You guessed it… given the launch of the new routes in Makuri Islands, this weekend’s picks are focused on Makuri Islands, and especially the Urukazi routes.
🤝 Stage 3 | Tour of Makuri Islands
It seems fitting to kick off my weekend highlights with the Tour of Makuri Islands which will be tackling the new Urukazi routes on Stage 5 and 6. Stage 3 events this weekend offers favourites to try, the longer being Temples and Towers at 33.4km and the shorter being Wandering Flats at 25.2km. Both beautifully scenic routes!

🥇 HERD Beginner Racing
With many new riders on Zwift, I wanted to highlight a ride designed for those who are new to racing. This 13.1km category-enforced D race on the “Two Village Loop” is intended as an introduction. If you have never raced before, this is the perfect environment to try and you may discover a hidden passion! At the very least, give it a go to see if you enjoy it. Remember, if you don’t like it, you can simply leave the event and return to what you were doing before, nothing lost.

🤝Team Italy Sunday Climb
I have just finished interviewing the Team Manager of the Castelli-Elite E-sports Team, where I learned it developed from Team Italy, one of the larger Zwift community groups. As a consequence, I thought it appropriate to highlight their event: a 40.3km ride hosted on the new Makuri 40 route, paced at 2 w/kg or lower. This is the longest route on Makuri Islands!
Bonus: finish the Makuri 40 and you’ll get credit for finishing stage 5 of Tour of Makuri Islands!
