I just did the Big Loop route today and I didn’t get an achievement popup or route badge and xp awarded. I am 99% certain I did the whole route since it starts and ends at the boardwalk arch and I went through it both at the beginning and the end. Never had this problem before and it’s a little disheartening!

Hi there. I set up the “Everything Bagel” route as a Meetup and completed it on May 10, but the badge doesn’t show up. Can someone please help?
@Patrick_Chin-Hong_DI looking at your ride animation it sent you in the wrong direction. Check out the correct route animation here:
There have been reports of some routes not being routed correctly in meetups. I’d suggest doing it as a free ride or part of a group ride. I did it a few weeks ago as a group ride and got the badge.
Same here! I have completed 100% of the Everything Bagel (twice), Greater London Loop, Greater London 8 and have not gotten the badges, XP points or drops! Very frustrating and demotivating!! It seems to be a regular Zwift problem!
This is not a bug - you are not riding far enough. Many rides have a “lead in” that is quite long. So keep going. Also, they always end in an arch. So go at least until the next arch before giving up.
I also experienced a BUG. Completed quatch quest route, received the on screen achievement, the badge is ok on the activity at the companion app, but it’s not on my profile.

@Fernando_Santos_3561, do you use multiple devices for Zwift (the game, not the companion app) such as an iPad and a PC or iPhone? If so, make sure you are completely logged out of all devices (force close app, power off the device) before starting a new ride. Having multiple logins without a corresponding logout will cause these types of issues and may override your session that completed the route.

I only use the Ipad…
that could be a bug with the meetup then
A friend of mine did the same route, on the same meetup, badge received…
I did a meetup for out and back again last night. It said the ride was 25.5 miles. I rode 26 miles (rounded up) but no achievement badge. That’s a long ride to not get counted.
Hi @Gary_Hudson
Welcome to the forum.
That route is 24.8 miles with a 1.5 mile Lead in = 26.3 mile. It look like you stopped short. 99% of all routes start and finish at a banner.

Thanks. Sheesh, I was so close if I’d only known.
There’s a consistent pattern here - Zwift should really make the segment lengths (including lead in) correct.

I would have to agree.

but then events and races with multiple laps of the route will be wrong, you don’t complete the lead-in on every lap, just the first.
I’m a product manager, not a GUI designer. Provided the real length of the ride is shown clearly on the “routes” page, I’m indifferent to the details of the approach. Create a “lead in” column and a “lap” column and populate them as appropriate, we’re good.

Same Problem. 28.4km on Greater London Loop (the Lead in cannot be more then 7km!?) and no Badge.
Something else must have gone wrong. Greater London Loop is 21 km with an additional 0.5 km lead-in.
You find precise information to al routes with their lead-ins here:
Did you do a u-turn or change the course in any way? Were you logged in with another device at the same time? All those cause trouble with the route badges.
