Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of March 12-13

March 11, 2022

LAST UPDATED March 11, 2022

The weekend’s theme is centered around the word “icon.” We have “iconic” courses in the Tour of Watopia to tackle, then we have an excellent time trial event hosted by cycling “icon” Fabian Cancellara. There is also the Mount Fuji Hill Climb club event, designed to get you fit to tackle an ascent up the “iconic” Mount Fuji in Japan. And there is a fantastic group ride led hosted by the “iconic” Castelli brand.

Simple put, this is a really exciting weekend on Zwift.

ToW Stage 1: Iconic Routes

This year, the Tour of Watopia is giving you the opportunity to ride some new routes. First up is a former Rebel Route called Three Little Sisters which was designed by Zwifter Gene Kruger, taking you over three moderate climbs: the Hilly KOM, Titans Grove, and Volcano KOM.

Alternative options include Watopia’s Figure 8 course and Two Bridges Loop. Join thousands of Zwifters for this double XP, double powerup party!

Chasing Cancellara Stage 2 // Beat Fabian’s 51m 56s

This year’s stage 2 “Chasing Cancellara” event sees you racing the “Temples and Towers” Route on Makuri Islands.

For those of you that don’t know who Fabian is, he has won numerous “monuments” (the name given to cycling’s most prestigious one-day races) including 3x Paris-Roubaix and 2x Olympic time trialing gold medals.

About the event, Fabian noted that he set the time on the course, so it would be interesting to see how close you can come to it. Having not raced much on the route, I can’t comment on how competitive Fabian’s time actually is – but Zwift Insider’s Eric Schlange reckons it’s a time attainable by strong B/low A racers. Regardless, it certainly will be a fun event.
