Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of November 15-16

We’re featuring an eclectic mix of community events this weekend: a wildly popular new TT series, a fat-oxidizing group ERG session, a new long race series, an endurance ride, and a popular new race league. See all the details below!

✅ Popular  ✅ Race of Truth

This week, Cycling Time Trials (CTT) – the national governing body for time trials in England, Scotland, and Wales – launched their Winter Time Trial Series on Zwift. And it’s proving hugely popular, with several hundred finishers in the kickoff event!

Saturday is your last chance to complete the kickoff event on Watopia’s Tempus Fugit (19.6km, 16m), and we see over 350 riders already signed up, making this the most popular event of the weekend.

✅ Popular  ✅ Structured Workout

This popular ERG workout series is structured like a small local training camp, with 6 sessions spread over 2 weeks. Session #3 is 80 minutes long, and the description says, “In the third session, things are a bit more relaxed: we’re training in the FatMax zone, right at the point of maximal fat oxidation.”

✅ Long Race  ✅ Series Kickoff

This weekend, DBR launches a new 6-week race series featuring events on longer routes. DBR says, “It’s not a SufferDay League, but maybe a light version of it.”

The kickoff race is on 5 laps of Coastal Crown Loop for a total length of 84km with 1006m of elevation.

✅ Popular  ✅ Endurance Effort

The folks at Rad Race have organized a 12-week structured workout series on Zwift. Goal: To improve maximum oxygen uptake (VO₂max) – the basis for sustainable performance development on the bike.

See the series homepage and details >

Saturday’s group ride isn’t a structured workout, but rather an endurance group ride: 3 hours at 2-3 W/kg on France’s flat R.G.V. route. Rad Race says the goal of the ride is to “Build your aerobic base – the foundation for all training zones. Perfect for active recovery and balancing out your VO₂max week.”

VirtuSlo’s popular 4Endurance League began last weekend, and this weekend’s stage 2 has a lot of signups! Riders will be racing two laps of Greater London Loop Reverse (41.4km, 511m).

The 4Endurance League is a 6-race series held over a 6-week period. You can find out about the other races and more league info in the event description.

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!
