The post-activity streak report now shows the correct running level after the first run of the week.

Route completion badges are now awarded after teleporting to a friend or RoboPacer and completing a full route lap from the official start of the route.

  • Please note that you must still complete a full lap from the route’s official starting point to earn the badge. We have an open ticket to explore awarding route completion badges after a full lap, regardless of where on the route you begin.

What about people late joining group rides to get completion badges?

Is XP awarded backdated for those of us already completed these routes?

No, when route badges are added to existing routes, you get to enjoy them again

Bug now, dropout of kicker Core v2 bluetooth, had to power cycle core to get back on. And HRM(not bridged) HRM won’t connect in zwift.

edit hrm back now after 5min

@Jason_J_SPM
Tell us more about your HRM? What OS are you using to run Zwift / HRM brand & model / ANT or Bluetooth connection? If it’s ANT - try pairing over BLE and vice versa please and let us know if there’s a difference?

Was Seaside Sprint also added as a new badge by any chance ?
I was at the max on the last update and am at 254/262 now.
The 5 you mentioned in the post, 2 on gravel mountain but I see Seaside Sprint now also as a not received badge.

I hope the Jungle Circuit runs and Road to Sky don’t have the 3.5 mile lead in. That would make for a longer run.

Win 11 on pc, coospo hrm over bluetooth. Had to power cycle core v2 to get working again, HRM power cycled about 5 times, to finally get it to reconnect after 5min.

It is working now, will try again later to see any problems. Just odd, haven’t had issues for ages, then updated and instant issue.

Let’s hope power cycling everything cleared it up, but if no - please tag me back in.

I haven’t had Zwift recognize BTE of my kickr for a few weeks at this point. It connects on ant plus and BTE to HR and pedals though.

this only happens most updates and then gets resolved after a few weeks of me doing nothing or a lot

Nice touch adding the XP to be gained on the Zwift Shorts cards for the routes I do not have the route badge for.

It looks like many of the new run routes skip the long lead ins that the ride routes have. There are still many run routes now that are double digit mileage runs even without a lead in.

“Fixed an issue that could cause the virtual shifting style to change after disconnecting and reconnecting to a trainer.”

Thank you. Hopefully it will remain stable after the update. I have been going nuts over the controls having a mind on its own mid-ride for weeks.

iPhone, iPad, and tvOS users please note phased rollout has started.
