Is anyone else sick of London?

yes I know - that is literally what I was doing!

I like the London map. I can ride my (virtual) S-Works Tarmac without the fear of a moped riding gang banging me on the head and nicking it…

Yeah I know … what I meant was real life Yorkshire, not just the Zwift course.

:slightly_smiling_face:

I know but Zwift yorkshire is real yorkshire! It is based on the UCI course that was there.

If Zwift could have actual real life scenery for the worlds that don’t have imaginary roads (like the NY skyroads) I would love riding London, Yorkshire, Innsbruck. I used to live in NY and if NY was actual Central Park scenery merged with virtual for the skyroad I’d love riding that world too. My brain processes the virtual scenery as boring much more so than real life scenery, even if the real life scenery never changes.

Wasn’t expecting this to be such a saga … Funnily enough Yorkshire is significantly bigger than the UCI course, but the description you gave pretty much covers the whole county. I live there.

I think a lot of the courses could be made much more interesting with a few new courses, Richmond could easily have a figure of 8 or pretzel and with a bit of tweaking of the barriers so could Paris.

Someone suggested a cut through road in Innsbruck which would open up a load more opportunities.

UPDATE: I have grown tired of London.

I’d like to see London, New York, France and Makuri Islands rotated together as one selection and Yorkshire, Innsbruck, Paris and Richmond rotated as the other selection but independently so worlds aren’t paired together but randomly.

if I am not mistaken, London is the third biggest world, in terms of roads and routes available, so it probably makes sense that it is available quite regularly (and I am sure Zwift have numbers indicating how popular the different worlds are).

Personally, I would like to see Makuri added as a permanent choice, alongside Watopia, and then the choice of guest worlds would not be such an issue (for me anyway).

And, for what it is worth, I like London.

You’ve obviously never been on the tube at rush hour! :wink:

I like London too but it’s in the rotation around 2x as often as Makuri, which seems like a bit much. I wonder how the guest world calendar is made? Is there any reasoning behind it, or is it just a random number generator?

I’ve often wondered this too

That is true … I have been on the tube plenty of non-rush hour times and quite like it.

Sadly add London to the list of unfinished projects that Zwift doesn’t appear to have any interest in doubling back on. We have a number of worlds with massive potential but I’m sure there is always something new and shiny taking the attention away, leaving many fragments in its wake. That’s just how Zwift appear to operate.

Richmond, Innsbruck, Italy/Bologna, and France could all use some love to turn them into great maps.

If there is a place that I can’t stand to ride it’s Future New York and Neokyo.

London is in the calendar 6 days in a row at the end of the month - way too often. Yorkshire is in the calendar 5 days in a row too.Good question “is there any reasoning behind it?”

As of today I am down to one last route badge - PRL Full. After I do that one I am confident I will be taking a break from London :slight_smile: Will just be hanging out in Watopia regardless of city rotations I imagine.

I noticed today that if you do a workout you can pick any world to ride it on. So you could start a workout in any world, skip all the segments and just ride any route on any world any day you like.

I might make a workout with one segment to make selecting the world I want easier.

Alternatively you can create a meetup in any world.
