YouTubers Adam (Road to A), Liam (LiamShawLevelsUp), and Steven (Bike Bonk Biff) are back for a rematch in their innovative community vs. community Zwift race! This is a novel event on several levels and has more signups than any other event this weekend.
Riders choose which team they’re on by changing their in-game name. Then it’s all about earning points for your team based on your finishing position and power numbers. Be sure to read the event description for all the details!
The race is on one lap of New York’s Empire Elevation route (26km, 266m).

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!
