“Two Village Loop” Route Details (Makuri Islands)

Animated “Two Village Loop” Route Details (Makuri Islands) Map

Introduced in Zwift’s May 2021 Yumezi launch, Two Village Loop was originally the flattest route on the map. It takes you around the Castle and Village Onsen (hence the name), and along the way you’ll ride some short bits of road that aren’t often ridden via official routes. Enjoy!

Route Description

Route profile by ZwiftHub – the place to plan and track your route achievements!

Begin at the lap banner and quickly hang a right onto the dirt path which winds through the farmland flats. Wave hello to the farmers, and notice how the houses, tools, and automobiles here are rustic, but functional – everything has a purpose.

Once you’re back on the pavement you can have a go at the Country Sprint, then climb up to Village Onsen for a lap and a half around its outer roads. Many sights to see here!

Then we exit the village and turn onto the dirt road that takes us up through the beautiful Golden Forest. It’s every gravel rider’s dream virtual path!

Next, it’s time to have a go at your second sprint – the Village sprint. Give it all you’ve got, then descend to the start arch and do it all over again.

Great overview Eric !!
Thank you so much for providing these route details. It seems that the Country Sprint Segment is not correctly linked to the Strava Segment ? Or is there no such segment in Strava?
Keep on the great work!

Gravel bikes are a terrible option on this course. Far more tarmac than dirt. Source: me, dropped on the flats

I agree. With slightly lower average watts, my Felt AR + 808/Super9 beat my Canyon Grail by about 2 minutes.
