Tour de Zwift [January 2025]

The FAQ still says that the women-only group rides are supposed to be offered this year, and @James_Zwift responded to this recently but I haven’t seen any changes, though I did have the opportunity to ride with @Dougal_Dog today on the short course. They should really fix this ASAP.

I complete Stage 1 but the Socks Not unlock . Is ist a Bug ?

Based on feedback from one of the largest women’s groups, we won’t be adding women’s only stages.

I’m not sure how quickly the FAQ will be fixed but I’ll ask.

A large women’s group said they don’t want their own cats? That’s maybe a bit surprising.

Well, it’s a bit strange but the FAQ says you get the socks at 20% completion, but I got the socks after the first stage I did (16.66% completion) so you probably should have as well.

Sometimes logging out and logging back in will resolve problems like that.

I saw the socks were given when I looked at my activity in the Companion app for that first stage. Do you see that?

If one wanted to ride the short stage Outer Scotland this week free ride, would you have to do 2 laps to get credit for the Ultimate Challenge?
I would think so, but since it is the only event with 2 laps of the route, I thought I’d ask.

1 lap is all you need to do :+1:

Can you elucidate a bit on what that feedback was specifically? It’s hard to see how having a women’s only pen for those who want it (even it’s a small number) is a detrimental to tour or women’s participation.

I believe this is because, when you switch between worlds, as you did, Zwift actually ends the first activity and starts a new one in the new world. So, you should have expected to see two separate activities (one in each world), EXCEPT that Zwift only records rides of at least 2km, and you indicated your first ride was only 0.8km.

Was it just that one group that got to give feedback? I ride with several women who aren’t part of any big groups. (Don’t mean this to sound hostile, just wondering about the decision myself.)

I later joined with 10km to go (so not even a full lap) and got credit plus the route badge

I went ahead and did it as a group ride just to be sure.
I got the route badge after the first lap, and the “tour completion” splash after the 2nd lap.

I find your lack of faith disturbing :wink:

To be honest, I rode it yesterday, before I asked the question.
I didn’t think of asking it until this morning when I noticed it was the only event with 2 laps.

Log in and out didn’t help. In the Companion App, the socks icon is also like the others and not filled in in color. A very annoying bug. Especially if it’s the same with the other things I can unlock.

Of course, cats are wanted.

I’m pretty sure the reference was to the number of constituents in the group.

Newbie to Zwift. Did my first TdZ route tonight and stage 1 was grayed out showing February dates. So couldn’t go in order if I wanted to and started with Stage 2. Anyone else? I assumed dates and stages would go in calendar order.
Logged into the app on iPhone and shows same thing.
Also +1 to the no D/women group options - but I survived C!

Stage 1 was last week (Jan 6-12).

Make-Up Week: Feb 17-23
If you miss any group ride stages, they will all be available to ride during the make-up week. During this week, make-up rides are scheduled every 30 minutes, with each stage following the next every half hour.

Thank you!! I didn’t realize it was a makeup week! Us newbies have so much to learn (and read)
