“Fuhgeddaboudit” Route Details (New York)
First, there was Everything Bagel, the longest route in New York at just under 35km. Later, Zwift would release two event-only routes that were even longer. But in October 2025, “Fuhgeddaboudit” said “hold my martini” and came out at 79km! It’s quite a ride, covering (almost) all the roads on the map, including some in both directions!

Route Description
Events on this route begin in the Prospect Park start pens with a quick lead-in to the lap arch, which serves as the route’s start/finish line. You’ll ride most of a CCW lap of the park, hitting the Peristyle Sprint and The Hill KOM before heading north through the Brooklyn Subway with its 5-second Power Segment and across Manhattan Bridge with its sprint.
Then it’s back into the subway for a 10-second Power Segment before riding straight through the middle of Times Square and into Subway 1, which hosts a 20-second Power Segment in this direction. Take the escalator up and out, and you’ll find yourself in Central Park. Settle in: you’ll be here for the next 30km, covering every road in the park!
Your time in Central Park starts off with a bang: hit the glass roads right away and take on the NY KOM Reverse. Then you’ll continue to wind your way around the park, covering all the glass and paved roads until you exit on the south end, where you came in.
Now it’s time to retrace our steps: heading into the subway, which hosts a 5-second Power Segment in this direction. Finish off the remaining roads of Times Square Circuit. Back into the City Hall subway for a 10-second Power Segment, then cross the East River, using the Brooklyn Bridge this time, which includes a KOM segment in this direction.
Ride through the Brooklyn subway for a 20-second Power Segment, then up to Grand Army Plaza for a quick loop that turns you around to head back into the subway for another 5-second Power Segment. (Sorry, did you think you were almost finished?) Ride over the two bridges in the directions you haven’t covered yet, then come back through the subway and around the Plaza before entering Prospect Park and finishing the course at the lap banner.
Whew. That’s a long lap. How about another? Fuhgeddaboudit…
Hot take: we can’t help but wonder if Zwift made an error in designing or coding this route. Our theory is that the turnaround at Grand Army Plaza ~64.5km in was actually supposed to be a turnaround that took you into Prospect Park, then onto Central Drive – the only stretch of road in NYC not covered by this route – then back up and out of Prospect Park. This would have made it so the route covers all NYC roads, and it would have stretched it past the 80km mark.
We’ve asked ZHQ, but so far, mum’s the word…
Oh, boy… 2hrs minimum. Let’s see what it is.
Is there achievement badge XP for this route?
Yeah, 1595 XP. Added above!
I missed the diametrical alley in Prospect Park.
Yeah, that is odd. Don’t know why they left out Center Drive, but because they did the route is actually not covering all the roads on the map.
Actually slightly annoyed they didn’t quite cover every road (and that it ended at 49.1 miles given that) – the little cut through in prospect park is missing. Given it finishes in Prospect Park, I guess I’ll add that on manually, to finish every road and bring it up to a full 50mi!
Pour me a Manhattan and serve it with pastrami on rye… USMeS will more than double this one on Saturday for 100 miles/162km
Thanks for the ride! definitely a thing for the future when I’m better at it.i hope Zwift doesn’t fix the missing road as it was long enough to begin with.
Having just ridden this route and having ridden the PRL Full two weeks ago it is strange how much more boring the New York roads are. The glass roads take away any sense of riding in real life, might as well just ride ERG. It is also brings into question what the point of making a GPS accurate New York is when half of the time is spent floating in the air above a Times Square that would be underwater before riding in a series of tunnels that mostly resemble the Vegas “Hyperloop”. Neokyo works much better as a fictional representation of a future city because it was designed for Zwift first and as the glass roads are used sparingly.
Not sure what happened since the Southern Coast Expansion in Watopia but the latest two expansions seem to focus on looking good in screenshots rather than being interesting while riding.
Agreed. I dislike the New York elevated routes mainly because the game freezes every time I attempt the KOM archway.
I agree on the glass roads, but I’m liking the new tunnels.
This would be great except it’s out of bounds for me as is any route that includes the KOM archway in Central Park. Everytime I attempt it the game freezes and I have to abandon. Every. Single. Time. I’ve just tried to do the Stay Puft Pursuit route and the same happened again. Route froze on the same KOM segment. I’ve reported this to Zwift over 8 times (yes really) and they’ve not even acknowledged that there is an issue. I have no issues with any other route on Zwift and the NY routes are the only ones stopping me from a clean sweep.
That’s odd, and not a bug I’ve heard of anyone else having. (If it was widespread at all, Zwift would get on fixing it pronto, I’m sure.)
Question: have you tried a full uninstall of Zwift, then reboot and re-install? What device are you running Zwift on? Does it crash at all anywhere else?
Weirdly I raced the ZRL race up the KOM both ways and it was fine—but doing this route today it was incredibly freezy up the KOM. Was totally fine after. Maybe something with this route and the KOM for some reason?
I recently completed this ride (11 Dec, 2:15 PM) and no badge was issues I would appreciate it if someone from Zwift would look into this and sort it for me. Not much to ask for my £180 subscription. Oh, and give me the 1595 XP. The issue was that my iPad ran out of power and when I restarted it, although the mileage was right all the route info was lost. I needed to manually make the turns. Also on a previous occasion, on my NEW iPad Pro , IOS26.1, the routing on the NYC KOM hung.
You’ll need to contact Zwift support to get that resolved. This is just a fan site!
Did this ride yesterday and added on the central drive at the end to make sure I had covered every inch of tarmac/glass. Pretty nice route, although the sky loops got a bit dull.
Just finished this. 80.3 km, climbed 963m, and no route badge!!
whaddayaveterdo to get fuggedaboutit?!
It all went wrong after I had gone c. 42900 metres. There was a fork in the route, options being ‘Park Loops reverse’ and ‘Baseball fields’. Inexplicably i was sent down Park loops, this was the moment the ‘Fuhgeddaboutit’ profile disappeared, replace by Park loops.
Maybe one day I will try it again, but no rush, it is not the most exciting route on planet Zwift!
