Route Description
Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!
This route begins with the exact same 35.8km as Three Musketeers, tracing the three big loops on Zwift’s France map which avoid the Petit KOM while hitting all the sprints. But instead of ending at the Sprinteur Sprint (which we hit 4x on this route), we continue on and retrace those same three loops in the other direction to double our distance!
So this route covers all the roads and segments on these three loops, in both directions. There is 1 KOM (Aqueduc) and 6 Sprints (Sprinteur, Sprint du Cratère, Dos d’Âne, Pavé, Ballon, and Marina) on this route, and we hit each of these in both directions, sometimes multiple times. That’s why it contains a whopping 20 segment attempts.
What happens if someone earns all 14 segment jerseys? Will it break the game? We’ll probably never know, since this route is too long to hit all 14 within an hour (the segment leaderboard times only last up to 1 hour).
Completed the route, got the badge, but Strava segment does not show up for this ride. 🤔
Still not showing up in Strava????
When a glitch like this happens, you can still add it to Strava manually
They are talking about the activity failing to match the segment. Not much you can do when that happens.
The same here. No strava segment 🙁
Dang, this one isn’t even that bad for loopiness (what seems to cause most other segment fails)
I don’t think this route has enough banners.
Right?! This was fun to set up. 😜
Strava still not recognising the segment for the full route, just completed, went to 75 km no full route segment.
I think the Strava route is starting way down by the pens where the zwift route starts you near the first sprint so we won’t be seeing the Strava segment show up @Eric Schlange Can this be adjusted?
Or maybe it’s just the zwift hacks route but something isn’t lining up.
The Strava route matches the in-game route, as far as I can see. And it starts after the lead-in.
But Strava isn’t matching activities to the segment… I believe it’s the same issue that is causing other segments not to match. Something on Strava’s end… grrrr…
Thanks for the follow up.
This one doesn’t even have the doubling back or doing multiple loops of the same thing issue, strava segment matching problems worse than I thought.
It would be nice if Zwift would make all routes available in this day and age. Maybe even opening up Event only routes like the climb portal. Just saying I do like a variety of options. Might be a few of us that want to do the fondo routes, lol
Except for “event only” routes, you can access them all whenever you want. Just put them on “My List” in ZCA.
Rode this route with a pacer Bernie, started more than 6 km before the end of the route, completed it. No credit for completion. Is that typical?
I’m betting it is because the lead in is not part of the pacer route. Starting the route and timing are key. At that point, catch up to a pacer or slow down to join.
Like the 2.5 multiplier on long routes like this.
