    TNP’s London–Watopia Stage Race Announced: Five Worlds In Five Days, March 11-15

    TNP’s London–Watopia Stage Race Announced: Five Worlds In Five Days, March 11-15

    Team Not Pogi just announced TNP’s London–Watopia, a five-stage race across five different Zwift worlds from March 11-15, 2026. Each stage features a distinctive route, ranging from flat to punchy to pure climbing.

    This is not a one-night effort. There are no rest days.

    This is stage racing.

    What Makes It Special

    While there are hundreds of races on Zwift each week, true multi-day stage racing remains rare. TNP’s London–Watopia rewards resilience, tactical awareness, and the ability to perform under pressure across five distinct racing environments.

    The Format

    • 5 stages
    • 5 consecutive days
    • One different Zwift world per stage
    • Mass category starts

    Zwift Racing Score Categories:

    • A: 850+
    • B: 650–840
    • C: 450–640
    • D: 250–440
    • E: 0–240

    Classifications and Results

    With multiple classifications, every second matters. Every stage counts.

    • GC – Cumulative Time
    • Points Classification
    • KOM Classification
    • Team Classification

    For results, head to team-not-pogi-hub.vercel.app/results

    Route and Schedule Details

    Races are held at two times daily:

    • 11am UTC/6am ET/3am PT
    • 7pm UTC/2pm ET/11am PT

    From flat city circuits to rolling Yorkshire roads and a decisive alpine queen stage in Innsbruck, the terrain shifts daily. Sprinters will look to London. Punchy riders may target Yorkshire. Climbers will circle Stage 3. And by the time Watopia arrives, GC gaps could be razor-thin.

    • Stage 1 – Wednesday, March 11 – London
      • Greater London Flat (2 laps)
      • 29km, 104m
    • Stage 2 – Thursday, March 12 – Yorkshire
      • Royal Pump Room 8
      • 27.5km, 490m
    • Stage 3 – Friday, March 13 – Innsbruck
      • Lutscher (Queen Stage)
      • 24.6km, 828m
    • Stage 4 – Saturday, March 14 – Makuri Islands
      • Countryside Tour
      • 16.2km, 185m
    • Stage 5 – Sunday, March 15 – Watopia
      • Figure 8 Reverse

    Alpecin-Premier Tech Team Camp Workout Series Announced

    Alpecin-Premier Tech Team Camp Workout Series Announced

    A new Zwift workout series begins on March 2, hosted by WorldTour pros Alpecin-Premier Tech. It’s a 5-week series, with a new workout featured each week to help you build speed and endurance. And you’ll unlock some fun team kit along the way!

    Special events in the series feature some of the biggest names in cycling as guest riders, including Jasper Philipsen and Mathieu van der Poel (see event links below).

    Workouts and Schedule

    Workouts are scheduled every 2 hours daily for the duration of the series, with a make-up week in case you miss a workout.

    Workout 1: March 2-8 on Tempus Fugit

    This is where it all begins. Build the engine that carries you through every workout in this camp. Steady endurance efforts train your body to produce energy more efficiently, helping you ride longer, go farther, and feel stronger with every pedal stroke. Set the tone today—everything builds from here!

    Length: 60 minutes

    Special Guest Rider Events:
    Join Jasper Philipsen on March 3 @ 2pm UTC/9am ET/6am PT >

    Workout 2: March 9-March 15 on Gentil 8

    Get ready for a power-focused session built around high-torque intervals and structured recovery. Each effort builds the strength you need for explosive moments, and every recovery helps you reset and go again. This is where raw power starts to show up!

    Length: 52 minutes

    Special Guest Rider Events:
    Join Luca Vergallito on March 9 @ 6pm UTC/1pm ET/10am PT >
    Join Noah Ramsay on March 16 @ 3pm UTC/10am ET/7am PT >

    Workout 3: March 16-March 22 on Makuri 40

    This session sharpens your ability to ride smoothly and confidently at tempo pace. You’ll practice holding a steady rhythm like the peloton, with short pushes toward FTP to prepare when the pace lifts. Calm, controlled—this is where flow meets fitness.

    Length: 90 minutes

    Special Guest Rider Events:
    Join Kaden Groves on March 23 @ 10am UTC/5am ET/2am PT >

    Workout 4: March 23-29 on Greatest London Flat

    This session builds explosive power and increases anaerobic capacity. You’ll tackle short, high-intensity efforts above threshold, each followed by controlled recovery. The goal is simple: hit every interval with focus and intent. This is race-style power—sharp, repeatable, and decisive.

    Length: 78 minutes

    Special Guest Rider Events:
    Join Mathieu van der Poel on March 30 @ 10am UTC/5am ET/2am PT >

    Workout 5: March 30-April 5 on Spinfinity

    This final session brings it all together. Two long tempo efforts build strong, sustainable endurance and reward the work you’ve done. Settle into a steady rhythm, stay composed, and finish the Alpecin–Premier Tech Training Camp strong!

