In reply to Fons Vandamme. Same - you need to pass the Fuego Flats KOM again and then you get the badge at 70.1km.

I just did the full route this evening and I got the badge after 70.1km and 714 meters of elevation gain.

In reply to Donna.

Check your route badges–if you’ve previously completed it, you’ve already received the one-time bonus 1340 XP. If you show it open, then you probably didn’t actually finish it. This route has a bit of lead-in distance which isn’t reflected in the route distance. Annoying, but the rule of thumb is don’t ever assume you’re “done” at a particular distance. You’re “done” when passing whatever formal banner or arch designates the end of route. My personal most-hated are a couple routes in NY, London and Innsbruck where you have to ride a decent distance AND climb a significant hill just to get to the “start”, often having to go back up that same climb a SECOND time to reach the “finish”.

In reply to Jon. You should get the XP as you go along the route. Every KM or Mile gets you another 20 or 30 XP (depending on which unit of measure you use). It doesn't all come to you at the end in one go. Also, if you've done it before then you dont get it again. Hope that helps

I have to say I was extremely impressed to find the ride today was extremely enjoyable I watch my Cadence and my heart rate instead of watching the incline. The only time I push my heart rate was to set a new PR on the time trial. I fell as good at the end of the ride as the beginning. I would like to figure out how to add more power at the higher Cadence I I haven’t figured that out yet. I have learned a lot which I intend to use in my future rides to get better. The majority of my ride was in my zone 2 heart rate. This was an excellent training camp and I enjoyed it very much thank you and happy birthday coach David

Did this route this morning but didn’t get the 1340XP
Any ideas anyone?
