The Bambino Fondo is one of three fondo routes Zwift unveiled in January 2019 for its Zwift fondo series. Currently these are event-only routes, meaning they are only available for use in events and cannot be ridden on a freeride or individual workout.

Route Description
The Bambino Fondo is essentially these routes strung together:
We begin with a forward lap of the Flat Route, followed by a forward lap of the Hilly Route. Then we take Ocean Boulevard again, hanging a left at the windmills and climbing then descending into the Mayan Jungle.
Once around the jungle loop, then we climb back out, descend to sea level, and hang a left at the Italian Villas fountain to make our way toward the Volcano. Then it’s up to the top of the volcano, with our route ending at the KOM banner.
Anybody have route turn directions like the rebel routes?
Id like to practice this before the Fondo series.
Does it make sense to switch to the mountain bike for the jungle section?
If you are on your own, it’s faster. But if you are in a group it’s probably faster to stay with the group rather than lose them when you stop to change.
