Minimum rates of climb/descent for VFR

In the U.S., is there any regulation that prescribes a minimum rate of climb
or descent for changes in altitude during VFR cruise flight? If I decide to
make a gradual climb from 4500 to 6500 feet westbound (gradual meaning 200 fpm
or so), is this allowed, or do I have to meet or exceed some minimum rate?
I'm familiar with the regulations that prescribe the proper altitudes to
maintain, but I don't see anything about rates of climb or descent.

Since you are not flying, why do you care? Pick any altitude you like
and type it in, you'll save valuable simulated flying time that way.

No, not in terms of VFR cruise.

No.. there are no regulations in Microsoft programming language that
prevent MX from climbing or descending at whatever rate he chooses under
CFR (computer flight rules).

Why? you don't fly.

No there are no regulations for climb or descent rates for VFR flight.

Actually, now that I think about it, there is a (physical) law that says the
Vertical Speed shall be no faster than the Air Speed. So I guess that would
put a bound on it.

Only true as long as you don't bust airspace or aircraft operating
limitations...

Well, neither one has much to do with a vertical speed limit.
