For the second week of the NCC Zwift Hill Climb/Time Trial Series, we rode a time trial in Yorkshire.

The challenge for the day was the 2019 UCI Worlds Harrogate Circuit. The course is 8.58 miles with an average gradient of 0%. That said, there is still 787 feet of climbing throughout the course.

Scott took the top spot on the podium by 1 minute and 40 seconds! Jonathan and Andy completed the podium and are already in tight battle for the overall title.

With the colder weather, Zinj, Henry vDB, and Steve made their return to the Zwift series.

After 89 consecutive NCC Zwift Hill Climb/Time Trials, Melissa skipped today! Apparently volleyball was more important than our virtual competition.

Here are today’s results:
