ZWIFT example below or do any +3.5 ZWIFT/Strava segment:
Example: Volcano Descent (top 50% of your Strava category wins)
Location (downhill of Volcano Climb)
Course: Watopia (volcano climb)
Length: 3.7km
The Volcano Climb is a climb segment on the Watopia course. The climb was released in March 2017 as a further addition the Volcano Expansion released in January 2017. The climb has a total elevation gain of 126m, with an average gradient of 3%. The summit sits at an elevation of 132m.
The climb corkscrews up the side of an active volcano, finishing at the crater at the top. The climb is a dead end. After a loop around the summit crater riders descend the same road they climbed.
FYI: you may do your ZWIFT ride in a group!
