Did the pack group ride in Bologna yesterday, was in two minds but it was up down and back to the base of the climb for the group ride, then an afterparty if you choose. Coming down i got 102kph without even trying, so got my badge. I thought i already had it but clearly not! Also pack rides only have 2 powerups, aero helmet or 250XP so got a 250XP through one. Recommend their rides, the social ones are 2-2.2 and they have easier ones that are < 2 (they claim about 1.5-1.7 but it does vary) but great for a little recovery spin and i sometimes drop off back and help pace people back on those.
Think might be doing the 3R 160km tomorrow with a friend. 3hr45 @ 3.0-3.2wkg. Solid ride.

Just a thought, if you do Lutscher in either direction, could you not just turn round once you’d done that direction, and basically do the opposite direction without the lead-in? You’d get a quick downhill at the start.
There isn’t much of a lead in for the first climb, even though route doest start until the top and when you descend, you go directly into the second climb. I suppose there’s a bit tacked on the end of the second descent, but I didn’t get that far.
Unfortunately not.
You have to select the route from the main screen.
Same as PRL half and full.
Massive oversight from Zwift really. You could in theory navigate yourself around the map ticking off the routes

Yeah, as Adam says, route badges only work if you selected the route before hand. Self navigation of any kind invalidates the badge
Thanks for that, luckily I saw the response before climbing back up the hill in reverse. And I was getting a bit uncomfortable.
I did tick off Lutscher, took about 90 minutes at 180W AP, but that also included riding back down the hill into town for some easy points.

Also, if anyone wants to try a meetup for Lutscher reverse at some point to save the 35 minutes or so I might be interested. Doubt it will be today though as I’ve got to go out.
Registers interest.
BTW, on my ride today I saw a Zwift user called C.TYE (IIIRC) with the suffix ‘Tritalk’ after their name. I have no idea who that is?

I’m not sure I’ll be back in time for another hour in the garage tonight and it’s not a course again until next week, unless you can do any course on a meet-up?
I guess you can do any? I’ve never set one up. I think I only have 9 courses left but I need all the vert I can get, so not bothered about which one. I don’t mind which day.

Yes, you can. It’s one of the new perks

I did it with my son. He didnt turn up though 
wish I’d done it for Surrey Hills as I hadn’t noticed the 5th bonus climb beforehand 
Also do keep together and if you are with someone with far more talent you will go much faster
not on the TT bike I won’t.

@FatPom it does look like you can do any course as a meetup (anytime), and as hammerer says if the other person doesn’t appear it still counts.
If you wanted to try inviting me to a meet-up that I don’t appear at I’m alright with that if it saves you the 30 minutes.
I’m ok with doing the whole thing mate but was responding to your request for a meet up. I can always tack some on the end. PM me with a couple of times over the weekend. I’ve never set a meet up before but can give it a go.
Or we can put the times out here and make it ‘de group thang’
