The theme for this weekend’s picks is “Out of your comfort zone.” For one event in particular, this is putting it mildly!
Hardness Weekend Race powered by KALAS eSRT
This is the longest event I have ever seen on Zwift. As it says in the Companion app, “First of its kind, be sure to take part in this.”
The distance is 560km, or if that is too much, try a mere 208 km, in France. The details for the different event categories are as follows but you also need to sign up by completing this form.
This is a ride that will certainly take you “out of your comfort zone” and probably well beyond!

Into the Red by RELENTLESS (No HUD)
Let’s confess. Many of us are slaves to data in Zwift, constantly checking power, heart rate, and any other bit of information that we think will help us put in a good performance. However, this race strips it all away as this is a No Heads Up Display event, which means you will be racing on “feel.”
Personally speaking, I am a ‘slave to data’ so an event like this would certainly take me “out of my comfort zone.” I actually think this would be quite fun and a throwback to the old days before we got obsessed by data. Certainly one to try.

Monday’s Mountain Massif – Sunday Recce
Join me as I lead my first group ride (I will be well “out of my comfort zone”)! But I won’t be alone, with Zwift legend Tim Searle on hand to provide advice and guidance. He joins me as part of our two-part Zwift Insider article highlighting the challenges of leading group rides. I will also be joined by members of the 3R VEveresting Academy as they look to shake off any aches and pains from their previous VEveresting success.
