March’s Zwift Fondos are this Weekend!

Zwift’s 2022 zFondo series ends this weekend with the March fondo events. Don’t miss this last chance to unlock an exclusive jersey while joining thousands of Zwifters working together to put in big efforts!

March Fondo Schedule

February’s set of Zwift Fondo events kicks off at 12am Friday, March 4, which is 7pm EST/4pm PST Thursday, March 3.

Events repeat every 5 hours until Sunday, March 6th at 10pm GMT/5pm EST/2pm PST. There are a total of 15 events currently scheduled.

Kit Unlocks

This is a 3-month series, and each month’s fondo has its own unique kit unlock. These kits are exclusive, meaning they will never be available anywhere else in game. A true badge of honor! Here’s a shot of all three kits:

From left to right: March, January, and February kits.

Routes

Zwift Fondo events have three categories (A, B, and C) which are open to all riders. These categories don’t refer to rider strength or speed – they determine which route you will ride.

And this year Zwift has created a fresh set of fondo routes! Here they are (click for route details):

A: 2022 Gran Fondo - 94km (58.4 miles), 1,141m (3,743′)

B: 2022 Medio Fondo - 77.2km (48 miles), 924m (3,031′)

C: 2022 Bambino Fondo - 52.3km (32.5 miles), 400m (1,312′)

Is this a Race?

Officially, no. But hundreds (possibly thousands) of riders will turn out for each of these popular “fun race” events, and the front of each category will certainly be filled with strong riders going all out.

As Zwift says, “This is not a race, but some will choose to ride it like one. Do what’s comfortable, and go at your own pace.”

These events have double draft mode enabled, so be sure to work with others when possible, since this conserves energy.

I’ve got to admit, a nice kit does motivate me to participate. But most of the kits are, um, not so nice, and that motivated me to avoid the events to prevent further cluttering up my garage!

I don´t want another kits at all until we can finally clean out the garage ourselves. So I avoid Tour of Zwift, Tour of Watopia and another rides with #kitunlock

I like this kit better than January’s, but the February one looks miles better than this.
PS: Are there any updates on the ZI kit?

kit unlocked? Then I’m out. I have 70+ jerseys in the garage and I spend what feels like 10 minutes looking for a specific jersey for the TTT. That’s enough!

I did the Bambino Fondo tonight, but started a few km late, but got the finish banner at the end of the volcano climb, but not the notification I got the jersey. Will that come tomorrow or I won’t get it even though I did the ride, but did not start at the beginning?

I don’t know about everyone else but I’ve found one kit that I like and I just wear that. Can’t be bothered switching kits all the time and most of them are just plain fugly.
