Route and Climb of the Week Combined Into “Ride of the Week” Challenge

Yesterday, Zwift launched a change to the “Route of the Week” and “Climb of the Week” feature, combining them into a single challenge named “Ride of the Week”. Here’s how it works…

One Challenge, Two Rides, Lots of XP

The “Ride of the Week” challenge consists of a rotating selection of routes and climb portals. Each week, a fresh route is selected, as well as a fresh climb portal.

Ride one of them and you’ll earn a 250XP bonus. Ride both of them and you’ll earn an additional 500XP bonus!

Getting Started

Riding the featured route or climb in any fashion (in an event, as a workout, as a free ride, etc) will earn you completion credit and the XP bonus. You can only earn the bonuses once per week – that is, you will only get the XP bonus once when completing selected route and/or climb.

The best (and only) way to access the Ride of the Week selections and see your progress is via the challenge card on the homescreen:

From there, you can track your completion progress and choose a featured route or climb to ride:
