No Events with Macaron Route

I have not tried this, as I rarely do warmups outside the pen -
If you started Zwift hours before the event, will the “Join Event” auto transport you to the pens with no interaction?

It has for me in the past - normally if you don’t hit the “not now” it will move you into the pen with 5min to go before start without any action on your part. Unless the behavior changed recently.

Have to agree on this one. Its been annoying for quite a while. I understand some routes are for events, but to keep them hidden after the event ended is pointless.

Just release them for free rides two updates later, so a month after the event.

I’m intrigued. So much chatter about Macaron, it must be something special! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

LOL - it’s mildly interesting as a TT route with a small rise near but not at the end, but it’s a sub-3km route, ~3½ min for a fast C on a TT bike. Just a route badge the completionists have trouble getting.

I did the Herd Stampede on Macaron yesterday at 8 pm CST
It was my first tt ride.
It appeared to me that it was a mass start event with no drafting.
I was in C group and we all left together.
I was expecting each to leave at 1 min intervals.

It was all about your segment effort, as I found out after killing myself on Friday 1900 BST.

It was not just the sprint segment.

In Zwiftpower the event will reset to the default for the League, which is “Points Based” for Herd Summer Racing League, I had to change it back several times before it took. If you look at the results now it’s on finishing time.

Get signed up over the next few days if you need the Macaron badge … if you’re a runner or a female cyclist.

:sob::sob::sob:

Would you consider doing this again? I have no idea why I care, but it’s the only badge I’m missing.

How did you get the No Sleep Till Brooklyn badge ?

I wish you hadn’t said that :confused:. Now I need to hunt it. I was so convinced I had them all at 323/323.

Sorry, but that is the only one I still need. But its been kept hidden so far.

But rumours are there are a few new ones in this latest update.

Found them …

I checked with the events team about No Sleep Till Brooklyn and they currently have no way to select it

Perhaps Zwift is still negotiating terms with the Beastie Boys about the use of their song blasting through NYC while we ride the route.

I miss the last five on your screenshot, and No Sleep Till Brooklyn. That would mean there are 329 badges at the moment.

How do you make Zwift display placeholders for those “hidden” badges?

Choose the Just Watch option.

Badges gives you the view you want.

If they will fix this flaw now I will blame you :joy:
