With the combined UCI World Champs heading to Glasgow next year, Zwift have announced that they are developing three race routes Promising iconic Glaswegian architecture and Scottish scenery, what do we think they'll include?

I'm going for the Ballieston Crane, the Kelpies and a Loch Ness monster. Any other suggestions?

tree-lined roads so you can't see the scenery, roads full pot holes and covered in mude/ land slide debris

Minging wind turbines on every horizon, more police sat in lay-bys than on every other zwift route combined, Iron Bru power ups, virtual punctures from the needles littering the road and the SNP putting the subscription up and pocketing the difference??

Oh and incredible Red Deer Stalking 😀🤣🤣

Bunny hopping the doggers at the Cathkin Commonwealth MTB course. Shopping trolley slalom on the NCN7 in Clydebank. Route detour options for a coffee at Wheelcraft. A running section 'cos someone nicked your bike outside Glasgow Uni. A 150km gravel route round Whitelee Wind Farm because it's impossible to find a way out.

Don't knock it until you've tried it (and then get stuck in with the knocking as it isn't tasty!).

Promising iconic Glaswegian architecture

That'll be Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile then, right up to the point they go to Glasgow for the uci, can't find the castle and replace it with

and Scottish scenery

Tenements, flat roofed pubs and thistles.

Wouldn’t it be good if Zwift moved to real world videos rather than this pretend stuff

I like the pretend stuff, it's a game. Other platforms are going for the realism angle if that's what you want. Me I like volcanoes and dinosaurs when I'm blowing out my arse.

Hope they make Scotland better than France, Yorkshire, and/or Richmond. Innsbruck is not too bad. Remember the Bologna giro tt? What happened to that? It won't be that bad surely.

Wahoo are going to release a new accessory to go with the Scotland course.

The Kickr Drizl.

Just top it up with water and it will spray a lovely cooling mist over you as your ride.
