New York’s “Knickerbocker” covers the same roads as the Astoria Line 8, with the KOM thrown in for good measure. (A Knickerbocker is simply a New Yorker, although the word itself has a long and interesting history.) This is the second-longest route on the NYC course.

I stayed on the correct route and rode 17.6 with no route completion. It’s definitely not working. When I looked on Zwift Companion app it had me going over a same section in the beginning twice that was not on the regular course but I didn’t do that on the actual course itself. I earned that badge!
