    Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of October 8-9

    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.

    ⌛ Workout #6 Push the Pain Barrier

    The last structured training session of Zwift Academy Road 2022 sees you pushing your boundaries by working above your FTP.  It’s a challenging effort with two time durations on offer, the longer being 48 minutes and the shorter at 34 minutes.

    🥇 STAGE 1: RACE LIKE A CHAMP – Yorkshire

    Zwift are making positive moves to bring racing to the community.  This is a short 14km race on the “2019 UCI Worlds Harrogate circuit” and is the first in a series of five during the month of October. Complete all events and get the “Race Like a Champ” badge.

    🤝 Z Badge Hunt

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

    This ride sees you tackle the “Out and Back Again” course in Watopia, at 42.3km in length.  It’s a varied course that sees you ascend the Volcano.
