Watopia’s “Road to Ruins” was added with the Mayan jungle expansion in late October 2017. It begins just like the Jungle Circuit, but takes you to the Volcano Flat and back home to the start/finish banner instead of leaving you riding jungle laps.

Assuming you went with a road bike, is aero best or aim for an all-rounder setup?

Too much. I hate this route. Dirt and gravel seriously impacts speed on fat guys in Zwift. 😂
YMMV.
