GC Leaderboards

Zwift debuted new web-based leaderboards at zwift.com for tracking the Zwift Games 2025 GC, and an upgraded version of those leaderboards is now being put to work for the monthly ZRacing series.

Access August’s leaderboard at zwift.com/racing/leagues/zracingaug2025 >

Your GC ranking is based on your best finishing time for each stage, and you can race each stage more than once to try for a better time.

Choose Your Category

Zwift schedules three different flavors of ZRacing events in order to encourage “Fairer, more competitive racing for everyone.” They each use different racing score ranges for categorization and are titled Advanced, Range 1, and Range 2. Click banners below to see upcoming events for each:

Get the Badge

Each month’s ZRacing series has a unique achievement badge, which you can unlock by finishing every stage for the month. There are no makeup events, so if you miss a stage, you miss out on the badge and competing in the GC.

One and Done

Zwift has planned these events to deliver a solid 1-hour workout, so each race should only take around 1 hour to complete, including your warmup and cooldown.

Racers: Iceni Women’s Series Begins August 19, 2025

Racers: Iceni Women’s Series Begins August 19, 2025

The popular Iceni Women’s Series is back for another 4 weeks of races, and this time around they’re collaborating with Rocacorba Collective! Here are the details…

About the Name

The Iceni tribe was ‘peacefully annexed’ by the Roman Empire at some point before 47 AD, though it was allowed some autonomy. When the king died and Boudicca I became High Queen of Iceni, the Roman Empire saw her unfit to rule and invaded the region. Iceni led a revolt against the Roman Empire and regained its independence, along with the independence of several other tribes. This led to the subsequent formation of the Comhairle, an alliance of the British tribes. Iceni had a major say in Comhairle affairs and became an important center of trade, military, and leadership.

Zwift Update Version 1.94 (150097) Released

Zwift Update Version 1.94 (150097) Released

Zwift version 1.94 begins its phased rollout today. This is a minor update with two additional HUD metrics, new hardware support, and several bug fixes. Read on for details…

2 New HUD Metrics

This update adds 2 more metrics to the in-game HUD:

  • Average W/kg
  • Average Speed

These two metrics will be especially helpful to ride leaders targeting particular effort levels or speed in their rides.

Sennheiser Momentum Sport Support

On the heels of CORE sensor support released two weeks ago, this week’s update includes support for another device which transmits body temperature.

Zwift says, “You can now use Sennheiser Momentum Sport earbuds as a heart rate monitor AND body temperature sensor in Zwift, both of which can be made visible on the HUD. In the Pairing screen, open the Heart Rate card and select your Sennheiser Momentum Sport earbuds. You can configure the metrics shown in your HUD in Zwift Settings under the HUD tab.”

Outdoor Ride XP Bonus Bug Fix

Zwift started importing outdoor rides from Garmin and Wahoo back in April, but there was an odd bug: if your first ride of the week was an outdoor ride that was imported into Zwift, you wouldn’t get your streak extension XP bonus, even if you rode on Zwift later in the week!

Although not included in the release notes, Zwift tells us that this week’s update includes code to address the bug. One caveat: they will wait to trigger the fix until version 1.94 has fully rolled out (on Thursday or Friday) to ensure XP bonuses are granted properly.

Release Notes

Zwift provided notes on additional tweaks and bug fixes in this update:

  • All workouts in the ‘3Run 13.1’ training plan are now available at the start of the week on Monday and can be completed in any order.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the Running workout ‘Hill + Tempo #2’ to be saved with an incorrect title.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause the CORE Temperature label to overlap with the temperature reading in the new Ride Stats panel.
  • Mac, PC: This update includes Zwift Launcher version 1.1.14 as the minimum-required launcher version.

Zwift Announces Free Trial Changes: No More Free Monthly 25km

Zwift Announces Free Trial Changes: No More Free Monthly 25km

Zwift Announces Free Trial Changes: No More Free Monthly 25km

Today, Zwift announced an upcoming change to their free trial setup:

We’re writing to let you know about a forthcoming change to simplify our free trial offerings.

Effective from August 1st, the current 25km free trial offered to paused, or lapsed, Zwift members will be discontinued. We want to thank all our members who took advantage of this offering in the past.

Please note that we will continue to offer a 14-day free trial for new members to discover the benefits of our platform.

For years, Zwift has effectively had two different “free trial” offerings running in parallel:

  • New accounts aren’t charged until the end of their 14-day free trial, which begins the day they start pedaling on Zwift
  • Paying subscribers who pause or cancel their membership could ride up to 25km each month for free. This offer renewed on the 1st of each month, and also applied to people who signed up, took part in the 14-day free trial, but never became paying subscribers.

It’s the second offering that is being done away with on August 1st.

Note: These changes don’t affect Zwift running, which is still free to use unless you have a Wahoo KICKR RUN and want to pay for automatic incline control.

