    Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of August 27-28

    This weekend is one full of variety, with many different events to cater to your fancy.


    DIRT Badge Hunts

    Not every Zwift event needs to be tackled at breakneck speed, so if you fancy a nicely paced 35.1km ride on the “Chasing the Sun” route, this is the ride for you.  It will be paced between 1.5-2 w/kg and is probably the ideal ride if you have had a busy week or are recovering from a hard ride.

    Saturday August 27 @ 10am UTC/6am EDT/3am PDT

    The BMTR Fundo

    A repeat feature on this list, the BMTR Fundo is aimed at those looking to undertake a longer ride, with options of 100 miles or 100km available, hosted on the “Douce France”  route.  This is a personal challenge, with the goal to complete the distance.

    Chasing Red – Stage 6

    Following the very successful “Chasing Yellow” event that saw participants ride at the same time as the Tour de France, often mirroring the stages, the event returns to mirror stages from the Vuelta a España. 

    This 36.7km race sees riders tackling the challenging “Keith Hill After Party” route in London.  Having ridden this route recently, I was surprised at how I had forgotten how testing “Keith Hill” is! If you want to test yourself, this is one for you.

    Zwift Classics – Trofeo Bologna

    This is the last event in the “Zwift Classics” for 2022, and it has turned out to be a very popular series over the last 2 months.  It’s a TT race on the Bologna Time Trial course: only 8km, but it’s one of the toughest routes out there when raced, as the climb feels never-ending.  If you don’t collapse on your handlebars at the end, you haven’t raced hard enough! 😉

    Zwift Insider Tiny Races

    Zwift Insider’s Tiny Race series has been a big hit, with hundreds of racers turning out to each event, making for a highly-competitive set of four short back-to-back race events. It’s happening again this Saturday on four fresh routes!

    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!”

    See this post for details of this week’s routes.
