Zwift Chat

Anyone else been drops farming on the sprint section of the Mayan8 route?

Nipped on yesterday (after seeing it on a you tube video) and the section was packed. Got myself a few extra drops whilst pootling in zone 2 for a hour.

By all accounts Zwift are ok with this. I'm guessing that with the new bikes etc due to drop (see what I did there?) they are keen for riders to have lots of spare drops to buy the new kit and show it off.

I'll be on again later to get me a few more

Finally doing this. Bit bonkers but actually a nice wee community feel, everyone's in a good mood 🤣

It's active until the 20th apparently - as you say, a nice community feel, lots of chats going on. With the new kit coming around, Zwift have given us a chance to get a drops boost. Hundreds are on the route at any one time, it's very popular

Yeah I'm a bit late to the party, I think some people have literally made millions! Few hundred thousand just to pay for the TT upgrades will do me

I did an hour of drops farming on Tuesday and another on Thursday and managed to get over half a million drops in total. Probably could have got more if I did the teleporting trick (I just U-turned after the banner and cycled back) or put in more effort than the Z2-3 I did, but I wasn't too bothered. I only wanted enough to afford my level 5 climbing bike upgrade.

I think I've farmed about a million or so which goes towards upgrading the Tron (once I've upgraded 3 Zwift bikes). I do it on the BMX which I'm working to upgrade, so 2 birds with one stone.
I don't use the teleporting which many seem to do - I just keep looping round, although teleporting apparently lets you farm almost twice as many drops.

Completely missed this. But I dont think I could be bothered looping around a course. I suppose I could set up a bot to ride endlessly to do it for me
