Distance: 26.7 miles and 1,476 feet of climbing. This is the second longest Zwift bike ride since I started. The longest was November 15th, 2019 at 28.11 miles but only 275 feet of climbing then. My goals for February: 400 road miles and 100 Zwift miles. After today I am 26% of the way to my Zwift goal. This was my second time riding this course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking back on January in Zwift I thought about how much it cost to ride there: $.0498 per mile (325.8 miles, $16.23 subscription cost) or $.827 per hour (19:38 hours, $16.23 subscription).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ride leader encouraged everyone to stay together for the first 25 to 30 minutes which most did. After that everyone set their own pace. I hung with a group until then. Around 40 minutes into the ride I lost contact and then rode with individual riders who I caught or caught me, usually going up a climb. Box Hill is a bear as is the climb out of the subway near the end of each lap with 14% while Box Hill averaged 5% climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftpower.com\/events.php?zid=1632610\">ZwiftPower.com<\/a><\/strong> I finished 59th which isn&#8217;t too bad considering the climbing. Box Hill stands out in the profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
