This weekend we feature three popular races/group rides, plus two chill group rides.
Off the MAAP – Stages 3 and 4
Off the MAAP is a fun 4-stage event with some lovely kit unlocks. This weekend begins with Stage 3, but ends with Stage 4!
Stage 3 is one for the climbers, with three very good courses on offer. For those wishing for a longer ride, the A “Achterbahn” route is on offer, totaling 47.7km. The standard course (B) is a favourite of mine, “Climber’s Gambit,” totaling 28km, including a mountain top finish. The shorter route (C) is the “Volcano Climb,” at 23.3km.
Stage 4 is flatter, 8-lap events on short courses including Champs-Élysées (A), Neokyo Crit Course (B), and The Bell Lap (C).

ZZRC Ride With Friends 1.3-1.5
Not everything on Zwift has to involve a maximum effort and fortunately there are many rides which offer something different to that! Here is one which I am a big advocative of. As the description states: “Whether you are recovering from injury, prefer a recovery ride or just fancy a pootle around Zwift, this is the ride for you. This is an all-inclusive supportive group ride.”

Zwift Insider Tiny Races + Chat & Chill
First announced here, Zwift Insider is hosting a weekly set of four short race 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 third week of the series, and we’ve got a fresh set of routes plus an added optional “chat and chill” cooldown ride after it’s all over. See this post for details.
