LAST UPDATED July 13, 2023

Grab some elevation towards the “Climb Mt. Everest” challenge with BanditZ’s banded Tronathon event! We’re also highlighting a new endurance group ride, a fast-paced training ride, a group workout, and a classic social ride.

🥇 BanditZ Tronathon (Banded)

✅ Popular Event 　✅ Beginner Friendly

For those looking to do some climbing or gain some elevation for the Everest challenge, Banditz is hosting its weekly Tronathon event on Sunday. The ride is banded, meaning the group will stick together no matter how hard riders are pushing. This is a great way for newer/slower riders to participate in a group ride.

The ride takes place on the Road to Sky course and finishes at the top, so riders can descend as quickly as they’d like!

This weekend, ZZRC is hosting its Cardio Challenge group workout. The group ride aims to combine the social element of their usual group rides with a bit of structure to help riders gain fitness.

How We Make Our Picks

We choose each weekend’s Notable Events based on a variety of factors including:

Is the event unique/innovative in some way?
Are celebrities (pro riders, etc) attending/leading?
Are signup counts already high, meaning the event is extra-popular?
Does the ride include desirable unlocks or prizes?
Does the event appeal to ladies on Zwift? (We like to support this under-represented group!)
Is it for a good cause?
Is it just plain crazy (extra long races, world record attempts, etc)?
Is it a long-running, popular weekly event with a dedicated leader who deserves a shout out?

In the end, we want to call attention to events that are extra-special and therefore extra-appealing to Zwifters. If you think your event qualifies, comment below with a link/details and we may just include it in an upcoming post!
