    Eric Min Thanksgiving Day Ride 2025 Announced with Mathieu van der Poel

    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 ride is always popular, with thousands showing up. And often, Eric has a big-name guest on the ride as well! (Past guests have included Anna van der Breggen, Justin Williams, and Chloé Dygert.) This year’s special guest: Mathieu van der Poel!

    See below for ride details…

    Route and Schedule Details

    Event start time is 4pm UTC/11am ET/8am PT on Thursday, November 27. This is an open-paced ride, so you can ride hard or easy. With lots of riders joining in, you’ll always have someone to ride with!

    The ride is 60 minutes long and held on the new Spinfinity route in New York. This route takes you around the new Jarvis Island, the Volcano, up and over the Hilly KOM Reverse, and more.

    Kit Unlocks

    Finish the ride, and you’ll unlock the T-Day kit:

    Earlier + Longer Options

    If this ride is too late in the day for you and/or you’re looking for a longer ride, check out BMTR’s traditional Thanksgiving 100, which begins at 1pm UTC/8am ET/5am PT. Riders will be on the Watopia’s Waistband for 100km, and there are three pace groups: D at 1.6-2 W/kg, C at 2.2-2.6 W/kg, and B at 2.8-3.2 W/kg.

    Starting just 5 minutes after BMTR’s ride, my Thursday Pizza Burner 100km kicks off at 1:05pm UTC/8:05am ET/5:05am PT on Tick Tock in Watopia. Ride with me at ~2.5 W/kg, or join the zinners up the road!
