For the sixth week of the NCC Zwift Hill Climb/Time Trial Series, we visited Central Park.

This week, our challenge was the Park Perimeter Loop. This 6.1 mile loop includes 413 feet of climbing.

We had a small crowd today. Zinj was less than excited that Andy was out of town and that he had the opportunity surpass his rival.

Jonathan sped around the park and took the top podium position. Zinj finished second, 38 seconds back.

Steve seemed very confident he would take third. I informed him that my workout today was not base training, but hard intervals, so he would still need to try. I really should have stayed quiet. He beat me by a 1 minute and 40 seconds, but that was the closest I’ve finished in a while.

Here are today’s results:

1. O’Keeffe, Jonathan; Time: 0:14:39; 24.9 mph; 4 points
2. Guo, Zinj; Time: 0:15:17; 23.8 mph; 3 points
3. Wysk, Steve; Time: 0:16:53; 21.6 mph; 2 points
4. Bello, Michael; Time: 0:18:33; 19.6 mph; 1 points
