Can you please consider adding a descent segment from the RADIO TOWER because this is so often decisive with the kickers on the downhill and yet there is only a descent from the Epic and that doesn’t register anyway when coming down from the Radio Tower in the forward direction as it’s past the banner.

would be great.

Hi Eric! Any news about the buggy Alpe du Zwift segment? I reported it as well in the support forum a few days ago. No answer so far.

That’s how I use it as well. Sort of wish there were a way to set the default to “show my results” instead of having it be “all time results” and I have to scroll down to “my results” every time I open a segment. All I want to do is see how much more slowly I did today’s effort than my best. Don’t care how fast elite riders are doing it. Maybe it’d be different with an IRL segment that only a few people do (and that I compete with others for). On Zwift, that’s not something that is going to happen.

I like to track where I am as a percent, like top 10%, top 5%, this is useful info. It doesn’t really matter that there are fake efforts at the top if you look at it this way.

Fair and good point. I suppose it’s just the leaderboards on Strava for Zwift segments that are useless. The segments themselves are still useful.

Even if I’m nowhere near the top (I am 4th on one, though!!), it’s nice to see where you fall in the scheme of things. And it’s a shame that the leaderboards for the segments we all know and begrudgingly love are messed up beyond meaning.

OK. More than one mindset on Zwift. Some not at all like mine. 😁

If I have to stop and come back the next day, I personally don’t consider that completing that route. To me, that’s the essence of the challenge of a long-distance ride.

I’ve done IRL and Zwift centuries. If nothing else, I don’t want to contaminate my Eddington number. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Eddington#Eddington_number_for_cycling

Perhaps my mindset has been brainwashed by (Strava shared) events that have timed starts and finishes, For example, I did a 10K turkey Trot run today. There was an option to do it virtually. But it won’t be accepted to do 6K of it on Thursday and 4K another day.

(There was also a 6K Turkey Trot option for those who didn’t want to do the 10K. Plus a 6K walking registration for those who did not want to run it.)
