For the 10th week of the NCC Zwift Fall Hill Climb/Time Trial Series, we rode in Watopia.

This week, our challenge was four laps of the Volcano Circuit. In total, the four laps covered 10.2 miles with 224 feet of climbing.

It was a small group of riders this evening. Melissa filled in for me and lead the group today.

A mere 61 seconds was the total time spread for the five riders. Henry earned the win by 3 seconds over Dusty.

Jonathan had rare trainer dropouts on lap 3, but still finished in third place, 1 second ahead of Zinj.

Melissa, who is still battling a never ending cold, put up a fast first lap before slowing a bit to take the final position.
