Today Zwift took a new mission live, dubbed the L’Etape du Tour de France Mission. It’s another fun “carrot” to help motivate us to log some solid training in the coming weeks!
Mission Description
To complete this mission, you must ride the same distance and elevation of the real-life L’Etape du Tour de France over the course of 23 days between July 6th and July 28th.
That means riding 135 kilometers (83.8 miles) and climbing 4,563 meters (14,970′).
Any ride on Zwift counts. If you’re having a hard time logging those miles, join one of Zwift’s many group events to help you rack up the kilometers or elevation.
Unlocks
Riders who complete the mission will unlock the in-game Rapha x Étape du Tour cap.
Note: finish the 2019 Zwift L’Etape du Tour event and get the full Rapha kit to match!
Prizes
Everyone who completes the mission will be entered into a drawing to win one of three 2019 Rapha x Étape du Tour kits.
How to Sign Up
Just log into Zwift like you’re beginning a ride/run. The mission will appear at the top-left of the start screen. Click “Join Mission”. That’s it!
You’ll be notified in-game and by email when you have completed the mission.
Going to be hitting some of the hillier routes to complete this one!
Do you have to select this Mission Like Ride California or Mount Everest?
Or do they combine?
Missions are different than Challenges. Missions like this one are usually short (2-4 weeks). Challenges are in-game and we’ve had the same three challenges basically since Zwift launched.
You can do both at the same time.
There’s a single selection from a box on left hand side of the ‘ride’ page after you’ve paired your devices. I’ve done one ride since selecting and have clocked up both ascent and distance towards the mission.
Eric – thanks – just joined up. Distance is easy, alt – let’s see. FYI – there is a dup in the article “To complete this mission, you must ride the same distance and elevation of the real-life L’Etape du Tour de France over the course of 23 days between July 6th and July 28th.”
Fixed, thanks James!
What time zone is this in. I.e. on the Australian east coast will this end at midnight on the 28th or some time on the 29th?
