The video --- 
The morning got away from as I worked on my Linux computer changing the operating system from Ubuntu to Ziron. I started working on that when the temperature was in the low 50's which pointed me to riding Zwift if it didn't warm up by 11 AM or so. Tuesday is a short window day because I play dominoes with a group. with that in mind I decided to ride Zwift. Opening Zwift Makuri Islands was one world to choose from. Scrolling through the routes one that I had not done (according to Zwift) was Chasing The Sun. Not too long, 21.8 miles, but with extra climbing at 1034 feet. The big climb was the Temple KOM, a category 4 mountain. Back on March 13th I started this route (according to SportTracks) but must have moved off course and did not earn the Zwift badge. Going up Temple KOM some of the gradients hit 10% and I was out of the saddle. My legs got a workout and were tired when I finished the ride. I achieved a number of Strava segment awards. The Strava profile map doesn't portray the steepness of the KOM.
