I opted for a Zwift ride. Looking at the upcoming events none appealed to me or the time was too late so I created a Zwift &#8220;meetup&#8221; riding in France on the Casse &#8211; Pattes route. One lap is 14.8 miles long but I wanted to ride 22 miles and adjusted the meetup to that length. Over those miles I expected to climb about 600 feet mainly over two hills. The first hill was not that tall but the second one was longer and higher. This was the third time riding this route and the longest. I wasn&#8217;t alone on the course with over 2800 other Zwifters in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-14-2023-SportTracks-Zwift-Ride-History-France-Casse-Pattes.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"273\" data-attachment-id=\"61815\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/3-14-2023-sporttracks-zwift-ride-history-france-casse-pattes\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-14-2023-SportTracks-Zwift-Ride-History-France-Casse-Pattes.png?fit=1839%2C418\" data-orig-size=\"1839,418\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"3-14-2023 SportTracks Zwift Ride History France Casse-Pattes\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;3-14-2023 SportTracks Zwift Ride History France Casse-Pattes&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;3-14-2023 SportTracks Zwift Ride History France Casse-Pattes&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-14-2023-SportTracks-Zwift-Ride-History-France-Casse-Pattes.png?fit=600%2C136\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-14-2023-SportTracks-Zwift-Ride-History-France-Casse-Pattes.png?fit=800%2C182\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-14-2023-SportTracks-Zwift-Ride-History-France-Casse-Pattes.png?resize=1200%2C273&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3-14-2023 SportTracks Zwift Ride History France Casse-Pattes\" class=\"wp-image-61815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-14-2023-SportTracks-Zwift-Ride-History-France-Casse-Pattes.png?w=1839 1839w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-14-2023-SportTracks-Zwift-Ride-History-France-Casse-Pattes.png?resize=600%2C136 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-14-2023-SportTracks-Zwift-Ride-History-France-Casse-Pattes.png?resize=800%2C182 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-14-2023-SportTracks-Zwift-Ride-History-France-Casse-Pattes.png?resize=640%2C145 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/3-14-2023-SportTracks-Zwift-Ride-History-France-Casse-Pattes.png?resize=1536%2C349 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">3-14-2023 SportTracks Zwift Ride History France Casse-Pattes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I thought I might try some side roads after riding 14.8 miles but none appeared.
