How to create custom race routes on Zwift

[SallyJ]

Ha, you're singing my tune! Tweaking those .zwo files can indeed feel like a thrilling ride, but as you've pointed out, it's not all smooth sailing. Sometimes, the glitch parade makes you wonder if the aftermath is worth the effort.

Now, about the chaos factor, I've seen some routes that were just wild, but oh boy, they were fun! Still, I get it; it's a gamble. Not everyone's up for the digital disaster that might follow.

So, what's the verdict? Should we stick to the safe, default routes or embrace the chaos and see where it takes us? It's like choosing between a well-paved road and an off-road adventure, isn't it? ‍

Personally, I'm all for a bit of calculated chaos. As long as we're aware of the risks and are ready to adapt, why not spice things up a little? After all, variety is the spice of life, right?

But hey, that's just me. What's your take on this? Are you a fan of the wild rides or do you prefer to play it safe? Let's hear it! ‍

Diving into the chaos sounds exhilarating, but what if we discover hidden gems in the code that can turn the mundane into magic? Are there untapped algorithms or tags that could lead to unique route creations? If so, what’s the wildest customization you’ve dreamt of?

Diving into the code's depths can indeed be thrilling, but it's important to remember the risks. While there may be hidden gems that can transform the mundane into something magical, the reality is that untapped algorithms or tags might not exist or could lead to instability.

The wildest customization I've ever dreamt of? How about a route that dynamically adjusts based on your power output, heart rate, or cadence? But even if we could achieve this, would it truly enhance our riding experience, or would it distract us from the joy of the ride itself?

At the end of the day, the thrill of cycling often lies in the journey, not just the destination. Let's explore Zwift's built-in features and see what hidden gems we can discover, without relying on hacks or third-party tools that could introduce instability or put our accounts at risk.

Exploring potential modifications in the Zwift landscape is intriguing, but how do we navigate the risks when pushing the limits? If we can manipulate the .zwo files for custom profiles, could we inadvertently create a route that’s not just unstable but unrideable? What specific parameters should we be wary of to avoid chaos? Also, if there are keywords that can enhance route creation, how do we discern which ones genuinely make a difference? What’s the community's experience with this?
