Zwift CEO and Co-Founder Eric Min has traditionally led a T-Day ride on Thanksgiving morning, inviting Zwifters to put in some early bike miles before spending time eating turkey and pumpkin pie with family and friends!
This rides is always popular, with thousands showing up. Often, Eric will have some big-name guests on the ride as well! (With the ride still unannounced and over a week away, the rider list is short, but my guess is you’ll see many community leaders and well-known cyclists showing up.)
This year’s ride has a rare double-jersey unlock, plus we’ll be on one of the new Jarvis Island routes. Read below for details…
