Route Description

On ground level, this course is rolling, curvy, and scenic, allowing riders to enjoy the classic sites of Central Park. But don’t get too comfortable, as Zwift has thrown the reverse KOM (.7 miles, 5.9%) into this idyllic setting. Get ready to push up gradients that top out at 16%!
Hopelessly incorrrect distance and altitude. I selected this course in Zwift. It was 26.5mi and 2031ft before I was done. Definitely what I was expecting for a quick workout before work.
Rode this course 12/31/20 and it worked fine for me (Apple TV Zwift app). Distance and elevation was correct and it took about 45 mins. Perhaps you took a wrong turn?
Just attempted this course. Gave up after 17 miles. Was NOT awarded the route at the 14.1 mark so I stuck with it a bit in case i had read the Lead In info incorrectly. Pretty disappointing end to my week.
Similar story for me yesterday. 100% certain I selected this course and did not select a different turn or do a u turn during the ride. Zwift sent me on the route of Park Perimeter Loop, which I did 3 times and didn’t get the route badge for that either!
(on Android for anyone intereted)
I have just done this route 31/01/21 and also no badge. I selected the route but went up KOM (not reverse?) so thought something was wrong!
I did this 4 times before I got the badge.
Check that Zwift is not sending you the wrong way round. You also need to pass under the start and finish banners to complete the course.
If you are started the wrong way do a u turn and come back they the banner to start the circuit.
Badge confirmed, did SST short on this route and got the route award.
The Route description graph says NY KOM Reverse is 1.1 km @ 5.7% while to the left the segment detail says 1.1km @ 8.1%. One of those should be corrected. Good job !
The elevation quoted here is more than double the elevation of the actual Strava segment, but the distance is the same. 🤷♂️
21 miles and 1730 ft and still no badge. So tired of doing meetups that don’t put you anywhere near the start. You plan a ride knowing the quoted mileage and elevation. This is so frustrating. That’s the last NY badge I need and right now I don’t even care to do it again.
