Oh, Hill No. Smashing your legs uphill, then spinning back down.

The "Oh Hill No" route in Zwift is all about one thing: testing your limits on a steep climb. It's essentially a dedicated route for performing an FTP (Functional Threshold Power) test. Here's a breakdown:
Focus on The Grade: This route is centered around "The Grade" KOM (King of the Mountain), a 3.5km climb with an average gradient of 8.6%. It's designed to be a challenging and consistent climb, perfect for gauging your sustainable power output.
Straight to the Point: Unlike many routes with lead-ins or gradual inclines, "Oh Hill No" starts you right at the base of The Grade. This means you'll be hitting the climb almost immediately, so make sure you're properly warmed up beforehand.
FTP Test Functionality: Zwift uses your performance on The Grade to calculate your FTP. By giving it your maximum effort on this climb, Zwift can estimate the power you can sustain for an hour, a key metric for measuring your cycling fitness.
Short and Sweet (or Not So Sweet): The route is relatively short, focusing almost entirely on the climb and a short descent back down. This makes it efficient for testing purposes, but it also means you'll be putting in a hard effort for the majority of the ride.
In essence, "Oh Hill No" is a no-nonsense route designed for one purpose: to push you to your limits on The Grade and provide an accurate assessment of your FTP. It's not a scenic tour or a leisurely ride; it's a test of your strength and endurance. If you're looking to establish your training zones or track your progress, this is the route for you.
