As far as our system is concerned, a group run is set up as a group ride, but for running. Don’t ask.

TDZ, It’s fun!
I still have not gotten credit for Stage 5 of TDZ that i rode at 10am CST in Dallas. I rode the A distance.

Real talk: I’m about 2/3 of the way to the Z1 unlock. Once I get it, I likely won’t ever swap out bikes - it’s a great all-rounder, never mind a badge of honour that you’ve put in the work. (EDIT - OK, I may swap to a TT bike for literal TTs, climbing-specific bikes/wheels for record attempts etc…Z1 will be the daily-driver)
Loving the tour, and the variety of routes. It’s my first one and I’m taking the opportunity to unlock a tonne of route badges I didn’t have yet, sometimes it’s Cat A, sometimes Cat B or C.

Why is the elevation data on Zwift’s website so incredibly incorrect? For example, stage 6 on the long ride. Zwift’s website says 900 feet of elevation gain. Actual is 1700. Come on, Zwift. This is a constant issue in both directions. Such simple mistakes shouldn’t be happening.
What happen if we missed a stage? Will there be a reopening of stages for those who missed a stage or two. I missed my chance to do Stage 5 
From the FAQ above ..

I’m relatively new to Zwift, and other than a few races my group rides have been in this latest TdZ. Is it just here that has the crazy camera zoom out when, for example, you get to the top of a climb? Is there a way to turn that off? It’s quite difficult to stick with the people you’re riding with if you lose visuals of where you are, even for a few seconds. At the top of the Box Hill climb in stage 6, it must have been 5 seconds or so before the view returned to the camera 1 position I normally prefer.
@John_Sanderson_7330
That zoom-out occurs on certain summits anytime you ride through a certain point in the route. If I recall correctly, it happens on Alpe du Zwift, at the Radio Tower summit, and at the top of the climb you mentioned. There might be others. I guess it’s there for the wow factor, to show off the graphics.
Unfortunately, it’s baked in and cannot be turned off by the user, but I think there’s a workaround whereby you switch to camera 8 (helicopter), before the zoom-out kicks in. That doesn’t really help you, since it’s still difficult to observe riders around you compared to camera 1.

You will want to swap for a MTB when riding in the Jungle.
Fortunately, the Zwift MTB and the Tron bike are next to each other in the garage.

I think the auto zoom out only occurs with camera angle # 1.
I don’t care for it either and usually ride camera angle #2 and it prevents it.

I’m missing stage 6. Just completed it. Funny thing was, about 10 minuyinto the stage, all the other riders disappeared. I could see that there were 400+ other riders in the stage on the right side window, but mine was the only name visible. I suppose the good news is that I won all the jerseys… Can you help? Thanks!
Thanks! I’ll do that. Appreciate it
All the other riders disappearing is usually due to a dropped internet connection. You need the connection to be active when setting up the ride and saving it at the end, but can ride solo in any world you like, with the internet connection inactive/turned off.
At the end of the ride it will not save (hence you won’t be credited with it) if there is no connection at that point.
Hi @Korina_Dickinson
I’m not sure if you worked this out yet. You can start a ride late - up to 30 minutes after the start time - When you open Zwift, logged in and connect your sensors as usual, you’ll then see the ‘upcoming events’ in the top right of the screen. You can join using those links.
Enjoy the ride!
I saw it on Serpentine 8 route, on the newer connector road, also.

I have the same problem today and I could not join the TdZ Ride that I scheduled for 11 am though I was online and spinning (TCI 2015 course) for 10 minutes…the top right window showed that the ride would start in xx minutes but the prompt never came to join the ride. Closed Zwift and restarted again but same problem Eventually gave up. I have Asus router with Astrill vpn but that has not stopped me from riding last 6 stages…for today’s ride I never got a prompt. THIs has happened before and I gave on that ride too. I see this port-forwarding solution many places on internet but seems like Zwift is meant for IT guys only who can do this. For others like me you are lucky if it works otherwise looks for some other platform…so disappointed.
Hi @Anil_Soni
Welcome to the forum
It sound like you were in the home screen waiting for the ride to start? You need to pick any route n=in any world and start riding before the event as a warmup, you will then see a prompt in the bottom left to join the event.

First TdZ here so newb question…
Stage 8, Category A: The Longer Ride shows the route as “2022 UCI World Champ” but seems to be a variant of NYC Knickerbocker.
If I already have the Knickerbocker Route badge, this doesn’t “earn” me anything (other than a good workout), right? Like, there’s no badge, no real history of having done it (unless perhaps it’s on Strava).
Unless they make this an official route in Zwift then there won’t be a badge for it.
