Given the official launch of the Zwift Hub trainer this week, I thought it appropriate to highlight specific events in the calendar that are Zwift branded. There is a long ride on offer, structured training, a race and to complete the set, a “badge hunt” ride.
🤝 Zwift PretzelFest Ride – Stage 2
The Zwift PretzelFest Ride – Stage 1 was an absolute delight. I found myself riding with an excellent group that saw us battle it out on the first KOM before all agreeing that it would be more civilised to tackle the second big ascent in a group.

This camaraderie meant I was left with that “feel good” factor after the ride ended so am anticipating another fun event on Saturday, with Stage 2. I’m also hoping that some of the riders I found myself with will be riding too! This time the route is “The London Pretzel,” which is 56.2km in length and sees you tackling the famous “Box Hill.”
There is also a shorter route on the same course, which is measured at 29.5km, for those who don’t have the time or inclination to do the full route.

🤝 Z Badge Hunt
To complete the set of events on offer, this weekend Zwift is hosting a good old-fashioned “badge hunt.”

I am trying to tick off all routes on Zwift and suggested the tick off update sometime ago, so thank you.
Could you ask for a new route to be created which involves climbing the volcano 3 or 4 times as a single event..
