With more big events than ever in our virtual cycling paradise, it’s easy to miss some really cool rides! Here are 5 events this weekend that you won’t want to miss.

Special thanks to Jesper at ZwiftHacks with his Events app which provides powerful event filtering tools so we can narrow the weekend list from 400+ events to just a handful.

Join the team Arkea-Samsic ride led by world-renowned climbers Nairo Quintana and Warren Barguil. Climb the epic KOM on your Canyon Ultimate with the two pros at an easy pace at the bottom ramping up to a race pace at the top of the climb. Try to hang on as long as possible! Arkea Pro Cycling Team women riders will be present too.

Fondos are long, mass-start rides which you can ride at your pace. Many riders will race the event, but for some, simply finishing the challenging course is victory enough! We’ve selected two fondos to feature this weekend:

• The BMTR Fundo: distance varies by category from 36-100 miles, on Watopia’s The Magnificent 8. Saturday @ 1:10 pm BST / 8:10 am EDT / 5:10 am PDT
• OTAKAM Granfondo Series: a shorter fondo at 34.4 miles, this event has you cover 2 laps of Yorkshire’s Royal Pump Room 8. Sunday @ 1:30 pm BST / 8:30 am EDT / 5:30 am PDT

Unlock the achievement badge for Watopia’s Muir and the Mountain route while joining Movistar pros including Alejandro Valverde, Enric Mas, Carlos Verona, Barbara Guarischi, Aude Biannic and many other big names from both men’s and women’s squads. This ride is in support of the Spanish Red Cross, to help health workers and those most affected by COVID-19.
