🏁 Completed the 8 stages of Tour de #Zwift 2024.
This time the focus/emphasis was on the shorter routes and sprinting performance.
I'm pretty happy with my results: I was consistently getting into the top 5% (among hundreds of riders) on most of the sprint segments and have set a new personal record for quite a few of them as well.

✅ A comfortable weekend weather for a longer bike ride (🌡️~15℃, no rain, and not too windy) in the second half of November? Such an alluring opportunity to wrap up the outdoor cycling season of 2023, I could't miss it!
A captivating, vivid scenery of gold-n-red trees along the trails was my reward! 🍂🍁

Despite somewhat harsh weather conditions (rain/wind/cold) for the first half of the ride, it was still very enjoyable (and it did get nice and sunny for the last third of it).
Also, the treats on the aid stations were just outstanding this year (yum!).
This is my fourth time participating, so it's really more of a tradition at this point :)

С некоторым опозданием (несмотря на все прививки/бустеры от covid/flu, умудрился порядочно слечь - две недели болел/восстанавливался), но наконец-таки открыл велосезон 2023 неспешным заездом на 50км (при 🌡️30℃ в апреле!). Как же все-таки приятно колесить на свежем воздухе! 🏞️🚴

Не упустил возможности насладиться приятно умиротворяющей 70км велопрогулкой по излюбленной (и уже весьма обильно устланной опавшей листвой) W&OD в один из последних теплых дней уходящей осени (с несколько аномальной, как для середины ноября, температурой в 🌡️20℃). 🍂🛣️🚴
The Great Pumpkin Ride 2022 was truly awesome!
Well balanced and thought through route, scenic country views and variety of tasty treats on the rest stops.
I enjoyed this one a lot! Looking forward to participate again in coming years.
