For the third week of the NCC Zwift Fall Hill Climb/Time Trial series, we ascended the Epic KOM in Watopia.
The hill climb was 5.84 miles with 1,361 feet of climbing. The average gradient was 4%, but it felt like much more.
We had five participants in the group ride. We even had a brief appearance by Lynda G. We chatted on Discord before and after the TT.
Charlie, Kevin, Melissa, and Zinj earned Strava PRs for the climb.

1. O’Keeffe, Jonathan; Time: 22:59; 15.3 mph; 8 points
2. Weinman, Kevin; Time: 23:09*; 15.2 mph; 7 points
