The brand new map was created for the UCI cycling esports world championships, taking inspiration from the Scottish landscape and the city of Glasgow, which alongside other venues across Scotland will play host to the inaugural 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships in August next year.
On Friday, Erin Min, the co-founder on Zwift posted a video of some of it and it sure looks fun!

If you head on to the achievements page, you’ll see there are also five badges for the new Scotland routes: Rolling Highlands, City and the Sgurr, Glasgow Crit Circuit, Loch Loop, and The Muckle Yin.
According to Zwift the Scotland map was inspired by the bucolic Scottish landscape, the city of Glasgow’s distinctive architecture, and the surrounding areas. As you ride through the new map you’ll be able to recognize famous landmarks and attractions. That means keep you should keep your eyes peeled for castles, mountains, and various cityscapes.
