In reply to Roman. You are correct. All the 'eight' routes in Zwift form a figure 8, more or less. You can view it as two combined loops, or one big loop with a road through the middle.

Hey Eric, is this no longer a route only course? It does not show it in the description before clicking it but all the comments from 2022 say it is.

In reply to Charlie. I know. View the track from above. This is the lying number eight or the sign of infinity. Eights are also in other worlds.

I have a much simpler question: what's the "eight" in Eastern Eight? There are two roads ridden in both directions and one climb ridden in both directions, so perhaps it's 6 + 2 = 8? Who knows? No, seriously, who knows?

In reply to PockD. If you want to creat them for others, no thanks, they’ll be too many. If you want to ride it privately, there’s nothing stopping you riding literally anywhere you want to, you just aren’t going to get a badge for it

Today I have done the route but at the end, the countdown go to 10 000 meters, for a total of 61km and 500m ascend. But I have not the badge.

In reply to Daniel Underwood. Lead-ins aren't included in the route lengths (compare Roule Ma Poule and Casse-Pattes, same length and same XP bonus but quite different lead-ins). Even if they were, the XP bonus proportions still don't work out. I assume at this point that it's simply to incentivize riding this route when events use it, since that's the only way to get the bonus.

In reply to David B$. Because bigger look has a longer lead in which doesn't count towards xp

Seriously? 1345 bonus XPs for this route?! That’s on par with what is awarded for the PRL Half and Big Foot Hills routes, both of which are longer and have far more climbing. I guess I am not complaining but just wondering if what was posted is accurate or if there might have been a typo.

In reply to Nick. Sorry: I mean longer. Compare to something like Bigger Loop, which is 53.2km for bonus of 1060XP. This route is 51.7km for bonus of 1345XP. It is out of the ordinary.
