When I did it, I had 4 bottles with my Infinit GoFar in as it provides calories and such. I also had a couple bites from a local company called MODE and ate one when I got a hunger pang. I had held nearby but didn’t use. I also cooked myself a fried egg sandwich before the ride

I too had a great day. I had 16 days in a row where I could ride to get the 14 days in a row achievement. I got 14 then did a really light day 15. On day 16 I had only two of the non hidden achievements left, the century and the 10 ride on in one ride and got them both done! Pretty happy to get it knocked out. Took me over 6 hours of riding and over 8 hours of total time. Was a very long day but was a good workout. I rode on the London flat route because it’s well really flat. Hardly any climbing at all. I could not ride today I don’t think if I wanted too.

I think all I need is 1100,1200 Watts achievement the get 100 ride ones in one ride, the climbing 8900 in one ride. I think there is a 30 ride on badge too.

Beachgrad05

There’s is also a 100 Ride On badge.

Here is the interesting thing - yours says you have 31 out of 44. Implying that there are 13 something left to go.

Mine is only 18/45. Not sure why I have 45. Maybe because of this?

ericy

I have to pay attention to what I eat - eating the wrong thing could lead to an upset stomach. I have a big jar of electrolyte powder that I use for outdoor rides - that would probably be a starting point. I probably want to supplement with a few other things that supply some calories and are easily digestible.

Beachgrad05

Definitely gotta do what works for your system.

Beachgrad05

There are badges for running counter in the 44 total

sdmc530

That does make sense that they throw the runners in with the biking. I actually don't like that because I will never have the running ones ever.

I don't understand however why mine says 44 total and ericy has 45? That is strange? He has the 1100 and 1200 watt badges already, I am very jealous of that. Those are the only two left that I might ever get, well maybe the 30 ride on in one ride but that will just take time to get more "zwift friends". The 100 and the climbing will not be reachable for me at all...seems like an impossible goal really.

I love Zwift....if works into my OCD perfectly.

Beachgrad05

Think the differences is getting a hidden badge that only counts in the total badges when you get it.

ericy

I am guessing that the "Extra Credit" ones don't count into the total until you earn them. So when I get around to the 63mph one, then my count would go to 46. That's my guess. Every time I do Epic KOM, I hope to get the aero powerup, but I always get something else useless, and I don't feel like making the radio tower effort unless I have the thing. When I am just riding around it comes up all the time. Murphy's law, I guess.

I did wonder what would happen if I bumped the trainer difficulty before a big descent. Would I go faster? Don't know. I wouldn't have thought so, but that thing I saw on Zwift's site suggested it might happen.

I didn't know about the climbing extra credit until you mentioned it.

sdmc530

So there are 27 known/regular cycling badges, I have those. From what I can find there are a total of 9 "extra hidden" badges. for 36 total?
100KPH
800 watts
900 watts
1000 watts
1100 watts
1200 watts
30 Ride on in one ride
100 ride on in one ride
8848 climbing in one ride

Is this the complete cycling list? Does anybody know for certain this is it?

How many running badges are there then, anybody know? If the math works wouldn't there be 12 running badges then? I wish they hadn't put them all together like that.

sdmc530

that is how I got the 100KPH (63MPH) badge, climbed up, got the boost and like the video says climb the radio tower. I took a 10 minute brake after climbing the tower so I could give it the nuts on the way down to hit the 63mph. It worked great, I think I actually hit 67 when I was on it. It was a full out gasser effort but got it.

ericy

Where did you hear about the 8848? The number is odd - 8858 would be 2700m, that I could sort of see, I guess. Not that it matters - doing Epic KOM once is hard enough. Doing it 6 times is unfathomable to me.

sdmc530

I was trolling for the complete list and found it there someplace and then Shawn miller did a video on YouTube about it. I will see if I can't go find it again. Shawn is the Zwift blogger or something.

sdmc530

found it: Watch this:

ericy

He does tons of videos, and was very helpful to me when I was first starting. This past week he and DC Rainmaker have been having fun together down under - there was a video this morning where they were playing with a drone. DCR assured him the drone would automatically avoid any trees, Miller said great, there is only one tree. And guess what - the drone flew straight into the tree..

One place that 8848 *does* come up is in the Everest challenge. 8848 is the height of Mt Everest in meters. But you don't need to do that all in one go.

ericy

Ugh. That sounds absolutely brutal.

sdmc530

LOoks undoable to me and my clyde body.

Turzy

I'm not sure I'll ever the 7 days in a row achievement, I'm lucky if I can ride 5 days/week

sdmc530

It took me a month of prescheduling at work to get the right days off and correct work hours to have a shot at the 14 day badge. Got it and rode 16 days. I actually felt a little guilty about not riding the last two days. I got to ride tomorrow, just have too. I feel like a drug addict.

Turzy

I totally forgot I was off work in feb. when I typed my previous post, so I should be able to get the achievement between jan 30th and feb 14th, maybe even earlier if I can work around my Schedule for the next 4 days.
Also, we're taking a few days off and going away without the kids mid february, so no zwifting then

ericy

What is it that you need to do to get "credit" for the day? One lap of flat loop? One lap around volcano? If you do the world hack to ride a world that isn't the one on the calendar, does that still count? Some number of miles?

ill.clyde

Generally a Zwift ride is only recognized if it's at least three miles I believe

sdmc530

I asked Zwift what was a "ride" and they said you have to do a loop on the current days course, OR the mileage of the flat loop that is I think around 9 miles. So I guess its 9 miles? They were not very clear so I don't think its quite that long I think any "lap" counts but I was always afraid to risk it and loosing progress. So I never did less than 10 miles in a day in my 14 day run. there is no clear answer what a ride really is.....

ill.clyde

Pretty sure it's at least 5km, regardless of route, which is 3.2 miles.
