Separating Climbs and Routes of The Week [July 2026]

Thanks, I’ll share with our team.

This is one of my major peeves too. It’s ridiculous that we have to use a third party website to access so much information about the game.

I can’t see anywhere in the companion app to find Ride of the Week information. Previous we had Ride of the Week, but I’ve never seen Route of the week.

it was there before I agree. now i just use ZwiftInsider for the calendar before jumping into the game. 100% agree it should come back to companion app next to the current Challenges: Tour Fever and Indoor Outdoor

The times for things changing in Zwift is not consistent.
Worlds change at 0500 UTC
Many challenges, including Tour Fever and Indoor/Outdoor Challenge/Route and Climb of the Week starts/ends at 1500 UTC
Robopacers change worlds at 0800 UTC

Times should be consistent.

FWIW this happens because our team are mostly based in California and that is 8am their time so they are on hand in case anything goes wrong. I don’t have an answer for the other two you mentioned.

The guy that used to look after Robopacers was UK based (albeit now moved to California) so that would explain that timing.

I think a combination of the 2 methods, while adding in the workout of the week will help folks explore everything, but races in Zwift (unless a route of the week is a race you enter).
Rotate the difficulty of the Mission of the Week: route, climb and workout. This is how it was done before and I think it worked nicely. Folks could choose the 250xp bonus, the 500xp or maybe the 750 or 1000xp.
Since we now have 100+ levels you could clump them together like the second variation: complete 2 missions of the week +250xp, complete 3 missions of the week +500xp. That bonus mission of the week is on top of just completing the Route, Climb or Workout. more XP to explore while giving folks carrots to chase.

It was so easy to get XP’s with the workout of the week… You only needed to start it, skip all the zones and only do the cooldown to get the XP’s :slight_smile:
