I was just looking through Strava and saw some rides with 100+ people and average speeds in the region of 25mph. Seems like a flat course in a big ol' peloton would be a good way to rack up miles and XP.
AFAIK, you get 30 XP/mile automatically. Under some circumstances you get more, like if you got a 'Ride On' or such.

You also accumulate 'Drops' which is the currency of Zwift. Ride with one of the Pace Partners and the longer your ride with them, the higher the ratio of drops/mile gets, up to like 1.6.
