This weekend we’re featuring two very different group rides which are both hosted on France’s newish Knights of the Roundabout route. We’ve also got two chase races on our list, and we round it out with a charity event.
🤝 DWGZ Hot Hundo – Get Gritty!
✅ Endurance Challenge ✅ Route Badge
Nothing builds stamina like long rides, and the long-running Hot Hundo from DIRT is a long ride indeed! This weekly 100-miler is built “for those who thrive on long efforts, pushing limits, and embracing the burn together.”
This week’s ride is on Knights of the Roundabout, with a stated pace of 2.7-3.2 W/kg.

🥇 RiZZRL Memorial Day Race
✅ Popular Event ✅ Unique Race ✅ Chase Race
Here’s something you don’t see often on our notable events list – a private event (not on the public Zwift calendar)! Organizer Ben Rizzo wrote in to tell us about the race, which has over 150 riders signed up as of Thursday afternoon.
Tips: the race is set up like a chase race, with all categories visible and higher categories leaving after the lower ones. It also uses ZwiftRacing.app‘s VeloRanking for categorization, so you’ll need to be signed up for that site before you can choose the right category.
Riders are racing across 2 laps of Watopia’s Volcano Flat Reverse for a total length of 24.9km with 100m of climbing.

🥇 LEVEL Racing – Chase Race – Outer Scotland
✅ Women Only ✅ Chase Race ✅ Popular
This women-only event already has a solid number of signups. Held on two laps of the Outer Scotland route (22.5km, 209m), it’s a chase race where you need to work together to catch the group ahead and stay away from those chasing behind!

🤝 Spin & Win – Support our BIKEPARK + KLUB kit unlock
✅ Good Cause ✅ Popular Event ✅ Kit Unlock
This is a fun charity event that’s different from most we see. A leader and a “wildcard bike” will be riding in Zwift, and a sponsor is donating 2 euros for each kilometer ridden by those two people during the event. They’re asking other Zwifters to hop in and lend a draft to keep speeds high!
The event is a fundraiser for the new bikepark in the town of Coswig, Germany, and there are prizes! See event description for details.
This is a 2-hour event, hosted on Downtown Dolphin.

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!
