🤝DBR x Canyon x Cykelnerven
✅ Ultra Endurance ✅ Good Cause
This ride’s just a little bit crazy, yet it’s already got hundreds of crazies signed up!
It’s a 12-hour ride on London’s Classique circuit in support of Cykelnerven, raising awareness and funds for a world free of multiple sclerosis. Join for just the first hour or two if you’d like, or see if you can hang on for the full 12 hours.

The stages are inspired by the main competitions of the Portuguese Cycling Federation and will take place on the corresponding real-world dates.

🤝WOW – High Speed Ride on TT bikes with draft
✅ Fast Miles ✅ Upgrade Hack ✅ Unique Event
Want to accumulate lots of miles quickly? Join this newish and popular group ride, which puts everyone on the fastest TT bike in game (Cadex Tri) with drafting enabled. It’s 100km, but it’ll be a fast 100km!
Riders are on Tempus Fugit, the flattest route in Zwift. Three different pace groups, released so the faster groups catch the slower groups over time.
Bike upgrading hack: on rides with forced bikes, whatever bike you’re on when you join the event is the bike that accumulates the distance/elevation/time. So, for example, you could accumulate lots of distance toward a road bike upgrade, while riding the Cadex Tri in this event.

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!
