The 100-mile
Discover Hudson Valley Ride route on 25 June 2023 has 5822ft of climbing. At 100 miles, that's 58.22ft of climbing per mile. I took that tidbit and looked for a couple of routes on Zwift that have about 58ft per mile of climbing (+/- 15%) to train on. If anyone is preparing for the same ride and is on Zwift, I hope this info helps.