Ready the Pitchforks

Zwift will surely receive some blowback on their decision from “seasonal Zwifters” who enjoy riding outside in good weather while still popping into Zwift once or twice each month. (And after last year’s price increase, there are certainly more of those Zwifters on the platform than ever before.)

While some riders abused the free monthly 25km, I can’t help but think it also kept seasonal Zwifters engaged with the platform. Will the cost savings of removing those “freeloaders” from the ecosystem outweigh the value of keeping past subscribers engaged during sunny weather? And how many of those riders will now restart their subscription earlier than planned, so they can maintain access to Zwift?

Those are significant questions, with actual dollar figures attached. But only Zwift will know the answers…

Pack Dynamics 5 Is Now Live in Zwift Races

Pack Dynamics 5 Is Now Live in Zwift Races

Pack Dynamics 5 Is Now Live in Zwift Races

Pack Dynamics are perhaps the most challenging thing to “get right” when it comes to indoor cycling simulations like Zwift. Accurately replicating the speed and movement of a lone rider isn’t easy, of course. But accurately representing a pack of such riders is another challenge entirely! (It took a Cray supercomputer to analyze the fluid dynamics of a peloton, after all…)

Zwift has iterated through various pack dynamics “versions” over the years, with the most recent major release being pack dynamics 4.1 around two years ago.

However, pack dynamics on Zwift are never released as singular major updates. It’s better to think of them as something that is being regularly tested and tweaked, with specific goals in mind. And they’ve had various iterations of the latest pack dynamics (version 5) enabled in certain Zwift activities for almost a year.

Pack Dynamics 5 (PD5) was created to improve two key avatar behaviors:

  • Collisions: Zwift wants fewer collisions between riders’ avatars for a more realistic-looking ride experience
  • Draft Seeking: Zwift wants your avatar to find the draft more quickly, but to do so in a realistic-looking way that honors your steering choices

PD5 went live for free rides in Watopia in late 2024, and I shared a post in January 2025 with an update on its current state and lots of details about what was changing. Since then, the team at Zwift has been iterating and testing PD5, steadily broadening its use in the live game as wrinkles were ironed out.

Then last Thursday, Zwift’s James Bailey posted the following message to the Zwift Riders Facebook Group and the Zwift Forum:

Hi everyone,

Over a number of months, we have been testing, privately and publicly and making iterations to our 5th version of Pack Dynamics. This is presently live on all free ride, group ride and RoboPacer activities.

Pack Dynamics V5 (PD5) has two goals. Firstly to improve collision avoidance – so you do not ride through other riders. Secondly it improves how quickly you are able to find the draft after having been overtaken – great news if you ride in TTTs!

Most recently, a number of our event organisers have been helping us test this new feature in races and we’ve also run a week of the Zwift Crit Racing events using PD5. We have received no negative feedback as a result.

We will be turning on PD5 for races (and thus all Zwift activities) tomorrow (July 24) around 1300 UTC. This will give racers a chance to use it in the Thursday Team Time Trials, as well as having a full month of ZRacing to get used to the new dynamics before our peak racing season begins with the launch of Zwift Racing League in September.

As always, if you ever have any feedback after having tried using PD5 in races, we’d be delighted to hear it.

Many thanks,
James

In summary: Pack Dynamics v5 is now live across the entire game.

If you’re curious, here are some of the changes Zwift made to earlier versions of PD5 before last week’s release:

  • Made the collision more “soft” between players because it was creating unwanted left/right movements in big packs
  • Removed the possibility of “bullying” another player using manual steering (i.e., a player should not be able to push another player laterally)
  • Fixed an issue where players in big packs would get stuck at the center line of the road and create an unnatural line of overlapping players

Zwift says they “have not changed how drafting and air resistance is calculated, so no difference is expected when catching up to another player or pack of players.” I may still run some updated TTT tests just to make sure, though!

Discussing PD5

There’s a long Zwift forum thread, begun in January, with hundreds of replies from Zwifters providing feedback on PD5 as it evolved. (This thread is now closed, but you can read it for historical context if you’d like.)

If you’d like to share your thoughts on PD5 in Zwift’s forum, you should do so on this new thread from James.

FemmeCycle Collab Summer Ramp Up Series Announced

FemmeCycle Collab Summer Ramp Up Series Announced

FemmeCycle Collab has been on a mission to convert riders to racers since 2023.  We believe that with the right guidance, community, and opportunities, anyone can discover their inner superpower!

Our new Summer Ramp Up Series is a 3-week women-only race series featuring a different race format each week. Results are based on individual performance only (this is not a team competition), categories are beginner-friendly, and there are four time zones to choose from.

But the Summer Ramp-Up Series isn’t just about racing. It’s a journey designed to boost your confidence and sharpen your tactical skills in different race styles. Every week throws a new challenge your way to ensure you get a well-rounded development experience.

Zwift Ride Giveaway

All participants who successfully complete every race in the series will be entered into an exclusive raffle for a spectacular grand prize! To qualify, you must complete all three mini races in Week 1, and then one race in Week 2 (Individual Time Trial) and one race in Week 3 (Points Race). 

