@Eric Schlange I’ve been riding this route the last week on the TT bike for some quick XP. Are you aware of any shorter loops (Rebel Route or otherwise) that include a sprint or start/finish banner for grabbing some XP while on the TT bike? Also, can one get the 250XP bonus while on the TT bike? I’ve very rarely seen the 250XP bonus on Zwift (TT bike or otherwise) during my use of Zwift. Thanks!

In reply to Jimmy. Agreed. If it's two complicated, Zwift could at least provide it to event promoters.

With such a huge proportion of Zwifters never doing group activities, I think it would be really good for Zwift to add more new short routes like this – especially in Watopia – to give something new for the badge hunters.
With the many short route Makuri Islands, it seems they realised that most of us don’t have time to complete the longer routes, and it’d be nice to have a load of new ones to complete in Watopia.

In reply to Carsten Re. from Germany. They should make a route with finish at the radio tower finally. Very few climbers routes in Zwift that end at the top of a climb. Actually there's just three I think: Alpe, Ven-Top and The Lutscher.

How about adding the rebel routes to Zwift hub?

In reply to Martijn ten Ham. No way ... too much climbing for Eric ... but you are right Martijn, this would be a (hardcore) course for the pure climbers with a seldom uphill finish at the KOM Banner ... and I would call it the "Epic Roller Coaster"

How about doing the same with Epic KOM? Up/down Epic, then turn right before bridge onto Epic Bypass and go up Epic again. Kind of like Lutscher

In reply to Eric Schlange. Sounds great Eric ... so, let's hope that ZHQ will like one or both routes, too ... for our "punchy race fun"
