With so much happening in our virtual cycling paradise, it’s easy to miss some really cool rides! Here are 5 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.
Watch a Race (or Two!)
There are two special Zwift races that will be lots of fun to watch this weekend. First, we have Chris Froome taking on Kevin Pietersen and other celebrities in a staggered-start race. Will Froome have what it takes to overtake everyone for the win on the Volcano Climb route? Watch it Sunday at 7:30pm BST/2.30pm EDT/11.30am PDT on Sky Sports Main Event Action and Mix, as well as the Sky Sports YouTube channel and Zwift’s YouTube channel.
Secondly, Team Ineos is hosting their second eRace, this time on Yorkshire’s Tour of Tewit Well route. This is just INEOS team members going head to head, and if it’s anything like their first race, it’ll be fun to watch! Watch it on Zwift’s YouTube channel Saturday at 5pm BST/noon EDT/9am PDT.
Ride a Fondo
The first event in a 3-month Fondo series targeting Australia and New Zealand happens this weekend. That means it happens Friday in the USA!
Pride On
This is the first Saturday of Zwift’s month-long Pride Month series of celebratory ride and run events. The rides already have hundreds signed up! Join to celebrate Zwifters of all stripes, share some Pride Ons, and unlock the jersey.

Get Your 25-Lap Volcano Badge
The weekly L’Equipe Provence Badge Hunter Series has one goal: to check off a difficult course or achievement every week! This week, it’s 25 laps of the Volcano Circuit. Remember: teamwork makes the dreamwork! Stick together, use the group draft, and encourage each other in the chat and Discord.
