AHDR Winter Tours Announced

The first week of August will see the Aussie Hump Day Ride Team (AHDR) kicking off their second annual Winter Tours. Aimed at Aussies with a 7:15pm AEST timeslot (that’s 5:15am EDT and 9:15am UTC), there are Women’s Tour events on four consecutive Monday nights and Open Tour events on four consecutive Tuesday nights.

The Tours group riders using Zwift pace categories (A-D), and each grade gets to race its own race. With General, Sprint, and KQOM Classifications, there’s something for everyone! Read on for details…

Route Descriptions

The Tours feature four iconic Zwift race courses in Neokyo, France, Austria, and Scotland.

The first week kicks off in Neokyo and the All Nighter course. 24km of racing with an elevation of 241m should see racers battle it out early over the opening 4 sprints before racers hit the Rooftop KOM, which will be the place for any climbers to launch their attacks to go for the win! 

The following week, the Tour heads to France and the Hell of the North course for a 19.8km race with 4 sprints before racers contest an uphill finish up the Petite KOM.

Week 3 sees the Tour head to Austria’s Innsbruckring course for 3 laps of the Legsnapper raced over 27km. The Legsnapper will be the place for anyone to launch their attacks. With KOM points on the climb followed shortly after by the Sprint prime, this course will see climbers having a dig at both the KOM and the Sprint points.

The last week is one for the all-rounders with Scotland’s Muckle Yin providing plenty of opportunities to grab those KOM and Sprint points as you race for glory.
