I’m not sure if this is new trend, but I have noticed that once again, there is another major event scheduled for Friday on Zwift (and I am not just talking about my Mountain Massif TT – Powered by Muc-Off)!
Not, it’s the L39ION of LA Crit Series. And of course, there are plenty of other big rides happening Saturday and Sunday as well. Here are our top picks for this weekend!
Z Badge Hunt – PRL Full – hosted by Zwift Insider
Got an hour or six free on Saturday to join us on London’s PRL Full as we go on a quest for one of Zwift’s most challenging route badges?
As the event description notes “Double draft is on for this event so you’ll be doubly rewarded for working together in a tight pack to get everyone across the line.”
Read all about the event here >
Should be a fun ride and gives you a break from putting up the Christmas decorations.
Saturday, December 11 @ 3pm GMT/10am EST/7am PST

L39ION of LA Crit Series
This new event will take place over 6 laps (approximately 24 km/15 miles) of the brand-new Neokyo Crit Course, a circuit included in Zwift’s recent Neokyo release. It’s going to be intense, with over 700 people already signed up for one event. You’d better have your sprinting legs warmed up!
The 4-race series includes separate races for men and women and a points-based series GC on ZwiftPower. Get more details in this Zwift Insider post >

Le Col Big Day In
Le Col are cycling up to Chalet Reynard, on the mighty Ven-Top. This is the first ride in their new Le Col Big Day In series. If you fancy doing something a bit challenging, this certainly is the event for you.
Retired pro Chris Opie will be leading the group. Expect a fun and inclusive ride with Chris at the helm. This new event series from Le Col will see a big ride hosted each month, some longer, some hillier, but the ethos is the same, “to push yourself a little bit further.”

Geraint Thomas and Luke Rowe INEOS Grenadiers Training Camp Social Ride
Here’s another chance to rub virtual elbows with some of the biggest names in the pro peloton!
The INEOS Grenadiers are at a training camp in Mallorca, and hosting some Zwift rides at the same time. This particular event is getting to be quite popular, thanks in no small part to the the Geraint and Luke being the ride leaders!
The event is 60 minutes long, held on Watopia’s very flat Tempus Fugit route. (Pace is stated as 1-5 w/kg, so some riders will race off the front. Hopefully G and Luke will keep it social!)

Neokyo Badge Hunt – Stage 4
The Neokyo Badge Hunt series has resulted in some big group rides! I’m liking this event series because there is always a group to ride with at whatever pace you fancy, you unlock very distinctive kit as you ride, and of course you’ll collect a route badge the first time you complete each route.
Stage 4 Details:
- Route: Temples and Towers
- Distance: 20.2 mi // 32.5 km
- Elevation Gain: 2,261.2 ft // 689.2 m
