Create a Distance Jersey

Does anyone else think it would be a cool feature to have a “distance jersey” in a particular world?

For example, if someone is currently riding the most miles/km in that particular world (watopia, Makuri, London) - a distance jersey is awarded to them until someone else passes them in distance or they leave the world - then it goes to the next highest distance rider.

This jersey is not something that goes in your garage - it’s a live action jersey.

Thoughts anyone?

As always - Ride On! :+1:

Why not. Let’s have one for the person with the most current elevation too.

Maybe we need two of each. One for absolute, the other for a sliding 60 minute window like the other jerseys.

$10 says it’ll turn into a competition of who can keep their computer / device on long enough and not save their ride. It’ll be funny when they come here asking for it to be fixed after the fact.

Or a bot.

I like the idea though, and certainly Daren’s additions. I can’t think of anything to improve that.
Rolling 60 minutes should just be a flame jersey; as really that’s what it is, highest average speed. :fire:

Everybody likes flame kits right???

True! Good call! I agree with you. Yeah, it’s just an idea I had cause I put in a longer ride and I noticed I didn’t see any other rider with as many miles for a minute. Eventually, someone came along though :joy:!

Also, it seems, mostly riders are awarded for being the fastest - so it just seemed to me to be a different take on other skill sets than just being fast.

Seems like people had this idea years before I thought of it! Just noticed someone posted something like this in 2015!

There are two, the wite one for 100 km and the black one for 100 miles. They are not seen very often in Zwift. You can choose to wear it in any world.
What about a 500 km jersey? and 500 mile jersey?
And why doesn’t the 100 mile jersey also say 162 km’s?

I assumed this was more about a current leader’s jersey for distance, like a sprint jersey. I’m afraid with how things are now it would just be a bot jersey, so anyone with the jersey should be reviewed for a ban.

This would be amazing. Yes.

Kind of like how they set up criminals by calling them and telling them they won a prize. Then give them a location, and arrest their ass.

Interesting Zee! I didn’t know this!

Yeah Paul - that is exactly what I was proposing. Why on earth would anyone bot to just hold on to a jersey you’re not earning? It takes away the whole spirit of the achievement. I’m pretty naive I guess.

They probably wouldn’t do it for the jersey. They’re already doing it for other reasons and the jersey would just happen as a side-effect.

It’s a shame cause I think it would be a worthy jersey to try to achieve. While riding I like to swipe through “zwifters nearby” and give “RO’s” to lead Jersey wearer’s. I also try to find the rider with the most (or simply a lot of) miles/km and throw them a RO. Just feels right to recognize the remarkable performance, grit, heart, & durability, riding long distances takes. Not always just being fast. Thank you for joining in on the comments! Appreciate you!

Hey Zee, have you ever worn these jerseys? Also, when a rider earns them — it’s something they have in their garage forever? Seems pretty cool! I’m gonna have to try to get these. It’s gonna hurt though :weary_face: :joy:

The 100 km one is white and kinda nice.

The 100 mile one is black and it’s what I have equipped pretty much all the time. It’s super cool, IMO.

Look for your preferred robo pacer on Volcano Circuit, get the 25 lap badge and the 100km kit in one ride

This sounds like a bonus perk to me! :laughing:

Awesome! Thanks David! Appreciate you!

Great advice! Thanks Paul!
