    As the iconic Tour de France makes its way through the mountains, riders have a chance to race their own tour with the Chasing Yellow series. Additionally, we’ve selected a social ride with an ex-pro, the first race of a new series, and two social rides!


    🥇 Chasing Tour | Chasing Yellow – Stages 5 & 6

    ✅ Popular Event  ✅ Innovative Format  ✅ Highly Competitive  ✅ Prizes

    This week, stages 5 and 6 of the Chasing Yellow series will be taking place. This is a race series that occurs alongside the Tour de France, with a total of 18 stages. It is easily the most popular and competitive race this weekend! Before signing up, it is important to read the description for categorization information.

    Stage 5 will be taking place on the Astoria Line 8 course in New York while stage 6 will be taking place on the La Reine course in France.

    Multiple time slots Saturday through Sunday

    🤝 Ed Clancy’s Mountain Massif All-Star Ride

    ✅ Popular Event  ✅ Celebrity

    Join notable pro Ed Clancy, who has won gold with Team GB at three successive Olympics, for this social group ride. This is your chance to ask him all your questions as you ride alongside!

    The group ride takes place on the Sand and Sequoias course in Watopia, so it will be lasting roughly 45 minutes.

    Sunday, July 9 @ 9 am UTC/5 am EDT

    🥇 Tour de Galaxy – Race Series

    ✅ Popular Event  ✅ Highly Competitive

    Galaxy Cycling Club’s next racing series begins this weekend, taking place over 4 stages. For each stage, three different time zones will be available to accommodate for riders’ schedules. Note: there is bonus time up for grabs on the intermediate segments.

    The series begins with an individual time trial on the Tempus Fugit course in Watopia. An aero TT bike and wheelset will be best for this course – see your fastest TT setup based on Zwift level here.

    Saturday, July 8 @ multiple timeslots

    🤝 ZZRC Bring a Bidon Social Ride

    ✅ Popular Event

    ZZRC is hosting their weekly endurance group ride on Sunday. These group rides tend to last 1.5-3 hours depending on the course (this week’s route will be closer to the 1:30 end of the spectrum). The pace will be 2.5-2.7 W/kg, with the pace varying based on the terrain. 

    Since this is an endurance ride, it will be taking place over one lap of the Big Foot Hills course in Watopia. 

    Sunday, July 9 @ 8:35 am UTC/4:35 am EDT
    Sign up at zwift.com/events/view/3757099


    🤝 Vikings Valhalla Sunday Skaal

    ✅ Popular Event  ✅ Beginner Friendly

    Week after week, this event tends to be popular! The Sunday Skaal event by Vikings Valhalla features a split category setup to accommodate for a wide variety of paces. Leaders encourage stronger riders to drop back for those who fall off the back.

    Category C will be riding just over 100 kilometers of the R.G.V. course in France. Category D will be riding two laps of the Eastern Eight course in Watopia.

    Sunday, July 9 @ 7:05 am UTC

    How We Make Our Picks

    We choose each weekend’s Notable Events based on a variety of factors including:

    • Is the event unique/innovative in some way?
    • Are celebrities (pro riders, etc) attending/leading?
    • Are signup counts already high, meaning the event is extra-popular?
    • Does the ride include desirable unlocks or prizes?
    • Does the event appeal to ladies on Zwift? (We like to support this under-represented group!)
    • Is it for a good cause?
    • Is it just plain crazy (extra long races, world record attempts, etc)?
    • Is it a long-running, popular weekly event with a dedicated leader who deserves a shout out?

    In the end, we want to call attention to events that are extra-special and therefore extra-appealing to Zwifters. If you think your event qualifies, comment below with a link/details and we may just include it in an upcoming post!
