Wow, six years ago. It is still the best feature on Zwift by far.

It’s possible the MacReady is a reference to the John Carpenter movie The Thing starring Kurt Russell

Any chance of a post outlining the different prizes available from the prize wheel? Thanks!

In reply to Indrek Mannik. Same here, 27 times up (according to strava segment), but still do not have the badge.

Why would Zwift choose to set the end at the tourist version rather than the Tour de France version. I find that such a strange decision.

In reply to Brent Whitson. Definitely not in a single ride - it's cumulative.

To get the Masochist Badge, do you need to climb Alp Du Zwift 25 times in one ride or do they keep track of how many times you’ve been up from different rides?

In reply to Eric. I've been seeing the power points and aso the countdown timers. I'm looking for details on this: When do the countdowns start? are the countdowns the same for everyone or ar they variable depending on your FTP? Would be nice to get some detail on this. Have searched a bit but not found anything.

In reply to Eric.

The power ups should be awarded where there is a “ride on” thumb painted on the road. There is one near the end of the first tunnel, one under the crane, and one under the 2nd tunnel.
In the past, there used to be timers that show up on the map indicating how much more time you have to get to the power ups. I have not seen those timers for a while now.
I rode up the Alpe today, and didn’t receive any power ups.
