I used RoadCaptain Builder to create this route in Makuri Islands starting with the Chain Chomper route spawning point. I wanted the route to avoid the big climb from the Makuri 40 route and be more than 20 miles. This route is 33.9km long and climbs 289.8m. This an experiment to see how the RoadCaptain Runner program guides me along the route. My last ride it lost connection with Zwift several times and I wasn’t able to make the last turn to complete the route from RoadCaptain Builder.

The ride began on the Makuri Islands Sea to Tree route as you can see in the video. I switched to km to match Zwift with the RoadCaptain window shown in the video. This part of the ride went up the climb I wanted to avoid but so be it. At 6.5km a left turn onto the Fishing Village road appeared and my avatar turned left. The RoadCaptain window showed the roads I was riding and the length to the next change. The Urukazi right turn message came at 13.7km. I made the turn and the RoadCaptain wind dropped the progress bars and told me keep pedaling and ride to start of route. I hoped the progress bars would return but they didn’t. It appears when the progress bars left a portion of the route was left out. The first map is from RoadCaptain with the route as built. I circled the missing roads in blue in the other maps.

Now that I am riding to the start of the route I make several loops through downtown and continue riding until I reach 34.2km or 21.32 miles and the 288m of climbing (945 feet). The ride was not Zwift official route but it was interesting. I don’t know what happened at 13.8km but at least the RoadCaptain window did not flash red during the ride from losing connection with Zwift. Again the Zwift companion app did not connect with Zwift and show the game screen so I closed the app and relied on the ride on my computer monitor only.
