    Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of August 28-29

    Without a lot of high-profile events going on this weekend, we decided to focus on good causes for our picks. Zwifters have always been an amazingly supportive bunch. Let’s keep up the good work and get out there to help in any way we can!

    Vitality for UNICEF Ride Series

    You may have read my post earlier in the week about this ride.

    I am keen to highlight this because the Vitality Ride Series forms a part of Vitality’s ongoing commitment with UNICEF to donate over 1 million vaccines worldwide through 2022. The partnership is built on Vitality’s shared-value model where personal health brings about better outcomes for society and Vitality’s insurance partners as a whole – a model which can have more impact than a traditional donation-based model. This model aligns closely with Zwift’s own mission to make more people, more active, more often.

    Multiple dates and times, see all upcoming >

    Team Novo Nordisk Group Ride

    In December 2012 Phil Southerland and Novo Nordisk came together to create Team Novo Nordisk based on a shared vision to inspire, educate and empower people around the world affected by diabetes. This is a one-hour ride led by top Team Novo Nordisk pro athletes.

    Team Novo Nordisk is a global all-diabetes sports team of cyclists. For more information visit teamnovonordisk.com.

    TeamPTz – Joaquim Agostinho Ride

    This is a ride to honor Joaquim Agostinho, a top Portuguese cyclist who died in 1984 at the age of 41. He won stages in several Grand Tours, include 4 Stages in the Tour de France and 3 stages in the Vuelta a España.  Whenever you climb Alpe d’Huez, at turn 14 you can see the J.A. statue in honor of his victory.
