Ride It Like You Stole It!

Well, longest time on Zwift. Did a good 30 minutes, with a climb of box hill then jumped over to the ZZRC Sub 2.0 for a steady hour. Eased off on Box Hill to keep it with the ride leader as once you are over the top, there is no stopping as you 'freewheel' to the underground, so you can't regroup until then.
Felt a clicking coming from the gears but carried on. Just 0.1m from the end I could smell burning ! Looked down, and the rear wheel had pulled over (steel frame) and the tyre was touching the chain stay. Whoops. Suffering a mechanical on a virtual trainer, what next ! I think I need to lose the race blade longs as the mudguard tab sits between the frame and the QR.
So about 27 miles. Never thought I'd ever ride that long on a turbo.
Slightly better time up Box Hill. Top 1/3rd of this evening's rides.
