In reply to Annia. I did The Snake yesterday and there are a number of inaccurate elements to the existing directions. Part of it is the addition of new roads like Repack Ridge and that short road past the bridge near the sprint, but there seem to be some directions that are just incorrect. A careful review may be in order.

I have an idea to extend the route to use the new Southern Coast Road. From Desert Flats turn left onto Southern Coast Road, continue through the Jungle and Epic KOM bypass, descend down and turn right towards Desert Flats, then left onto Titans Grove. From there follow the regular "The Snake" route to the top of Volcano KOM and then retrace your path back to Desert Flats arch. From the arch continue to the turnaround, go back to the arch to finish. I rode this yesterday and it was a great route, it almost doubles the distance of The Snake. 147 km / 91.6 mi total with 1,200 m / 4,000 ft of climbing. I called it "Big Rattlesnake" because the desert turnaround resembles the head and the Volcano climb resembles the tail.

In reply to Eric Schlange. Turn #24 needs updating. It should read “ Islands” and not Italian Village”. Also turn #25 needs updating.

In reply to Kerry Davies. Sorry 25 & 26 were new too, so should be marked with ***

I think there are quite a few changes here, I was frantically scribbling as I rode and this is my best effort at all the turns (with what the other option is, and whether they are manual turns for the vast majority, although I might not have got all the manual turns noted).

The turn by turn instructions need updating. After 11 there is a second Right Straight Volcano KOM needed. And after 22 (which will be 23) a Left Straight Jagged Peak (or something like that) is required as there is now an mtb option on the right.

I liked the route 🙂

It would be desirable to include this route in https://zwiftinsider.com/rebel-routes/

And also at https://zwiftinsider.com/verified-zwift-strava-segments/
