The Group C ride was not long enough so I signed up for the Group B ride on the Central Park The 6 Train course in New York City. As the clocked ticked down to the 11 AM start 1398 riders showed on the information board. I wasn&#8217;t expecting to stay near the front with the flyers. The ride was 4 laps totaling 16.37 miles and 915 feet of climbing. At the start I was in the 1090 to 1098 group but after a lap or so I fell back to 1150 to 1160 and at the finish I was 1172 out 1399.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I looked at the route on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/the-6-train\/\">ZwiftInsider.com<\/a><\/strong> it showed 200 feet of climbing per lap and I exceeded that. Most of the climbing was in the 5% to 7% range but one climb hit 11% on the first lap but the other three laps the max I saw was 10%. Not sure where that 1% went but I didn&#8217;t miss it. I rode the 10% climb sitting down for 3 laps but stood up on the last lap. That improved my position about 3 or 4 places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking Zwiftpower.com I was 643 out of 692 Group B riders. Group A had 1592 riders, Group C had 642 cyclists, and Group D (women only) 63 for a total of 2,940.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"865\" data-attachment-id=\"58273\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/2022\/01\/17\/stage-3-tour-de-zwift-nyc-central-park-the-6-train\/1-17-2022-tour-de-zwift-stage-3-results-group-b\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B.png?fit=1687%2C1216&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1687,1216\" 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=\"1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B.png?fit=600%2C432&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B.png?fit=800%2C577&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B.png?resize=1200%2C865&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tour de Zwift Stage 3 Group B partial results\" class=\"wp-image-58273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B.png?w=1687&amp;ssl=1 1687w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B.png?resize=600%2C432&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B.png?resize=800%2C577&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B.png?resize=640%2C461&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.texbiker.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/1-17-2022-Tour-de-Zwift-Stage-3-Results-Group-B.png?resize=1536%2C1107&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of years ago my son-in-law and I rented clunker bikes in Central Park and rode a couple of laps.
