🤝 Amersham RCC Winter Series (Bonus Race)
✅ Popular Event ✅Innovative Format
The Amersham RCC Winter Series is in its sixth year, taking place every Sunday during the indoor season. It is a traditional group ride with a kick! Up until the last lap, the leader will be holding ~2 w/kg. However, once riders reach the last lap, riders can choose to race it. In order to count in the final ZwiftPower results, riders must be behind the leader when the lap starts.
This weekend’s event will be taking place on the Fine and Sandy course in the Makuri Islands.

How We Make Our Picks
We choose each weekend’s Notable Events based on a variety of factors including:
- Is the event unique/innovative in some way?
- Are celebrities (pro riders, etc) attending/leading?
- Are signup counts already high, meaning the event is extra-popular?
- Does the ride include desirable unlocks or prizes?
- Does the event appeal to ladies on Zwift? (We like to support this under-represented group!)
- Is it for a good cause?
- Is it just plain crazy (extra long races, world record attempts, etc)?
- Is it a long-running, popular weekly event with a dedicated leader who deserves a shout out?
In the end, we want to call attention to events that are extra-special and therefore extra-appealing to Zwifters. If you think your event qualifies, comment below with a link/details and we may just include it in an upcoming post!
