Bo Bikes Zwift
Two-sport legend and Alabama native Bo Jackson is teaming up with Zwift for Reason to lead a ride and raise funds for the Alabama Governor’s Emergency Relief Fund. Bo’s annual “Bo Bikes Bama” ride is typically held outdoors, but it’s been moved inside this year.
Zwifters who complete the ride will unlock the in-game “Bo Bikes Bama” kit.
Zwift with reason and help spread the word by setting up a fundraising page on zwift.com. Zwift will match funds raised by the community dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000. The top 3 fund raisers will get their hands on some next level goodies from Bo. Visit here to get started: https://www.zwift.com/bobikesbama

ZHR Audax 200km
Go long, working with others, at whatever pace you’d like! An Audax is a cycling event in which participants attempt to cycle the distance within a pre-defined time limit. It is a non-competitive sport: success in an event is measured by its completion within the specified time limits, and everyone receives equal recognition regardless of their finishing order. Choose the category that matches your desired pace, then enjoy the camaraderie!
Saturday @ 8:15 am GMT / 4:15 am EDT / 1:15 am PDT
