Well, stage 1 seems to be over already ‘:D
But I still need the badges on stage 3 and 4 and a Neo 2T can’t hurt either so I will check those out :v:

The kit unlock doesn’t seem to work at the moment – you get the kit on event completion, but on your next ride it’s disappeared from your garage. Nice to go on some big group rides on unusual routes though.

Same issue here. Rode Short and Long routes on stages 1 and 2. Every time it unlocked the kit on ride completion, but it’s gone on the next ride.

I take it that “in-game” kit means just that. It’s only while “in-game”

Same here. It said on both stage 1 and 2 that I got the kit, but in my next Zwift session it wasn’t there.

Hi,

I have got a question who you can contact to review the results? On this event:
https://zwiftpower.com/events.php?zid=2508342

the current number one has only ridden “49:48″, and did not complete the whole distance. I guess it has something to do with the late joining? About that, I do love the idea, but the execution should be better. All (?) or at least a lot of late joiners are teleported to the leading group. This is so irritating. I would like to see a late joiner, joining a group further back so they cannot influence the ride.

Kind regards

I signed up for this Garmin event yesterday afternoon at 3 pm. but unlike other events (ZER, HERD, Zwift Academy, Neokyo Badge Hunt) I was not invited to join the ride. Am I missing something?

Hi,

Sometimes, for me, when I am in game and the ‘join now’ button does not show up, I go back to the companion app, click ungoing – or whatever you can call it – on event and a few seconds later I click join again. Almost immediately in game the join now button shows up.

Hi Eric. I completed 4 of the short and long Garmin series rides. Shirt unlocked but Zwift literally took it off my back 😡. Any idea why? I did enjoy the rides but would like my shirt’s back.
