You should call out the fact that this route is the first event-only route in Zwift to have a completion badge. Also, you need to update your table of all routes to show XP points for the badge.
On my to do list! Had to chat with ZHQ first about it to get more details since event-only route badges would be big news…
When will this route be available? I haven’t seen in any up coming events
Watch this space, Hova z. Announcement coming Monday!
Today’s L39ion LA practice crit event is on Neokyo Crit!!! 11am pacific
I would prefer this segment to be one lap from the end of the Alley Sprint (the banner) and not the start light (which I remember from an early race or two)
Is that why the Strava segment says “Old”?
Would love a proper “New” one.
Even if it’s event only, this route is available at any time if you use ZwiftPref 🙂
The Strava segment link above goes to Wandering Flats, though!
I’ve just installed ZwiftPref, but I can see how to select this route? Can you help!
There no Strava segment for this course yet (I guess that’s why Wandering Flats is listed instead?). Use ZwiftPref to access the route!
This route was +90 XP.
Not the biggest fan of flat crits, I think the popularity of dolphin lap compared to bell lap shows that I’m not alone with that sentiment but we will see. More routes is always nice.
Yes of course, I worded it badly. I personally think a kicker like the one in dolphin makes crits much more interesting. The elevation is of course the same but the dynamic is different.
The problem is that on Zwift a flat course is just like an unending straight… On Dolphin lap the gradient changes actually replace the real world turns a bit.
Now we just need Zwift physics to finally introduce some speed reduction for sharper bends, needing a quick burst of power to get back to race speed after the corner.
I always feel like the 180° turn at the end of Pall Mall scrubs off some speed and I have to add power. I don’t get that on any other corners though
Not a great fan of these Crit Courses. I’m too old to race with all these younger athletes!! Therefore I am a little perplexed as to why you have to do the ‘event’ in order to achieve the badge! I little unfair, I think!!
That’s just for the L39ION Crit Series. Zwift had it done wrong for the first race, so they changed it to a distance-based thing and moved it out for the second race.
So, how do you check for events on this route short of wading through the daily events?
Didn’t get the route badge after finishing the Tour de Zwift stage at Neokyo Crit Course. Strange. Has anyone experienced the same? (And Zwift support doesn’t help, just bots.)
Interesting I was going to ride this later, but with it not appearing on the veloviewer leaderboards, and now potentially not getting the route achievement, maybe i’ll do standard instead of short.
I just did this route on TdZ and I did get the badge. You get it when you complete the first lap
Segment for this course is not on the veloviewer leaderboards, is this because it is event only?
The Strava segment does start and finish at the in game start and finish line. I think the Strava segment starts and finishes at the start of the sprint.

Hmmm, why are votes not allowed on these comments?
Works for me, if I’m signed in when I click it.

That’s the same route just reversed isn’t it?

you mean like London has…
London does this?

Maybe one day we’ll have age group races?
2021-12-10, 6:45am PST Bicycle Way of Life Fri-yay Ride (D) social ride on a Crit course for 60 minutes. Not a race. 🙂
There are non-race “events” on this one, not to mention Tour de Zwift this month
Just finished all the Neoyko courses. But still have to do the Neoyko Grit course. Would like to know when I can do it.
Anyone notice the finish line keeps changing on this route? Last week it was in front of the banner, this week behind the banner…

There’s a link above called “See Upcoming Events on This Route >”. Links to ZwiftHacks, which is the place to go to search for events. https://zwifthacks.com/app/events/?route==Neokyo%20Crit%20Course
Will this be added to veloviewer route quest thing?

Yes.

Just updated the segment to a fresh one. Apparently Zwift adjusted the start/finish line on this route…
