Whist on the subject, when you get the Avid Climber badge after climbing AdZ 5 times, do those 5 climbs count towards the Masoch1st badge (25 climbs), or do you have to start from scratch?
They all count.
Excellent, thanks. 
Can we get some new prizes on the wheel? 
Itās be great if there were no duplicates for a start. Even if there are three āglovesā, they could all be different variations.

Wheels in 17th ascent

You get nothing for 50 climbs. Iāve done 50.
Itās only a personal achievement, nothing more.
The jersey is just for the KOM but you normally need to do at least 45 minutes or better, often 35 minutes.
I had the wheels on number 16 IIRC.
Iād like to see workouts not counting for ADZ leaderboard or the count of ascents youāve done. Only proper rides where you get all the gradient changes (14% for instance) should count. The group I ride with all feel the same way.
Going up ADZ at at steady 200w with no changes for 1 hour or more is not the same thing.
What would be nice would be a Canyon Ultimate CF Evo SL 2018, new lightest climbing bike.
Modify the existing Ultimate CF SLX in Zwift to do it.
That should be the prize for 50 ascents.
Iām biased because I have the Ultimate CF Evo 10.0 IRL.
Not exactly a prize butā¦ didnāt you used to get a couple of powerups on your way up the Alpe? Was that only in group rides or races? I donāt get them anymore, but Iāve only been doing freerides on AdZ lately.
I donāt recall the exact conditions, but I think those target/carrot powerups appear after youāve done two AdZ rides in the space of 30 days.
I think theyāre based on your previous times up various sections. I havenāt been doing regular enough AdZ rides since fall of 2021, so canāt say if theyāre no longer in game, but I remember coming back to the Alpe after some time away and being disappointed not to see those possibilitiesā¦ until they reappeared on my third time up within a month.

Good info, thanks! I havenāt been riding AdZ as often since I got my Tron bike (more flat rides for XP now), so that would explain why I havenāt been getting the powerups.

Iām pretty sure even that would not allow me to get that jersey. Maybe if I lost 30 pounds with no resulting power loss (impossible, since I donāt have that much fat on my entire body), or if there is no one else riding the AdZ at the same time.
I go up there at about 260w average some times, but being light that gives me a fast time. But I canāt beat these guys doing 35 or 38 minutes.
Someone should get them a contract with a pro team.
