Is it possible to complete the Richmond Loop Around using manual turns and earn the badge? This route is listed as event only.
Nope, it isn’t.
Nope, at this time the only rides who can earn that badge are the elite racers. Zwift used the course for the community racers before riders could earn the badge.
Unfortunately, event-only routes like the Richmond Loop can’t be completed for the badge using manual turns. You’ll need to wait for an official event!
There is no badge to earn for the “Richmond Loop Around” route.
Edit: I didn’t read press info carefully enough !!
The following event-only routes will debut during the upcoming Zwift World Series, and will be resticted to ZHQ-organized events. They will open to Event Organizer partners, Meetups and Clubs at a later date.
- Richmond - Richmond Loop Around
- Yorkshire - Yorkshire Double Loop
- Makuri Islands - Shisha Shakedown
I expect the route badge will be obtainable then.
Thanks for clarifying (and correcting), Ian!

Interestingly the Yorkshire Double Loops is available to ride on my home screen but doesn’t show up in the route lists or anywhere else…

Interesting.
I wonder if you get the route badge if you rode it.
Wanted to do that this mornign but its gone now 
How did you choose the route ? It wasnt available anymore when I looked.
Thats weird. So we dont all get the same routes to ride.
At my screen there are Sand and Sequoias, Volcano Climb, Sugar Cookie, Classique and Test Day Ride to choose from but no Yorkshire …

I think things change for us during the day?
Wasn’t on my laptop today but was on my IPad so used that instead.
Only in Yorkshire can you ride a loop and be going uphill all the time.
