While Zwift’s big tours such as Tour of Watopia and Tour de Zwift are quite popular, they only come once a year. So Zwift has announced the first round of a new monthly group ride series, saying, “These rides are designed to mirror the experiences that zwifters have come to expect with our larger Tours, but at a shorter, scaled-back level.”
Like Zwift’s ZRacing series, each month of the Zwift Ride Series will feature weekly stages planned around a monthly theme. But these are group rides, not races. As Zwift says, “It’s not about speed—it’s all about having fun and finding your pack.”
The series kicks off in June with a “Coastal Cruise” theme with selected routes in tropical and coastal locations. So even if you aren’t able to swing that family trip to Maui this year, you can always escape into Zwift!
