When it was released in March 2018, the “Four Horsemen” covered all of Watopia’s timed climbs: the original Hilly KOM, Volcano KOM, Epic KOM, and Alpe du Zwift. Along the way it also covered (nearly) every bit of Watopian road.
The Fuego Flats and Titans Grove extensions were released after this route launched, so Four Horsemen is no longer a nearly complete tour of Watopia.

This is no leisure tour: be ready to work as you climb over 2000 meters in just under 90 kilometers! And be warned: hitting the Alpe after working your way over the previous climbs proves to be both a mental and physical challenge. Prepare yourself!
I was prepared for the climbing, i wasn’t expecting the hardest part of the route to be the 15km of gravel AFTER descending the alp. This surface “feature” makes the jungle loop unbearable for me, which makes the alpe inaccessible. I can’t see why anyone would think this feature is a good idea, I mean fine for short sections but the jungle loop is not a short section, and having to put out 200watts to maintain a speed below 30kmh on a downhill is just a farce. Swapping bikes mid route is a joke and I don’t want to climb… Read more »
Yeah, I wanted to turn Überpretzel into my first vCentury, but I cut the ride at 93 miles after descending the Alpe and realizing I didn’t know how to avoid the gravel. I’m absolutely going to pause the ride and switch over to a MTB for this route, because I agree that the gravel feature is not for me in virtual riding (although, strangely, I like it when riding with my kids IRL).
