In C we've got Everything Bagel. I think you have 2 laps of Rising Empire in B?
I have the badge, but I don't remember that course very well.
Yes like 750m of elevation and 40km it's going to be rough
That IS a tough course for a ZRL! We had two laps of it as part of an FRR series - the finish was at the last KOM banner, I believe.

Obviously, it's the KOMs that matter - the climbs forward and reverse are similar - important to note that the first ~1/3 isn't timed.

If it's a points race, I'd expect people to go reasonably on the initial bump and full beans on the segment. If it's a classic race, they'll just go all out on the whole thing. Both climbs are just over 5-5.5 minutes from ground level, and the segments 3-3.5 minutes.

The two laps will take over an hour, but just.

Could see it lasting over an hour very easily! Those glass nyc koms are nightmare fuel. Flat sections then 15-20% pitches. Should make for an interesting race at least!

Are you racing much on zwift atm Pete?

No, nearly not at all. Can't make Tuesdays work so no ZRL for me, and the racing scene appears to have been taken over by crit races. There's an occasional Zwift Epic that I can make on Fridays but apart from that I've supplemented racing for workouts.
