    Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of August 6-7

    Tim Perkin

    This weekend sees some innovative races and rides to take part in along with one main event hosted by Off the MAAP.


    Off the MAAP – Stage 2

    Off the MAAP is back with four stages of racing that unlocks some kit. This weekend it’s Stage 2, which is hosted on Makuri Islands. There are multiple different routes to try to fit what you want to do in terms of distance.

    Although this is advertised as a “Group Ride” the Stage 1 event that I took part in quickly turned into a race and my “easy ride” morphed into a frantic battle to stay with the group, which I wasn’t prepared for! But as always it was fun, nonetheless. Ride at whatever pace you’d like, but know you can push it on the front if that’s your desire.

    Zwift Insider Tiny Races

    First announced here, Zwift Insider is hosting four short events, in quick succession. As is noted, the point of these events is to “earn ZwiftPower ranking points, get a solid VO2 workout, and just have fun going all-out in a different sort of Zwift race!”

    This is the second week of the series, and various tweaks have been made to improve the model.

    I’m all in favour of new and innovative events like this as it keeps training interesting and fresh. Furthermore, sometimes it’s not possible to fit in a long race, but you can still get your racing “fix” with these short ones.
