This year’s Pride events will be hosted on Zwift’s Makuri Islands map, with events rotating between routes daily.

- Runs: 30 minutes long on Neon Flats and Fine and Sandy

AIDS/LifeCycle Rides
For over 30 years, AIDS/LifeCycle has worked to raise awareness to end the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS and fund the fight against this global pandemic. Every spring, the organization hosts a 7-day bicycle trek from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
In addition, this year Zwift is hosting 3 days of social rides on Zwift to support their mission! These 45-minute rides happen on June 4, 8, and 10th at 3pm UTC/8am PDT.

Disappointed with the times offered for the Pride On rides this year. Not very friendly to morning-ET riders who have to be at work by 9:30am.
I agree. Events like this shouldn’t be the same time every day. In my time zone they’re at 4 and 10 o’clock. Changing it by an hour each day, or each week, would put it into a workable slot for everyone at some point.
Listening to people in America whining about zwift ride times has always made me smile a little – in Australia.
6:30AM EDT is available now
Zwift added a 5th daily ride at 10:30 UTC!
Is Zwift some kind sex community now? Cycling is not anymore important? Why to bring that`s kind things to Zwift? Many people like ride not this LGBT…. thing. Sorry!
These events makes no difference to you. You simply don’t ride them and your day doesn’t change at. You know who it might change? That confused 16 year old trying to make sense of their world. It also may not. But if it helps one person gain acceptance of themselves instead of taking their own life – sign me up.
Also, it’s a pretty good business decision. Why? Because most people support things like this.
Plus those socks look cool. 😉
Apology accepted. 👍
Were you upset about the Black Celebration series too, or are you just afraid of rainbows?
Sigh… the critters come out every year. Queer people exist everywhere, always have, always will. These are great rides with hundreds of participants, nice people, nice kit, nice rainbows. What’s not to like? I recommend the regular pride rides to everyone. If we’re going to start banning certain types of rides, I propose starting with time trials.
I am always disappointed in the Pride jersey’s. I feel they could always look better.
Are the 250 km based on the distance ridden in the Pride On event rides or also any map/event within the month of June?
Any event (or free ride, or workout…)
Thanks 😉
I’d like to add that most of the 150 Pride rides this month will be led by members of LGBTQ Zwifters Club and other community members.
