Three Short Climbs and The Big Spin - Zee style!

 Big Spin is coming and already a points gathering opportunity for previous riders. I will try some of those as it suits me, but more for points than items. I kept going both times until I had the bikes and wheels I wanted.

What is Zee Style? It is for those who race the stage, finish, and late join for extra spins. A few of us started this method as it was a fun challenge. Then, I mentioned it to Nathan Guerra. He joined in and had a blast with us. He mentioned it during a race broadcast and suddenly there were hundreds of people doing it. Wow. I thought it was awesome.


I tried all three new portal climbs at full speed. But now I am going at them all in style to test myself. I am not concerned about getting beaten or not. I have lost that illusion. Someone with a spin bike or a squiggly power meter can always ride on Strava and demolish one's best efforts. But I am proud of what I can do with these short, short efforts.
