Route Description
Events begin from the Times Square start pens, or free rides will begin near the Times Square lap arch. Either way, you’ll travel straight south from Times Square, descending into the City Hall Station subway to take on a 10-second power segment.
Up the escalator, you’ll find yourself back in the open air, just in time to take on the Brooklyn Bridge KOM. Go hard to chase that polka-dot jersey, then descend the other side for a quick turnaround, taking the corkscrew road up to the Manhattan Bridge to cross the East River once again.
Re-enter City Hall Station, hit another 10-second Power Segment, then climb out and ride through the center of Zwift’s futuristic Times Square before entering another subway which features a 20-second Power Segment in this direction.
Soon after that segment you’ll climb out of the subway, enter Central Park, then quickly turn onto the glass roads to begin climbing the NY KOM Reverse. Go all-in on the climb, descend the other side to the paved ground-level roads, then take on the NY Sprint Reverse for that green jersey.
Then it’s back onto the glass roads for a go at the NY KOM before descending once again, riding through the subway with its 5-second Power Segment, then riding through Times Square for the finish.
Just letting you know you’ve this route listed as a double up of Spinfinity Ultra on the Master Route List Thanks for the updates 🙂
Fixed, thanks!
Any idea how we can access the route as part of our own club event?
Word is it’ll be public after Unlocked Series is finished
The animated map at the top, from ZwiftHacks, is broken for me on this and some of the other (but not all) new NY routes.
What’s the fastest bike for this route?
I thought I was going mad after those 2 KOM climbs. Caught me out so I’m glad this wasn’t a race
I did this route this morning, and it was 31 miles (not km) and over 1800’ of climbing. I got the badge at about 1:28. What happened?
There’s a finish line bug, apparently. Not sure how it’s broken exactly… or if there are other issues.
I’m not really familiar with the segments and landmarks, but it seemed like I got looped around to somewhere else when I was expecting to start those two really painful climbs at the end. I kept wondering if maybe the Ghostbusters reference was indication that there was something fishy about the course…… 🙂
It looks like the bug is until you are within 600 meters of the Times Square Arch the route thinks the finish line is 600 meters short of the full route, once you hit the phantom finish line, the distance counter jumps from “0” to .6k, after which it is correct. Not so bad on the bike, but it almost killed me sprinting for the line during the Times Square Loop run
Does this route have a “BADGE”? I’m not seeing it listed in the game. It looks like on this page you say it’s a Badge and also on your master list that it is.
If it does have a badge how can we see that badge?
Yes, it has a badge (I see it in my list, among the other New York routes).
I’m sorry. I too see it now. Just didn’t remember doing it so I guess I was looking for a badge I hadn’t completed. Sure wish Zwift had a better way of tracking badges.
