Checking the available worlds France wasn&#8217;t listed so I thought I would need to create a meetup. As I scrolled the upcoming events in the Zwift companion app Stage 4 of the Tour de Zwift was starting at noon. Looking at the ride groups, group B was riding the France Roule Ma Roule route. My want was satisfied. I signed on and waited. I rode this route twice before, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/29077352\">January 9th, 2022<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sporttracks.mobi\/activity\/27585345\">January 23rd, 2021<\/a><\/strong>. It would a refresher after a 2 year absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roule Ma Poule is essentially the reverse version of the Casse-Pattes route, covering the full outer loop in a counter-clockwise direction with a different start\/finish location atop the Petit KOM. (from ZwiftInsider.com) This will be my third ride on this route. the last one was January 9th, 2022. The distance: 16.9 miles and 863 elevation gain. The first .28 miles is flat followed by a 1.75 long climb gaining 352 feet. The downhill is 1.76 miles going onto a 1.42 mile long flat. The short .68 mile climb gains 68 feet. From the top of that hill to the bottom of the last climb is 8.68 miles. The last climb repeats part of the opening climb to the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two Strava PR&#8217;s: <strong>PR<\/strong>\u00a0on\u00a0<a
