I don’t fancy doing that twice in a race 🤪😬

Actually, very little of this route is has dirt roads. It’s confusing, I realize, because Zwift’s sand surface looks like dirt. But it rolls like tarmac!

There’s a stretch of dirt when you first hit Mech Island, at around 11km in. But that’s it, I think.

You definitely don’t want a gravel bike here. Road bike will be much faster.

What I can see on the video is:

6.5 till 9.4km
10.8 till 11.8
14.5 till 15.5
19 till 20.4
20.8 till 23.8

So this is 9.5 km on gravel roads.
Maybe a gravelbike could also be interesting on this route.

@Eric Schlange maybe this might also be an interesting feature on all the zwift routes to add a map with the gravel roads. Just an idea.

Love your work though, so we can be prepared to race!

The S/F is on a boat pier, then you descend to a beach, then it’s a long climb back to the boat pier… (???)

In looking through the comments below, I see a few others noticed this as well. At least I’m not the only one.

The discontinuity with the large body of water bothers me. As an example, before the last climb through the “pain cave”, you are next to the large body of water. You see boats that are the same elevation as you. Then you climb about 200 ft through the pain cave and never descend. Then you ride into the harbor and are seemingly at “sea level” again. The map makes it appear that all the water is connected. It is not an elevated lake. The elevation profile shows the city to be quite a bit elevated relative to other parts of the route. I have not noticed similar issues with other routes in Zwift before…all of the elevations seem to make sense. Again, maybe this only bothers me.
