I find this curious because according to Strava I’ve ridden La Reine 3 times _in events_. For example:

> **[Stage 3 // Virtual Haute Route Ventoux (B) | Strava](https://www.strava.com/activities/4090144928)**
>
> That was hard... third day in a row but mid-PM start gave me more recovery relative to yesterday's 9 am start. I went a bit above AP to stay with the group to the base of the climb, then rode with people to the top of the occasionally gradual petit...

Yet no credit:

I have not ridden in in a solo ride. (Eric made a separate Strava segment for the different spawn point, which I have not matched).

Is credit not reliably given for routes ridden in events?

This is a particularly painful one.

That example is from 2020, but the badge arrived in 2022. Badges are not given retroactively.

Thanks. That makes sense.

It was originally an “event only” route, then later (Dec 2022) was promoted to a general ride route, and event-only routes rarely count towards badges, even if ridden in events.

I’d love to see Zwift doing less France route shuffling and more French road expansion (all of those tantilizing dirt stubs), but that’s another matter…
