Perhaps they ran a bot comparing both.
Can someone please clarify why I appear to have completed 5 activities, all “free ride” solo and all in the correct week but I have not been awarded the 4 activity Xp bonus but have been awarded earlier awards. I always access tour fever from home page, not via “events” or “routes”. Thank you.
Is this real or has James become the ultimate Zwift troll?
I think it’s badly worded and instead of saying activities it should be stages.
Therefore you can’t get the final rewards until next week.
Run a bot on an offline zwift and post comparison tests on Youtube? 
It’d be fun if that old S-Works aero TT helmet (from some of the Zwift Academy Triathlon challenges) gave a big aero benefit in races. Not easy to get that helmet either.
You only get credit for completing stages during the stage week. You will however get credit for completing the route at anytime if not completed yet.
It is only week 4. You can only complete 4 stages but you can ride all 8 activities by doing each stage twice (long and short options).
Thank you all. My confusion has been solved. Activities should have been worded as stages for everything other than “ultimate challenge” which is 7 “activities” which I will wait for week 5 “stage” to achieve rather than Ven Top or Road to Sky which are the only “activities” I haven’t done. It is therefore possible to complete Ultimate Challenge without waiting for Week 5. Thanks again.
I have no idea what I am supposed to have done here.
The question is whether the bucket hat actually provides an aero benefit. Or was Peter just excited because he likes bucket hats, and Zee misinterpreted that as thinking they made you more likely to win.
The first part of that is certainly true. I love bucket hats, not only on Zwift but also have a pretty collection irl.
If that caused Zee to misinterpreted my excitement I dont know, but reading back it could very well be. Or that he was just joking and using my message as something that some people might believe to be true.
Would be hilarious of course when lots of people show up in races with a bucket hat believing it gives then an edge 
I suspect that we have probably all managed to confuse each other and there’s no performance improvement. I’ll try to find out though.
Too bad Zwift has forgotten to add the smiley to the forum when they added those emoticons to the ‘like post’ options. I would have used it now
I’ll post a demo ride or two after I officially earn the bucket hat, with hat and without hat, same wattage.
I didn’t say you were wrong!
Imagine the whining and complaining if it is true and the event ends before it gets known …
Team have confirmed that there is no aerodynamic bonus to having the hat equipped.
Sorry Zee.
Too bad. Would have been so much fun
Does riding the same route in the same stage as a race and separately as a group ride (short), count as two activitities for the ultimate challenge? Or do we need to complete the two different routes (long and short) for each stage to achieve the 10 activities for this purpose?
