This weekend’s picks include a popular event from bike brand Winspace, a unique community vs community race, a World Parkinson’s Day ride, and Big Spin-focused events with fun prizes! See all the details below…
🤝 First Winspace x Zwift Global Ride Event
✅ Popular ✅ Prizes ✅ MX Rider
This is the first Zwift event I’ve seen from Winspace, and it’s always fun to see a new bike brand embracing the platform. This event has lots of signups, so they’re doing something right! It’s a simple ride – just 30 open-paced minutes on Tempus Fugit. Finish the ride to unlock the Winspace jersey (shown above) and win raffle prizes!
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.

🥇 Guild Wars: Fellowship vs. Road to Bonk
✅ Popular ✅ Unique Race ✅ YouTubers
YouTubers Adam (Road to A), Liam (LiamShawLevelsUp), and Steven (Bike Bonk Biff) are hosting a community vs. community Zwift Racing event. This is a novel event on several levels, and it already has lots of signups!
Riders choose which team they’re on by changing their in-game name. Then it’s all about earning points for your team based on your finishing position, power numbers, and heart rate. Be sure to read the event description for all the details!
The race is on one lap of Watopia’s Hot Laps route (23.5km, 149m).

🤝LA GRUPETTA DE ZABI
✅ Banded Ride ✅ Big Spin Route
Once again, we’re featuring a popular ride from the newish ZABI squad. It’s a 120-minute banded ride on Watopia’s Flat Out Fast route (21.4km, 46m).
As a bonus, this route Big Spin’s stage 1, so if you’re still trying to unlock that cowboy hat, this may be just the ticket! You’ll get several chances (spins) to win…

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!
