Today... was absolute murder.
Pace bots do make a huge difference, as do massive crowds (that draft is beautiful). My IRL imperial century time sits around 6 hours on my steel race bike, and 7.5 hours on my gravel bike (which is a heavy beast, and I was having fun sight seeing so meh, doesn't count lol). I'd like to try one on my Bianchi one of these days to see how rapidly I can accomplish one on that beast (metric centuries in less than 4 are quite feasible on the Bianchi as proven last year, and the Assault on the Carolinas should be quite fun - last year I did it in 4.5, and I'm trying to match or beat that this year).
Still, despite having a pace bot, it doesn't stop the feet from setting themselves on fire when you're in toe baskets wearing tennis shoes. And to make matters worse, today was Interval training day, so following the imperial, I did some quick core exercises for a 'break' then rolled into a hard 20 minute interval session on the bike. Ugh.
But got some great milage! 🤪

@sarabushby Thank you! I call it 'stubbornness' rather than being a machine, though lol (machines don't pay the price with sore legs the next day)
Daily 10 done. Thankfully.

Still on track for my 2023. Hoping to bank a few extra miles over the next 2 weeks, then I'm heading to Europe for 3 weeks so I won't be riding much!3 -
@SavageMrsMoose Have a grand time in Europe!!!
Finished the daily 10. Parrot was losing his mind, but oh well lol
Got a good ride coming up tomorrow, so kept today quite light.

Tour de Lowcountry today! So glad I took my old steel bike - the carbon fiber would've demolished my bones on those rattly roads.

Finished the 'Back to Fitness' training program in Zwift! Going to take a break from training programs this week to facilitate full recovery before the Assault on the Carolinas this weekend, and then hit the ground running with another training program next week. So it'll just be 10 mile Pace Partner efforts until Saturday.

I'm starting late and may not make it but I love the idea of this challenge. Hey I might surprise myself. My bike is currently getting its front derailer fixed so indoor at the gym it is.

@sunshineekg Welcome to the challenge! I'm certain that you can do it!!
And front derailleurs are such a pain in the butt. I do my own bike maintenance and loathe them with a passion that burns like the sun.
Daily 10 complete with an extra mile in there just to round out the milage for more experience points (did Tour of Watopia stage 4 again because it's fun). Sooooo close to my next Zwift level!

Well done Wendy. I’ve done B and C in Stage 4 and today hoping to tick off the A route.
Not sure if I’m too late to join the party but I’ve also been knocking down on Zwift ahead of outdoor riding. Yesterday was just a ride to burn calories, my mind wasn’t in it at all. Chose a late join and short section of stage 4 A route for the double xp:

It’s been a minute, as the kids say (kids being anyone younger than 35). 15 miles and 1k’ after a week of international travel, jet lag, storms, and the travel Ick. Happy with this step. More to come.

Stage 4A of Tour of Watopia completed. Pretty hefty effort. Good burn at least and I certainly didn’t get bored. A short cooldown after to get the HR back down.

First of all, I wish it didn’t take so many clicks to get here. OK, had to get that out.
Very good ride this morning, getting my legs back after some time off. Looking forward to warmer weather. 21.5 miles and almost 1400’. Just a gorgeous day.

@Calliope610 Welcome to the challenge! Wish you luck!!
Today was Assault on the Carolinas. They had to change the route so we only assaulted the north (heheheh) due to some pretty rough weather rolling through. Still a great ride, but having 20mph headwinds with 50mph gusts made it interesting, to put things mildly! Headwinds are rough... but crosswinds are the flippin' devil.
