“LaGuardia After Party” Route Details (New York)
This race route takes you six times around LaGuardia Loop before heading onto the glass roads for a go at the New York KOM Reverse. It starts off pretty flat, but has a sting in the tail!

Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
Starting at the pens, you’ll ride down through the main lap arch and onto the LaGuardia circuit to begin your laps. Once you hit the NY Sprint arch for the first time, you can count 6 full loops of the circuit, with each loop ending in a short kicker that leads you into the downhill sprint.
Once you’ve finished your sixth loop, you’ll hang a left onto the glass roads and make your way skyward. This route ends with 111m of elevation gain across ~2km of climbing, meaning your average gradient will be around 5.5%. But that doesn’t tell the whole story, as this climb is significantly steeper, with five flat spots spaced semi-evenly throughout.
Good luck!

Route badge is working but I see Strava section is not responding.
My guess is it’s the same issue Strava is having with other multi lap routes like Deca Dash…
There is a weirdly named “Zwift Segment” that matched it on my ride today: https://www.strava.com/segments/39086492
New York routes really get my goat! In fact I try to ignore them because they are so NOT NY. All they are is variations in a theme in Central Park. They are not LaGuardia Airport, or even LaGuardia College, for that matter.They are not in any other place than Central Park. Those that have no clue about NYC might find it fine. But I feel the creators really let us down on this particular bunch of routes. The perimeter loop is about the best they came up with. I’ve ridden Central Park many times in my life. The NYC loops are thoroughly disappointing
You’re telling me there isn’t an elevated glass road in Central Park!?
That’s it i’m cancelling my trip to NY!
Bummer.
yeah, i feel your frustration, there could have been some cool routes going out over the bridges to surrounding areas/boroughs. its like the rushed this world and compromised with elevated roads, instead of expanding it out.
Yeah – ~70 blocks dodging traffic and double parked cop cars Frogger style then onto the joy of hitting the G Dub and routes north. Could really gamify, so you have to escape on a Citibike with the obligatory half-flat tire without getting squashed before you’re allowed to hit the sweetness of Hudson drive / river road on a race bike.
Perhaps “New York” was just mislabeled. It’s really “Central Park” with an overhead sci-addition. The ground level routes aren’t so bad.
I wonder if the Parisians have a similar opinion about Paris? (This was just TDF Paris)
The condensed France of French-like rural objects turned out better.
London has a 40 km wormhole subway to get to a condensed Surrey Hills National Landscape. That seemed pretty OK.
The rides in Watopia are much more true to the actual world, I would stick to those.
Just wait to you hear that Box Hill is actually 37km away from tower bridge in the real world…
Boring route that. Nobody likes doing 6 loops of anything (surely?)
Thumbs down me if you agree…
It’s good training for the PRL Full.
Zwift has almost 200 routes – they are not all designed for the same thing. This one is designed primarily as a race course testing a punchy climbing finish for the current months Z-racing series. If thats not interesting to you, fine – its up to you whether you want to spend less than an hour of your life riding it for another reason or not.
I think it makes for a good points race. LaGuardia loops are good for that anyway. You have the sprinters taking down the sprints, and then a heavily weighted FIN for the climbers.
If you click on the link to the strava segment from this page strava says “The requested segment could not be found” hmm?
Strava link is broken
See the comment above yours.
I think eric commented somewhere else that he made the segment but he is unable to make it public because there is another public virtual ride segment somehow for the same gps points/route.
