Today I chose a route that I have not rode before, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/zwiftinsider.com\/route\/farmland-loop\/\">Makuri Islands Farmloop Loop<\/a><\/strong>. It is short at 4.8 miles and 187 feet elevation gain. I wanted to ride more miles so I took 4 laps. A lap counter would&#8217;ve be nice. I saw one in event once. This totaled 19.71 miles and 751 feet elevation gain. Not too hard. No sprints but one climb each lap. The climb topped out at 336 feet. In Makuri Islands we ride on the left side of the road. Steering will not move to the right of the yellow line in the middle of the road. I use the Play controllers to steer. On the climb there is one spot for a few feet with 13% gradient when I rode on the left edge of the road. I wondered if I rode at the center if the 13% was still there. On the last lap I rode at the center of the road and I think the gradient at that spot was 11% or 12%. Switch backs are usually the steepest in the tightest bend. Maybe this does that in Zwift and riding wide reduces the gradient some. As a flatlander I need all that help. After today&#8217;s ride I am almost to level 32.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a
