Zwift has been tweaking and testing Pace Partners for the past few months, and this Monday they officially graduate out of the FutureWorks program.
The graduation includes some special events, plus a completely fresh set of Pace Partners. Let’s dive into the details!
Graduation Events
Zwift is hosting two different types of events to celebrate the Pace Partners’ graduation.
- Trivia Rides (ending today): 45-minute events on Wandering Flats in which the Pace Partners ask cycling trivia questions, then answer them after a bit of a wait
- Graduation Ceremony Rides (Saturday and Sunday): these 45-minute events on Tick Tock will include several Pace Partners, each riding at their own pace. Find a group going your speed and enjoy the ride!
