Great NCC turnout, with five racers in the B group (Charlie, Zinj, Kevin, Mike H, and myself) and three in the C’s (Michael B, Chris J, and Melissa, making her return to the racing scene after an IRL tumble a few weeks ago). Charlie missed the start by a minute or two, but hung in to soften up the field with a few attacks. I took some flyers on the hill with a couple of feather powerups and a ghost, but nothing in Zwift ever gets away. Connection dropout in the final sprint had me sprinting alone to the line, but still got fourth, just behind Kevin, who got on the podium in third. Michael just missed the podium in the C group with a fourth-place finish, retaining his overall series lead.

Chris J was in Discord with us, but didn’t show up in the ZwiftPower results, so I’m not sure where he finished. Chris, if you let me know how you placed, I will add you to the results.

1. Kevin Weinman – 3 of 15 (B race)- 86.7 points
2. Michael Bello – 4 of 18 (C race)- 83.3 points
