I want to create a meet up on the ZG25 Queen route but it doesn’t appear as an option on Zwift Companion. Why?
Hey @John_O_Dowd_CRW, welcome to the Forums! I’m Francisco from Zwift Support.
I want to throw in another little idea about this topic that might help for future rides. Thanks for sharing this concern with us.
These routes below are available- but only for group rides and workouts, not for races:
Makuri Madness
Scotland Smash
Downtown Eruption
London Uprising
ZG25 Queen
The following routes are not available for organizers to use in races until the following date:
Makuri Madness (until 3/31)
Scotland Smash (until 3/31)
Downtown Eruption (until 3/31)
London Uprising (until 3/31)
ZG25 Queen (until 3/31)
Another thread that might be related as an example: Making Event Only Routes Available On Meetup
Actually, ZG25 Queen is not available for a meet up. I tried doing that and it’s not an option.

Meetup is a private group ride, not an event - means event only routes are not available for meetups (I believe there is a feature request for this).

I know event only routes are not available for meet ups. But ZG25 Queen is not listed as Event Only.
It is event only until 3/31/25. Zwift does this a lot with new routes that are used in specific race and group “missions” or “challenges” or “series” whatever you want to call them. While the Zwift Games are going on it will be somewhat locked down.
This should read “free rides and workouts”.

I have the same. Finished all of the five routes. Got the green banners and the blue route completion banners, but no badges showing up in the achievements. Neither in the app as in the companion app. Is this by design and will the badges be awarded later, or aren’t we getting any badges at all?
I imagine that it will be the same as with past routes like this - i.e. there isn’t a badge right now, so if and when a badge does become available then you’ll have to ride the route again to earn it.
There are other odd omissions in the meetup route selector as well. When I was trying to look for Hilly Route Reverse there, I noticed that even the non-event-only forward version was missing as well.
Route completion badges should be showing up in game, at least they are for me (both under achievements and the master route list). In Companion they’re set as event-only so you won’t see completion badges because Zwift can’t/won’t display badges for event-only routes.
