Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of December 3-5

It’s a big weekend on Zwift, with multiple big events to participate in, starting Friday. That’s right: this weekend begins early!

Biehler SYN Stage Race

Biehler produce cycling apparel and have been doing so for 15 years, growing into a global brand that uses the most advanced, functional, and eco-friendly fabrics.  And they have their very own cycling club, Syndicate Cycling Club (SYN).  The fundamental objective of the Biehler Syndicate Cycling Club is to “connect people with the same strong passion for cycling” so that “together we can face the problems that exist in our world, cultivating a better, more conscious and sustainable way of living.”

To celebrate this, they are hosting a 3-stage event on Zwift, with different disciplines to suit each type of rider. With such positive values, this is an event I am keen to be involved in.

It’s also worth noting that if you complete any stage you will unlock the Biehler SYN kit – exclusive only to this event.
