Repack Ridge not chooseable

General Discussion
1

Yesterday I wanted to try the MTB trail - Repack Ride but I did not get an option to drive it. :frowning:

I have the companion app paired, I see myself on the map, I even could see the trail on the map and on Zwift of course.
Started Dust in the wind, then up Titans Grove like described in zwiftinsider . com/find-zwifts-new-mountain-bike-steering-course/

Any ideas?
Is it possible for someone else?

Thanks for your help! :slight_smile:

P.S.: Sorry for creating a new topic, but all I found are >2years oldā€¦

Sorry but Repack Ridge doesnā€™t exist any more. It got replaced by the gamified Repack Rush, which needs a steering device such as Zwift Play or Elite Sterzo.

thanks for the update.
so steering with a mobile device is not possible, right?

Evo CC have been running Repack Rush super sprint races recently, where steering devices are not mandatory. Might be other times, but Iā€™ve seen them around 2030 GMT, Sunday and Monday.

Correct, Iā€™m afraid. Zwift basically said that it didnā€™t work very well so they dropped it.

I think it was probably over 2 years ago when steering via a mobile was abandoned.

I miss the Repack Ridge track because it was going up and down. Repack rush is in my opinion somehow ā€œnormalā€. btw. you can do it without a steering deviceā€¦ at least today it was possible.

I cannot understand why anyone would want to steer. Zwift is for training. Itā€™s not an Xbox game.

Thereā€™s all sorts of gamey stuff people love. Not me so much but you are transferring your preferences to a lot of people who donā€™t share them.

It wonā€™t be for everyone, certainly. I was sceptical myself until I tried it, and I find it fun to be able to steer. But then again I donā€™t do workouts, and I suspect itā€™s not much use in those.
