Zwift, the global online training and racing platform for athletes, has completed construction on Watopia’s latest stretch of fresh tarmac.
Titans Grove draws inspiration from the High Sierras, home to the Sequoia National Park. The new section of road snakes its way through the forest and features three gradual climbs with a maximum gradient of 5%. Each lap features 520ft/158m of elevation gain.
“I think this may be the most beautiful part of Watopia,” said Eric Min, Zwift CEO and co-founder.
“Since we left Jarvis Island, we have been keen to bring back a forest, so in some ways, Titans Grove feels like being back home.
“I’m not normally one for pausing on a workout, but this area rewards the eyes as much as the legs. I think our community will love exploring and seeing what creatures they can spot along the way.”
