The French ride description and a course name i wasn&#8217;t familiar with added to my mistake. It wasn&#8217;t until the KOM when I saw Yorkshire that I realized I wasn&#8217;t riding in France. According to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/royal-pump-room-8\/\">ZwiftInsider.com<\/a><\/strong> (where I should&#8217;ve looked before the bike ride), &#8220;One of six routes rolled out with <a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/update-1-0-39812\/\">Zwift\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s UCI 2019 Worlds map<\/a>, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Royal Pump Room 8\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153figure of 8\u00e2\u20ac\u009d route which covers all roads in both directions. This is the longest Yorkshire route in game.&#8221; The ride lasted 60 minutes but I had no idea how much climbing would be in that time. I ended up biking 14.91 miles and climbing 1,490 feet. This is two days in a row with over 1,400 feet of climbing. My legs are getting a workout. Next Zwift bike ride needs to be a flat one. There were 16% climbs where I slowed to 3 or 4 mph. The pace was open with no fence though I did see a sweep who eventually passed me. I stayed with the first group for about 10 minutes before getting dropped and picked up by the following group. Around 40 minutes I lost contact with groups and soloed to the finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/zwiftinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/royal-pump-room-8-zwifthub.png?w=1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The profile in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftpower.com\/events.php?zid=1631370\">Zwiftpower.com<\/a><\/strong> and Stava show a hilly course with no many flat or descending stretches. I shift gears a lot which I don&#8217;t do much when ride the roads around home where it is flat. Without the full results in Zwiftpower I placed 15th though the bike ride wasn&#8217;t a race. The Zwift event information reports 418 people registered. I earned a new personal record on the New Yorkshire KOM according to Zwift. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/4723550572\">Strava<\/a><\/strong> showed 4 medals: 1 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze. When I finished the bike ride I noticed at the top of the companion app that 44,414 people were using Zwift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
