With so much happening in our virtual cycling paradise, it’s easy to miss some really cool rides! Here are 6 events this weekend you may want to check out.
Special thanks to Jesper at ZwiftHacks with his Events app which provides powerful event filtering tools that help us create this list each week.

Finish Your CeramicSpeed MTB Miles with Monica
Still need some MTB miles to finish up the CeramicSpeed Mission? Want to simply ride in the jungle with some friends? Join Monica on the Jungle Circuit this Saturday! Ride whenever you’d like, or join Monica who is starting at 4pm BST / 11am EDT / 8am PDT. (Note: this is not an official Zwift event, so you won’t see it listed in Companion.)
Tour for All – Final Make-Up Days
Got a stage or two to make up in order to complete the Tour for All? Saturday is your last chance to check off those final stages and unlock the TfA kit!
Remember, this is a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders, and Zwifters are encouraged to make a donation.
Multiple event times. See event schedule at zwift.com/tfaride
Try a Chase/Handicap Race
Have you ever tried a chase (or “handicap”) race? This fun event format releases categories starting with the slowest (D), with time gaps between each category calculated so the faster groups will come close to catching the slower groups near the finish line. It’s a wonderful mix of teamwork within your category, and competition with everyone. Here are five different chase race events this weekend:
- DIRT Dadurday Chase Race (with early and later event times)
- The – GO TBR / BDCC / SMCC Combine
- Peel Cycling – Sunday Chase
- ZHR Hare & Hounds
Join the Swarm – last chance!
The women’s only “Join the Swarm” events have been very popular, with the series extended for an extra month through the end of May. That means Saturday is your last chance to get in on a swarm ride with other ladies and unlock the kit!
Three different events scheduled for Saturday