    Length: 65 minutes

    Make-Up Week: April 6-12

    Zwift Update Version 1.108 (159025) Released

    Zwift Update Version 1.108 (159025) Released

    Zwift version 1.108 begins its phased rollout today. This is a minor update, but there are a few new Climb Portals included that we’ll get to ride in the coming months, plus changes to Coffee Stops which regular users will want to know about. See details below…

    New Climb Portals

    Although not mentioned in the release notes, today’s update includes three new climbs for the Climb Portal. These are the first climbs added to the library since April 2025!

    All three are short Belgian climbs known for their inclusion in iconic sprint classics. My guess is we’ll see these on the Climb Portal calendar for April 2026:

    NameLengthElevation GainGradient
    Paterberg0.4km45m11.9%
    Koppenberg0.6km63m10.8%
    Mur de Huy1.3km124m9.8%

    In case you’re wondering: yes, these are very short climbs! Look how close together the 10 arches are on the Paterberg:

    The Paterberg is now the shortest climb in the library, with the Koppenberg 2nd-shortest and Mur de Huy 4th.

    Coffee Stop Fixes/Changes

    Today’s release, as well as the previous update, contains several changes and fixes for Zwift’s Coffee Stop feature, effectively making it “Coffee Stop v2”. Here’s the full list of what has changed…

    Bug Fixes

    • Game v1.107: Fixed issues where Coffee Stop was permanently greyed out throughout the activity, but was supposed to be available. (This happened when users jumped from a workout to an event through the ‘join event’ pop-up.)
    • Game v1.108: Fixed issues where towing abruptly stopped, and shouldn’t have:
      • When triggered before the final 5km of a distance-based event, or the final 15 minutes of a time-based event. Where towing used to abruptly stop when you hit 5km or 15 minutes to go, it will now continue through the end of the Coffee Stop timer.
      • When finishing the cooldown portion of an event, the activity automatically transitions into a free ride. If you triggered your Coffee Stop during the cooldown, towing used to suddenly stop right when the cooldown ended and the free ride began. It will now continue through the end of the Coffee Stop timer.
      • Your momentum and selected route will now continue after an intersection if your “tow truck” turns onto a different route.

    What’s New

    • Earlier Availability: The 3-minute Coffee Stop is now available starting at the 5-minute mark, instead of 30 minutes into the ride. It will be available at the 5-minute mark even if you use the 30-second Coffee Stop in those first 5 minutes. (Hurray!)
    • Hover Tooltips: If the Coffee Stop icon is greyed out/disabled, hovering over it will now display the reason.
    • Activity Reset Logic: Coffee Stop timers and availability are now correctly reset whenever switching between different activity types where Coffee Stops are allowed (i.e. non-competitive group rides, and rides that don’t involve a structured workout), or returning to the Home Screen.

    Note: These behaviors remain unchanged:

    • Coffee Stop is disabled in all competitive events and structured workouts.
    • Full 3-minute Coffee Stops regenerate 30 minutes after the previous one ended.
    • You need at least one other Zwifter nearby headed in the same direction.

    Windows Folder Relocation

    In late-breaking news not mentioned in the release notes, today (February 24) Zwift flipped the switch to begin rolling out a folder change for Windows users.

    Zwift files (logs, .FIT files, workouts, prefs.xml, and more) have always been written to \Documents\Zwift on Windows machines, but after this change, they will be written to \Users\AppData\Local\Zwift\ (or whatever folder is designated for %LocalAppData% on your Windows PC). This is being done to better follow Windows standards and to reduce errors caused when cloud storage tools like OneDrive interact with active Zwift files (e.g., error z117).

    The folder relocation happens automatically in the background. Once it happens, new activities are written to the new folder, while old activities remain in the old folder.

    You will need Zwift Launcher v1.1.15+ and Zwift game v1.107+ installed in order for the change to take place. Check your versions by right-clicking the Zwift logo in your system tray. As of February 24, the change has been activated for a small percentage of users. It should be rolled out to everyone in the coming weeks.

    Zwift will force a launcher update in the next month or so, but if you want to update now, download Zwift at zwift.com/downloads and run the installer. (Please note: Updating your Launcher version won’t force the folder change, but it increases your chances of seeing it kick in on your system sooner.)

    If you aren’t experiencing any errors running Zwift on Windows, then simply letting the Zwift app do its thing automatically is probably the easiest and smartest move. The folder change should happen with zero intervention on your part sometime in the next month.

    See the Launcher v1.1.15 thread for more info >

    Revised Strava Activity Descriptions

    Zwift says, “We’ve simplified how Zwift activities appear on Strava by shortening activity titles and moving the route and world into the description. This change applies only to events, workouts, and RoboPacer rides.”