The ultimate reward for your dedication? The chance to win a Zwift Ride with KICKR Core! (We’ve got the Ride covered; all we ask is that you cover the shipping!)

Route and Schedule Details

Race times each week will be:

  • 9am UTC/5am IT/2am PT
  • 4pm UTC/12pm ET/9am PT
  • 11pm UTC/7pm ET/4pm PT
  • 2am UTC/10pm ET/7pm PT

Each time slot is its own league on ZwiftPower, so you’ll want to race a consistent time slot to compete for maximum points overall.

Week 1 – July 29: Mini Races – Sharpen Your Instincts

We kick off the series with three shorter, intense events, perfect for developing your sprint power and strategic positioning within a pack. You’ll be racing three distinct mini races, each with a unique challenge for racers:

Each race will award finish points only – 100 points for first, 99 for second, 98 for third… down to the last finisher.  Points for each race will be added together, and the racer with the most points (out of 300) after the third race will win the week. 

Tip: Don’t forget to sign up for all 3 events.  When you cross the finish line, exit the race and head to the pen for the next race!

Week 2 – August 5: Individual Time Trial – The Ultimate Test of Power

The second week shifts focus to the individual time trial (ITT). This discipline is a true test of your sustained power output, mental fortitude, and pacing strategy. In “the race of truth” it’s you against the clock, pushing your limits in a solitary effort.

Course – Loch Loop – 2 laps (16km)

You’ll want to load in your best TT bike this week! Draft is turned off, so even though you will see racers around you, you will not benefit from being in their draft. Top finisher will be awarded 100 points, second finisher will get 99 points, third finisher will get 98 points, right on down to the last finisher.

Week 3 – August 12: Points Race – Master the Art of Strategy

Conclude the series with the thrilling points race. This engaging format combines elements of endurance and tactical brilliance as riders accumulate points at designated segments throughout the race.

Course – Mayan San Remo – 1 lap (21.4km)

The race course includes includes two QOM segments and one sprint segment.  The segments will award points for Fastest Through the Segment (FTS) and First Across the Line (FAL), down to the 10th rider, and riders will receive finish points as well (100 points for the first rider, 99 for second, 98 for third…).  

The sum of all the points (FTS and FAL for the 2 QOMs and Sprint, plus finish points) determines your final score for the week.

How To: Retrieve a Lost or Partial Zwift .fit File for Uploading to Strava or Other Services

How To: Retrieve a Lost or Partial Zwift .fit File for Uploading to Strava or Other Services

How To: Retrieve a Lost or Partial Zwift .fit File for Uploading to Strava or Other Services

If your Zwifting is interrupted by a power outage, computer reboot, or Internet problems, you may “lose” your current ride without being able to save it properly.

It’s also possible that everything may seem to be working fine, but after your session, the saved ride never shows up on Strava, and signing into Zwift.com shows your ride as a “partial ride.” This indicates Internet connection issues at some point in your ride which prevented your device from sending data to Zwift’s servers.

Take heart – all is not lost! Zwift continuously saves your activity progress on your device and sends the data to their servers. Regardless of what happens with the server connection, you can always retrieve your local file (unless you’re using Apple TV) and upload it to Strava or any other service.

Note: you cannot upload the file from your computer to Zwift.com to get full “credit” for your ride within Zwift – meaning the ride in question will probably show as a “partial” on Zwift.com forever.

Retrieve Your Activity on Zwift for PC/Mac

Each of your rides is saved on your computer at %USER%\Documents\Zwift\Activities\ as an industry-standard .fit file. Just find the ride in question (files are named by ride date) and upload it to Strava or any other service.

Retrieve Your Activity on Zwift for iOS and Android

There’s a hidden feature on Zwift for iOS and Android that lets you easily access your list of ride files and attach them to an email. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Tap the ZWIFT logo 3x
Step 2: select your ride from the list and click “OK”
Step 3: send the email!

Retrieve Your Activity on Zwift for AppleTV

Unfortunately, there is no way to access the local .fit file on AppleTV if something goes wrong. If you find you’ve finished and saved your Zwift ride and it’s not showing up on Strava, it’s possible the upload failed even though the activity saved on Zwift’s side. Try visiting zwift.com/sign-in to download the ride file, which you can then upload to Strava.

Downloading from Zwift.com

If for any reason you need a copy of your .fit file from Zwift’s servers, it’s easy to access. Log into your account at zwift.com/sign-in, navigate to your activity, then click the gear icon. From the popup, click “Download Fit File”:

Fix Uploading Errors with FitFileTools.com

If you get an error when attempting to upload your .fit file to Strava or another service, the file is corrupted in some way. In that case, head over to fitfiletools.com and fix it using their tools. (Hint: the “Corrupt Time Fixer” is often the solution.)

Wrapping It Up

It can be a real bummer to finish a Zwift ride only to realize it didn’t save properly. Happily, following the simple steps above will let you post your ride to Strava or other services. As we know… if it isn’t on Strava, it didn’t happen!
