    Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of April 2-3

    A nice assortment of rides to tackle this weekend, as well as a race to try.


    DURA-ACE Challenge

    This weekend event is the opportunity for Shimano to showcase their new groupset, DURA-ACE R9200.  This was released in October 2021 and is their premium groupset offering.

    There are two routes to choose from, “Three Sisters” route  and a favourite of mine, “Climber’s Gambit”. Everyone will be riding the Pinarello Dogma F with DURA-ACE for the events.

    Complete either route and you’ll unlock the Shimano S-Phyre jersey. One lucky finisher will unlock the Pinarello Dogma F with DURA-ACE in their Zwift garage for keeps.

    Saturday and Sunday, April 2-3, Multiple timeslots

    Zwift Racing with Category Enforcement

    If you want fair racing, then give one of this weekend’s many “Category Enforcement” races a go! The new Category Enforcement means you will be assigned the pen to start in, based on your previous results, so you will be racing people of similar ability, making the event competitive and fun.

    Ride With Egan Bernal // INEOS Grenadiers Cycling Team

    It gives me great pleasure to be highlighting this event.  It feels like only yesterday when news filtered through about the horrific training accident that Egan was involved in earlier this year.  I remember it clearly because at the time, INEOS were hosting their training camp on Zwift and Egan had led a live event just before his accident.  Therefore, it’s fantastic news to have him back, starting on the road to recovery!

    As Egan takes small steps, it would be nice to join and support him on his journey.  As such, this event is designed to do just that and is paced at a gentle 1.0-2.4 w/kg and is hosted on the “Flat Route Reverse” route in Watopia. It lasts for 60 minutes.       

    Saturday, April 2 @ 3am GMT/11am EDT/8am PDT

    Ride to End ALZ Spring Challenge

    It’s always a pleasure to write about events that have a good cause underpinning them, and I am therefore keen to highlight the Ride to End ALZ® Spring Challenge — the Alzheimer’s Association cycling event that fights dementia.

    This is a global event (taking place outdoors too) and it is encouraged that you register and if you feel inclined, donate.

    For more information on the Ride to End ALZ, please visit:

      Category Enforcement races do not assign you to a pen, nor are they based on previous results. See more here: https://zwiftinsider.com/category-enforcement-test-races/

      Hello Ben, so when I go to enter the race, I can only enter Cat A. I don’t have the option to enter any other Cat. Perhaps I should have worded it that you can only race in your Cat, above your Cat, but not below.

      Yes, exactly! I am not nearly as strong as you, so I still have choices… ; ) But if you do have choices, then you must select from only your Cat or above, just as you say. The interesting thing is that it is not directly tied to ZwiftPower categories, but rather to the power info that Zwift has on you. I moved up to a smart trainer and ZwiftPower marked the events I completed on a dumb trainer as “old”, so it would not factor them into my minimum Cat. This put me back in Cs, where I belong.… Read more »
