This weekend’s picks highlight (among other things) Watopia’s Southern Coast Cruise route, which is hosting a Big Spin prize spinner. We’re also featuring Zwift Games because it wraps up this weekend, along with other popular community events.
🤝 Riding With The Oldies Saturday Special
✅ Popular ✅ Prizes ✅ MX Rider
I’ve never featured this event before, but it’s got lots of signups and a rather unique proposition. This is a banded ride targeting riders who are 60+ years old, while (of course) welcoming anyone under 60.
This week’s ride is on Watopia’s Southern Coast Cruise, which is also a Big Spin route, so you’ll get a prize spin at the end of each lap.

🥇Zwift Games Make-Up Events
✅ Popular ✅ Route Badge ✅ Steering ✅ XP Bonus
The 2026 Zwift Games wrap up for good this weekend, with make-up events available in case you missed any stages. Lots of riders have been enjoying the two race options for stage 6, though, and racing them multiple times!
Choose between a time trial on Scotland’s new The Epiloch (11.1km, 93m), and a Crit Cade steering-required race on 5 laps of Crit City’s The Bell Lap (15.8km, 128m).

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!
