“The Magnificent 8” route was rolled out with Zwift’s October 29th update, and was used as the route for the Halloween dinosaur costume scavenger hunt. It’s a mostly-flat route, with the only significant climb being the reverse Hilly KOM.

Bike Selection
This route is quite flat, with the only climb being the reverse Hilly KOM. This hill is short and shallow enough that a lightweight climbing setup does not give you even a 1-second advantage. So aero rules the day. Get the most slippery frame and wheels you can afford!
Route Description
The route begins in downtown Watopia, riding through the start/finish banner in the reverse direction. We ride around the volcano, across the land bridge, past the noisy waterfall and over the reverse Hilly KOM. (This is the only significant climb of the entire route).
Next, we hang a right onto Ocean Boulevard, then a left to Fuego Flats for a spin through the desert.
This brings us all the way around to a right turn onto the Ocean Boulevard/Epic KOM spur, where we make our way back to downtown Watopia for the finish.
Got disconnected in the middle of stage 1. So frustrating.
I can’t register myself to one of the stage 1 ‘s ride ..? It says it’s unavailable. No ride appears in the 3Events”. What should I do? I’m registered though for TOW…
Got disconnected 10 minutes ago after 5 km of stage 1. No inhouse w-lan problems. Try to start again at 8:00 p.a. I am frustrated too.
Appears this is no longer on Veloviewer. Or, perhaps it never was and I’m dreaming. Either way.
Hi Eric,
this route can’t be chosen for a meetup. Any idea?
Thanks for the fabulous work you’ve done by describing and commenting all of those routes. That’s just brilliant!
Cheers from Germany,
Jens
It’s event only.
Hi Eric, can we get this on ZwiftHub please? Thanks
Why is there still no badge?
No badge on this ride while Tour of watopia stage #1. How come?
Because it’s event only, so no badge
