“Double Span Spin” Route Details (New York)
Released in October 2025 as part of the Prospect Park expansion to Zwift’s New York map, this route focuses on the new roads crossing the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. It’s a circuit that begins with a lead-in from Prospect Park, then keeps riders on the two bridges riding CCW for as many laps as you’d like!

Route Description
Events begin with a long lead-in from the Prospect Park start pens. You’ll turn left out of the pens to quickly exit the park, then ride around Grand Army Plaza and descend Flatbush Avenue to enter the Brooklyn Subway section.
Give the 5-second Power Segment near the end of the subway a go, then climb out and head up the corkscrew road to the Manhattan Bridge. Your lead-in ends over the East River, at the green arch at the Manhattan Bridge’s midpoint. This is also your route finish line.
From the start/finish arch you’ll descend the other side of the Manhattan Bridge, turn around in Manhattan, and begin the Brooklyn Bridge KOM. This KOM ends at the midpoint of the Brooklyn Bridge as you cross the river once more into Brooklyn.
Descend the other side of the bridge, then turn around and hit the corkscrew road once more to make your way across the Manhattan Bridge. Go all-in for the sprint… then go for another lap. Why not?
This is showing as 7.3km on Strava. Maybe there’s a long lead in
There is!
Tried this route yesterday in a group meeting, and we were all stucked at 0-1km/h for something like 300m while arriving at the left 90° corner in Soho. Really strange, and that occured at exactly the same spot for each loop
Happened several times last few days at same spot, different route. Last turn before BBridge approach from Manhattan side.
Just reported this to Zwift so somebody will check it out.
David and Andy, were your rides rubberbanded, or not?
Correct, my meetup was scheduled by my club, so rubberband was activated
Did Double Span Spin route today and it is only 7.2km long including the lead in with 80m elevation. Route details suggest it is 7km [80m elevation] plus 5.6km lead in [40m elevation].
Have posted on the forum as well on Meetup riders just stopped – New York Expansion [November 2025]
Just ignore my posts. I just did the route without the lead in.🙄
