Zwift launched a set of Mystery Spinners in Watopia as a fun lead-in to the Big Spin 2026 series, so I thought it would be a fun challenge to create the shortest possible route that hits all 8 spinners.

The route, it turns out, is rather similar to the Four Horsemen in terms of the big climbs it hits, and the overall length and elevation gain. Strong riders will be able to finish the route in under 2.5 hours, while most riders can expect it to take 3+ hours to complete.
About Rebel Routes
“Rebel Routes” are Zwift rides not available on Zwift’s routes list, thus requiring manual navigation.
The reward for your rebel ride? Exploring a new route, knowing you’ve gone where few Zwifters have gone before. And a Strava segment rank in the tens or hundreds instead of the thousands! Rebel Routes are also included as a separate category on our Veloviewer Route Hunter leaderboard.
Route Description
Our basic ride plan is to knock out all the Mystery Spinners in and around downtown Watopia before heading up the Epic KOM, then finishing on Alpe du Zwift. Begin by choosing the Hilly Route, which will start you in downtown Watopia, and heading in the right direction up the Hilly KOM.
After finishing the KOM (spinner #1), take the KOM bypass to head back into downtown Watopia, then out to the Volcano for a lap of the circuit in a CW direction (spinner #2). Then it’s up the Volcano KOM for spinner #3, and out to Jarvis for the KOM and spinner #4.
That’s half the spinners done. Those are the easy ones. Now we need to do some climbing!
Head into Ocean Boulevard and take a right at Sequoia Circle to head up the Epic KOM forward. You’ll get spinner #5 at this KOM arch, then turn right to head up the Radio Tower KOM “bonus climb” for spinner #6.
Descend from the Radio Tower (it’s fast) and head down the Epic KOM the way you came up, except hang a right onto The Grade descent. Drop all the way down into Ciudad La Cumbre, then turn right toward the Jungle. Two spinners left!
A bit of flat road gets you to spinner #7, Stoneway Sprint Reverse. Now you have just one spinner left… but it’s going to take some work to get there! Get onto the Jungle Circuit, then turn left to head up Alpe do Zwift. Spinner #8 is at the top. Hup hup!
