Notable Zwift Events for the Weekend of February 11-12

This week’s notable events include special guest rides, endurance rides, and some fun race series. Two additional events worth noting:

1. The Zwift Insider Worlds Experiences races begin this weekend
2. Makeup stages for Tour De Zwift 2023 wrap up this weekend

🤝 Breakfast with The Unicorn p/b AHDR

This endurance group ride is an extremely popular event amongst Zwifters. Throughout the ride there is lots of chatter, making it extremely engaging and fun for riders. Speaking from personal experience, I only expected to do ~30 minutes of the ride, but I ended up completing the ride because of how enthusiastic and engaging the ride leaders were. This ride is much quicker-paced than most endurance rides, with two groups available. Category C is paced at 2.5-3.2 w/kg and category B is paced at 3.2-4.0 w/kg. Leaders and sweepers will be present in the ride.

Riders should expect a very quick pace, with category C likely finishing in less than 2:30, and category B finishing in less than 2:15. The ride takes riders through the R.G.V. course in France.

🤝 MGCC Bagel

The MGCC Bagel ride is a group ride that takes place every Saturday on the roads of Zwift. The ride features a longer route, a quicker-paced group ride, and a sprint in the final 700 meters. There are two different categories available; category C at 2.3-3 w/kg, and category B at 2.5-4 w/kg. The pace will vary based on the terrain, but the general range will be the advertised pace.

MGCC encourages riders to join their Discord to engage with other riders. Both categories will be riding on the same course, 1 lap of Big Foot Hills in Watopia.

🤝 Ride with Team Jumbo-Visma: City and the Sgurr

As part of the Ride Scotland series that Zwift is putting on in the new Scotland world, special guests from Team Jumbo-Visma will be leading a ride. This week’s ride will be with Maud Oudeman, winner of the 2021 Zwift Academy Road who now races for Jumbo-Visma!

Riders will be riding on the City and Sgurr course in Scotland for 30 minutes. The ride is openly paced, meaning the leaders are not obligated to remain at a certain pace, so don’t get mad when Maud starts hammering up the climb…

🥇OTR Snap Crackle Pop PunchFest2

If you enjoy the format of the Zwift Insider Tiny Races, you are sure to enjoy these. Instead of the four back-to-back races that the Tiny Races feature, this series has seven back-to-back races! However, the thing that makes these events stand out from others is the neutral start. With these races, there is always a leader who will have the fence enabled, giving the organizers the ability to have a neutral start. The series is also scored on points, which can be obtained on the climb of each race.

This is a one-pen-styled race, meaning all riders join category E. The scoring and course also vary from race to race, so the best way to gather all the details of this race is through the event description.

Special settings: points race

🤝 Bike MS Winter Training Ride – Super Bowl Volcano Laps

The team at Bike MS is hosting a group ride to help the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. In 2022, Bike MS raised over $50 million for the National MS Society, helping work toward a cure for MS while also helping people affected by MS to live their best life. 

Riders will be riding on the Volcano Circuit course in Watopia. The ride is 60 minutes long and is openly paced, so riders are free to go at whatever pace pleases them.
