This weekend sees two epic events making our list… one on the Uber Pretzel and another a cycling marathon! There is also a women’s only TT to try and an epic mountain race to consider. It certainly is a big weekend…
3R Ultra Endurance Academy
The 3R Endurance Academy are embarking on arguably the most challenging route on Zwift, the “The Über Pretzel”. It’s 128.3km in length and before the latest expansions covered all the roads in Watopia, with a combined climbing total of 2335 metres!
If you don’t have this route badge, riding in a group like this will be the nicest way to achieve it. The ride will be paced around 2.5 w/kg, will take around 5 hours, and will be led by endurance cyclist Catherine Allen. As it is such a long route, a Discord channel has been created so you can chat along the route.
Saturday, November 27 @ 8am CET/7am GMT

Women’s Time Trial Racing Series p/b Herd Racing
This is a women-only TT event, hosted on Tempus Fugit. This is part of Herd’s Women’s 8-week Individual Time Trial Series and more detailed information can be found on our event details post.
Multiple dates and times this weekend. See custom ZwiftHacks link for upcoming events.
ZZRC – Saturday Club Ride – Radmarathon
This weekend a special challenge is being run based loosely on cycling marathons such as the Ötztal Cycling Marathon in Innsbruck.
Being based on a marathon, this event is a big one in terms of length. The first option is 10 laps of the 2018 UCI Worlds Short Lap totals 237.1km. The second option of 5 laps totals 118.6km whilst the third option is 3 laps, making 71.2km.
The event is being run on both Saturday and Sunday.
Good luck!
Two events:
Saturday and Sunday @ 10:25am CET/9:25am GMT/4:25am EST
dPAC Climbers Epic: Passo Stelvio
The dPAC-Elite Team raced my new Midweek Mountain Massif TT – Sponsored by Elite’s RIZER on Wednesday and I enjoyed battling it out with their riders on the lower slopes of the Ven-Top climb. Their race will see Zwifters tackling the Quatch Quest route which will make this very tactical.
Do you opt to try and breakaway on the Epic KOM and hope to build a lead to race up the mighty Alpe, or do you have enough faith in your climbing skills to stay in a group and battle it up the Alpe for the victory?
