🤝 L’Etape du Tour Main Stage: March
✅ Popular Event ✅ Kit Unlock ✅ Sportive
The L’Etape du Tour de France series launched last month and hundreds of riders turned up. This month the events have been tweaked – they are now officially group rides instead of races, but the ride shows your placing and finishing rank, giving them a “sportive” feel. Rest assured, riders will be racing these events, especially those near the front!
This weekend is the second “Main Stage” L’Etape event, and competitors will take on a lap of The London Pretzel (56.2km, 576m of climbing).

🤝 Stage 3 | The Zwift Big Spin 2024
✅ Beginner Friendly ✅ Unique Unlocks
The Zwift Big Spin series underway, and all of us gambling-addicted Zwifters are already signed up for this weekend’s group rides. Clearly we love to spin together and unlock new prizes, including the Atomic Cruiser and Tri Spoke wheel!

This weekend we’re still in NYC for Stage 3, then on Monday we move to France for Stage 4. Insider tip: Stage 4’s shorter routes cover 2 laps in each event, meaning you get 2 prize spins!

🤝 BMTR Flat 100 (Miles)
✅ Popular Event ✅ Legacy Leaders ✅ Kit Unlock ✅ Endurance Challenge
One of our most commonly-featured events, for good reason. The BMTR Flat 100 consistently gets big turnouts because it offers four different pace groups on flatter, distance-friendly routes. Be sure to read the event description for details!
Saturday, March 30 @ 12:10pm UTC/8:10am EST/5:10am PST

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!
