Yea, it’s silly. Zwift needs to create a turnaround leading back the other direction. Then the course would be fun to ride on. The current course just ends.

Why not create a turnaround in one of the towns so it loops back to the circle near the start close to the desert banner. That would be a great course for group rides. Come on Zwift, you know you can do it! Thanks for your consideration.

Doing so would make a great course for group rides. Thanks for your consideration.

You could do what group rides used to do back in the days before Zwift had automatic routing during group rides and manually select the route. Once everyone gets to the Mayan jungle, have everybody in your peloton stop and exit the group ride, perform a U-turn, and head toward Google Springs. Regroup in the tunnel and ride together toward the LAX roundabout. It would be helpful if everybody wore the same kit. You will not have the chevrons or beacons, and other riders will be on the route, but it is doable and may even present a little fun change of pace. Most likely, it will be like the old days of herding cats on group rides.

Once you complete the Going Coastal route, the route badge, and the XP bonus, you continue on the current road heading toward the Mayan jungle. You will be in the area where the sasquatch is known to roam, so you can look for him or her. Good luck! If there is still time left for the group event, you will turn left or right randomly once you get to the jungle. During a recent group ride, half the group went left toward the Alp du Zwift climb while the others went toward the right. If you take your time and ride less than 30 KPH for the route, you will likely not make it to the jungle climb.

You’re right – it won’t be restricted to 10+ until Tour of Watopia ends. I’ll update all 8 routes so they don’t show a restriction for now…

I’m new to Zwift and completed this route last night as a level 3, became level 4 in the middle of the route. And I got the badge upon completion. I started the route from the Tour of Watopia and page, not sure if that affected it.