    Here are shots of a Robopacer ride before and after this change. Nice change!

    Computrainer Connection Fix

    Racermate earned legend status years ago in the indoor cycling community due to their bombproof CompuTrainers. And even though Racermate closed up shop in 2017 (after 40 years making trainers!), there are still a number of Zwifters rolling CompuTrainers.

    Unfortunately, back in January, Windows released a driver update for Win10 users that broke Zwift’s connection to CompuTrainer devices. (Or was it a Zwift update that caused the issue? Read the 120+ comment thread and decide.) Whatever the cause, today’s update includes a fix. Zwift says, “Windows: Improved an issue that could cause CompuTrainer devices to not appear in the Pairing screen after a recent Windows Update driver update.”

    Release Notes

    Zwift supplied the following additional release notes:

    • Fixed an issue that could cause the Goal Met notification banner to incorrectly appear in-game.
    • Fixed an issue that could cause the level-up visual effect to display the wrong level.
    • Fixed an issue that could cause level-up notifications to not appear in the Zwifters Nearby list when riding in Climb Portal.
    • Fixed an issue that could cause Apple Watch to appear as “UNKNOWN DEVICE” in the Pairing Screen.
    • Fixed an issue that could cause workout arches to render incorrectly in the Watopia volcano.
    • Fixed an issue that could cause minor visual discrepancies between the Race Score shown in the Zwift post-ride progress report vs. Zwift Companion. This only affected the display of Race Score – the underlying values were unaffected.

    Zagreb Virtucup Brings Croatian Riders and Friends Together Indoors

    Zagreb Virtucup Brings Croatian Riders and Friends Together Indoors

    Last week, the Zagreb Cycling Federation took an important step into the world of virtual cycling by launching Zagreb League 1, the first organized virtual cycling league of its kind in Croatia. Organizers tell me the idea behind the league is simple: to promote virtual cycling as an accessible and enjoyable form of training and racing – especially during the colder, rainy winter months when outdoor riding is limited.

    The debut race delivered an impressive turnout, with 129 riders on the start line, including around 40 riders from Croatia. Feedback after the first race was overwhelmingly positive, and with five races still to come, the hope is that even more riders will join this week!

    What makes it special?

    There’s a lot about the Zagreb League’s setup that makes it stand out from the crowd:

    • Age-Based Results: Race categories are divided into five age-based groups, allowing riders to participate even if they do not yet have an established FTP on Zwift. This makes the league especially welcoming for new Zwifters.
    • Gender-Based Results: While race signups are age-based, the final race results on ZwiftPower and all bonus point allocations are additionally split by gender. This means that women and men each have their own full set of five age-category rankings, ensuring fair competition and equal recognition across the league.
    • Alternating Scratch + Points Progressive Races: The league includes 3 Scratch races and 3 Points races, with courses becoming progressively hillier as the series unfolds (see routes below).
    • Best of 5: Although the first race has already taken place, the overall league standings are calculated from the best five results out of six, so it’s not too late to join.
    • Neutralized Bikes: Equipment is fully neutralized, so beginners aren’t disadvantaged.
    • Steering and Braking Disabled: So no riders have a steering advantage over others.
    • Mass Starts: Races feature mass starts, and results do not affect the Zwift Racing Score, allowing riders to participate without pressure and focus on enjoyment rather than rankings alone.

    Schedule and Routes

    Zagreb League 1 consists of six races, held weekly on Thursdays at 18:20 UTC/13:20 ET/10:20 PT, running until the end of March.

    • February 26: Coast to Coast (26.8km, 163m) – Points Race
      • Powerups: Draft/Aero/Ghost
    • March 5: Turf N Surf (24.7km, 196m) – Scratch Race
      • Powerups: Feather/Draft/Steamroller
    • March 12: The Muckle Yin (23.7km, 281m) – Points Race
      • Powerups: Feather/Draft/Steamroller
    • March 19: London Uprising (20.9km, 356m) – Scratch Race
      • Powerups: Feather/Burrito/Anvil
    • March 26: Royal Pump Room 8 (27.7km, 390m) – Points Race

    ZWB Omnium Tuesdays Announced: 4 Unique Races, Combined

    ZWB Omnium Tuesdays Announced: 4 Unique Races, Combined

    Tomorrow, ZWB Cycling is holding the second edition of their fresh Zwift race concept: the ZWB Omnium!

    While the omnium concept isn’t entirely new to Zwift, it’s an uncommon competition format due to the heavy lifting organizers have to do in planning races and compiling results. The good folks at ZWB Cycling have certainly put in the effort, choosing thoughtful routes, setting up a sensible rules structure, and creating a website to share details and results.

