We’ve got another fine mix of popular events this weekend, starting with two charity rides (including a vEveresting kickoff!) followed by two group rides celebrating anniversaries and special guests. Finally, we wrap up our picks with the last race of the popular SISU Pinkki series. See details below!
🤝 Cycle Nation Charity vEveresting for I Love Boobies Breast Cancer Screening
✅ Good Cause ✅ Popular ✅ Endurance Challenge
Join the Cycle Nation team and many others as they begin their vEveresting for charity event! Due to Zwift limitations, the actual event just covers the Road to Sky route, which means you’ll climb Alpe du Zwift once. Those attempting a vEverest will be doing repeats of Alpe du Zwift, completing it ~8.5 times for a total elevation of 8,848 meters.
Cycle Nation says, “Support us by joining us for one climb or more at your own pace and donating at iloveboobies.co.za. Everyone who completes the first ascent will unlock the Cycle Nation Zwift kit.”

✅ Good Cause ✅ Popular ✅ Special Guests ✅ Kit Unlock
Once again, one of the most popular rides this weekend is the open-paced Tour de 4 ride with Sir Chris Hoy (11x world champion and 6x Olympic champion). Tour de 4 is an initiative to change the perception of people living with stage 4 cancer and raise vital funds for cancer charities across the UK.

🤝OTR Snap Crackle Pop Punch Time (3-Year Anniversary)
✅ Intervals ✅ Unique Event ✅ Route Badge
Steve Fish from team OTR has been organizing the Snap Crackle Pop events since the beginning, and this weekend is their 3-year anniversary, so we wanted to give them a shout-out!
This is a group ride, race, and interval training all rolled into one fun challenging event. ZwiftPower is used to score the ride based on the sum of segment times on a route with punchy climbs and/or sprints (this week is Innsbruckring, so you’ll have the Leg Snapper KOM and Innsbruck Sprint as segments.) The group rides together at ~2wkg and the ride leader provides guidance and lead-outs to smash a segment. Then regroup, rinse, and repeat.

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!
