed closing out gradients, and still had the 50% left. Not anymore. :smile:

    Got a ride in this morning. The plan is to run later but its really windy here and I hate running in strong wind, it just kills me so might be back with more bike miles later if it doesn't settle.
