This was first request over 5 years ago now - half a decade.
We can now measure how fast an Agile software company can deliver features in decades.

Please do not use the word ‘Agile’ in any sentence that might be linked to zwift, it is an insult to agility 
, and as I am typing this I realize who ironic the name is since nothing about it is swift. Not the support, not the response to user requests, not the loading, absolutely F ALL

Agreed! It would be nice to explore an entire ride in chunks rather than have to start the whole thing over again. Especially tough for 79 mike rides! Add a dollar to the monthly subscription fee. Use this money to create ride save AND fix the kickr climb issue (climb won’t work when wahoo app is active)
With almost 1200 votes does this thread show that no amount of user engagement actually transfers into in game improvement?

As many others have said, it is rather strange that such a basic feature was not present on day one, let alone many years later.

Generally speaking, you can explore any bit of any map whenever you feel like it (choose a route based on a “spawn site” that is in the vicinity of the area you wish to explore and then manually intervene to go where you want).
The intention of the proposed “save without exit” feature is not that you can save mid-route, exit, and then “reconvene” on that same ride where you left off at a later date but instead is intended to allow one to swop between routes/worlds, saving each ride individually, without having to exit the game entirely.
If you are seeking to earn the route badges, these (correctly so) need to be earned by completing the route in a single ride - and I expect (hope) this will remain irrespective of when we eventually get the ability to save without exiting Zwift.
honestly the fact that people are begging over years for such a tiny feature is just A BIG JOKE!
every game today has a save option which prompts back to menu EVERY GAME.
what are you thinking about not fixing this?
a beta phase is doomed to have such bad features. but a full released game doesnt so is this game still beta? just fix it damn it.
the route achivement is also super buggy. cou cant earn route achievment during rides you most choose routes before “start” riding. WTF? why is there no option to select other routes (uneared achievements) during riding???
holy …

Save without exit should be a basic feature of the game.
I do understand the reasoning behind having to choose a route in order the earn the achievement badge. This is probably because some longer routes encompass several smaller routes, and would allow someone to earn multiple badges for riding one route. It would be logical however, to be allowed to earn more than one badge in one ride if you rode more than one complete route. Completing the “Figure Eight”, turning around and completing the “Figure Eight Reverse” should earn two route achievement badges.

Please do not ask for new features as refusal often offends.

Hi,
Has anyone from Zwift ever stated why this issue/behavior occurs & is it an extremely high effort & man-hours to implement?
It’s GUBU (grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented) that this behavior occurs.
Thanks,
Patrick.

I think Eric mentioned it on the recent zwiftcast interview that this feature would be coming soon.
So file that with rowing, anti sandbagging, UI etc, etc!!!
Hopefully it will come soon. It causes so much discontent. Although Eric also stated on anther zwiftcast that he didn’t feel a high portion of riders actually really wanted this!!
We can live in hope
IIRC it was mentioned on an old Zwiftcast episode with Jon Mayfield; one of the platforms would randomly crash too often for their liking when swapping worlds. Seem to recall it was one of the Apple platforms.
He mentions i about once a year, usually on the thanksgiving ride.
Just to keep the hope alive
