MUCKERS City cool down or race 2 of 6. 28/03/23
Rouvy Route Used: Rio de Janeiro | Aterro do Flamengo | Brazil | 6.25 miles | 82 ft of climbing
Route 4 from the cities around the world challenge
16 registered | 6 finishers
Another chance to get a City Route ticked off and it looked like 5 decided to take on the race part of the title, where as just 1 rider used it as a cool down.
Actually looked like a good race between eventual winner “EdAlves” and “PatrykS_Gdynia_PL” with just 7 between them both! Then another little race off between “psy4you” and “robbiedoo” with the Begium rider getting the Bronze. Then just 9 seconds behind was “Rank“. All of these riders in the 15 minutes bracket!
6th and 5 minutes behind all these was myself, “Mucker1974” who did treat it as a cool down after the big race we had before this. Even if I’d have put it in, I’d have still come 6th so it was a good decision and gives me a nice collection of points as well.
Thanks to the 6 of you for jumping on.

I’m still just treating these as a cool down for now. The races beforehand have been tough and I need to try and incorporate some light spinning after them so these work a treat. Also these routes have been used plenty of other times in challenges and I know I’ve done some flat out efforts on these with fresh legs so I won’t even bother my PB’s even of I went for it! especially straight after a long race event. So I’m the tortoise in this one, and somehow in 3rd overall….
