I only had the PRL Full left…and the ODZ boys were doing the route today. “Great, I can have some company and ride some wheels occasionally to get done faster!”
Was riding great, feeling good…85 niles in and my PC crashed ion me…was literally 22 miles from completing all the Route Badges and now I have to do the whole PRL Full again…but solo this time.
I feel your pain. I have slowly been chipping away at the routes. I think I have ~10 to go. I plan on finishing with the PRL Full. I keep skipping routes to ride outside or do Zwift group rides
If you’re not in a rush to get it done, keep an eye on Zwiftpower or Zwifthacks for events scheduled for the PRL Full route. Another option might be posting on the Zwift forum to find others for a Meetup. Many Zwifters here as well on TR, maybe some will chime in and you can get some company for parts if not all of the ride.
Check our ZwiftInsider and team DIRT. Both are setting up Meet Ups / group rides for the longer route badges. Not sure when the PRL Full is up but I’m definitely interested. I have that and the Uber Pretzel left, plus 25 laps of the volcano and 25 times up the Alpe left.
My last two routes have been incompletes due to Zwift issues. Both were short routes (Lady Liberty - misrouted …go figure? and Highline: got nothing). I was kinda pissed about each of those. I can only imagine what would happen if something like a Zwift crash towards the end of PRL
Props for getting back at it so quickly and knocking it out
A hearty handshake, a pat on the back and the warm glow of completing it.
A lot of them have a “lead in” section, which is not represented in the mileage. Can be a bit annoying on some routes because you might budget a certain amount of time based on what is listed and it not be correct. But when you click on a route in the route list and you see the preview to the right, if there is a lead-in section, it will be in blue and it will then switch to white when the actual route starts. So at least there can be a heads-up that there is additional mileage.
But yeah, the simple answer is to just include the lead-in mileage with the route mileage. Not exactly rocket surgery.
The Lutscher route is also terribly under reported in the Zwift list–there’s an extra 10.9km on a 13.7km route and it also doubles the elevation from 401m to 828m.
OMG…yes, THIS!! You need to allocate liken an extra half-hour or more vs. what the stated mileage may indicate. I had to bail on it my first time because I didn’t have enough time to complete it vs. what I had planned.
I am a true fashsionista…I try to match my bike to my kit, depending on the day.
Think it still takes the same amount of climbing…just depends how much climbing you want to do. I will admit to hacking the system though…before I joined TR and I was using Zwift workouts, I would always select a route with the Alpe in it…workout was the same (watts is watts), but you didn’t “feel” like you were climbing.
