Zwift has just rolled out a new Euro-centric monthly fondo series in partnership with pro team Alpecin Cycling. The “Alpecin Cycling Series” includes a big prize drawing and a chance to try to hold the wheel of cycling superstar Mathieu Van der Poel. It all kicks off this Sunday, June 28!
Is this a Race?
Officially, no. But many riders will treat these as races. Ride your ride. Find a group traveling at your pace and enjoy the challenge!
Schedule
There is one fondo each month for June, July, and August:
- Sunday, June 28 (9am BST/4am EDT/1am PDT) – Sign up at zwift.com/events/view/887314
- Sunday, July 26 (9am BST/4am EDT/1am PDT) – Sign up at zwift.com/events/view/887332
- Sunday, August 30 (9am BST/4am EDT/1am PDT) – Sign up at zwift.com/events/view/887334
Routes
Each month’s event is set up the same way. The category you select determines which route you will ride.
Prize Drawing*
There is a giveaway associated with this fondo series, but it’s only for Zwifters in particular countries. The official rules state “The Promotion is open to individuals who reside in the countries of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxemburg, Belgium or the Netherlands and are 18 years of age or older as of date of entry…”
The grand prize is a Wahoo KICKR bike and Headwind fan. In addition, Zwift is giving away 10 Alpecin-Fenix sets (jersey + bib short) and 50 Alpecin Caffeine shampoo product sets.
We reached out to Zwift HQ for clarification on these drawings and confirmed that only Zwifters in the countries listed above are eligible to win these prizes. This is due to Alpecin’s market and product availability.