    What Makes It Special

    Each week features a set of four unique back-to-back races combining into one intense omnium competition. Riders earn points based on their performance in each race, and the combined points total determines overall ranking. Plan on 90 minutes of combined speed, endurance, and strategy!

    The 4 races are in the following formats:

    • Prologue: A short, individual TT. The race of truth!
    • Sprint Quali: No hiding! Fastest sprint wins.
    • Spicy Scratch: A climbing battle where the first across the line wins.
    • Crit Royale: Combines segment points and finish points for the final battle!

    These are mass start races, although riders sign up based on Zwift Racing Score groupings. Riders are separated into ZwiftRacing.app vELO Score leagues (which roughly map to ZRS groupings) for the final results.

    Schedule and Routes

    Races happen every Tuesday through April 2026, starting at 19:45 CET/18:45 UTC/13:35 ET/10:45 PT. See upcoming events >

    Courses change each week, with details and writeups available at zwbomnium.netlify.app. This week’s routes are Scotland-themed:

    • Prologue: Loch Loop (6km)
    • Sprint Quali: Glasgow Crit Circuit (2 Laps, 6km)
    • Spicy Scratch: City and the Sgurr (14.5km, custom finish)
    • Crit Royale: Glasgow Reverse (5 laps, 15km)

    Sign up at zwift.com/events/tag/zwbomnium >

    Results, Rules, + More

    You must be registered on ZwiftPower.com to be included in the final results.

    Racers: Iceni Women’s Spring Classics Series Begins March 3

    Racers: Iceni Women’s Spring Classics Series Begins March 3

    The popular Iceni Women’s Series is back, celebrating Women’s History Month with a 5-week series inspired by the legendary WorldTour Spring Classics! Presented by The Warrior Games and The Femme Cycle Collab, each race mimics the demands of an iconic race, from relentless tempo to all-out attacks, delivering a true test of strength, strategy, and resilience.

    Weekly races begin on March 3rd. Here are the details…

    About the Name

    The Iceni tribe was ‘peacefully annexed’ by the Roman Empire at some point before 47 AD, though it was allowed some autonomy. When the king died and Boudicca I became High Queen of Iceni, the Roman Empire saw her unfit to rule and invaded the region. Iceni led a revolt against the Roman Empire and regained its independence, along with the independence of several other tribes. This led to the subsequent formation of the Comhairle, an alliance of the British tribes. Iceni had a major say in Comhairle affairs and became an important center of trade, military, and leadership.

    Schedule and Route Details

    Races are held on Tuesdays, and there are two time slots to choose from:

    • Slot 1: 6pm UTC/1pm ET/10am PT

    Points and Series Rankings

    The overall series GC ranking is based on your points total for the series across Challenges 1-5. In the event of a tie, the rider with the highest total QOM points will be declared the winner.

    Sprint and QOM segments listed for each race award points to the first 6 riders across the line:

    • 1st – 10 points
    • 2nd – 8 points
    • 3rd – 6 points
    • 4th – 4 points
    • 5th – 2 points
    • 6th – 1 point

    Riders also receive points based on their finishing position in their category for each race. The top five score 100, 95, 90, 86, 83, and every place after that drops by 1 point.

    Each time slot will have its own league on ZwiftPower. If you’re going for the overall series competition, you’ll need to finish all five races in the same timeslot.

    Team Competition

    For Team GC, the top three riders from each team will combine their points to determine the overall team ranking.

    🤝 BMTR Cares Michael Lander Memorial Ride

    Top-down view of three cyclists in matching black BMTR jerseys riding on a road, with the BMTR logo featuring a bear on the left side of the image.

    ✅ Popular  ✅ Memorial Ride  ✅ Good Cause

    Join the BMTR and friends as they approach the one-year anniversary of teammate Michael Lander’s untimely passing at the age of 56 due to previously undiagnosed heart issues.

    This BMTR Cares event is fundraising in partnership with Michael’s sister, Rebecca Lander, for Sports Cardiology Toronto, a cause that perfectly reflects Michael’s passion for ultra-endurance sport and helps protect other athletes and families from the same devastating loss. 

    Donate at fundraiseforstmikes.ca/fundraisers/rebeccalander

    The ride is on Watopia’s Accelerate to Elevate (43.5km, 1158m), and everyone will stop for a moment of silence just past the Alpe’s 7th bend, where Michael’s memorial is written on the tarmac. Rebecca (Bex) will be there as well.

    🤝PACK🐺 Banded Buddies

    This ride has a lot to love. It’s banded, so riders of all abilities can stay together as long as they keep pedaling. It’s on the new Three Step Sisters route (38.1km, 587m), which launched to host the final stage of Zwift Games 2026.

    Finish this ride to recon the Games’ Queen Stage, or to check this route off your list and earn the badge!

    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!
