    In our Top 5 Zwift Videos this week, we have a feast of Rapha Festive 500 logs! For the first time, virtual rides counted in this challenge to ride 500 kilometers in the 8 days between Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Videos also include a beginner’s analysis of one of his first races and a breakdown of a Zwift race finish.

    RAPHA FESTIVE 500 I Riding 500 km on Zwift in 6 days

    Starting a bit late, Dan Nelson set out to ride all 500 kilometers of the Rapha Festive 500 in 6 days instead of 8. Dan is training for the Dragon Ride Gran Fondo to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support and documenting it on his YouTube channel, “Dan vs the Dragon.” He had a plan, but how well did he stick to it?

    Tim Fitzwater didn’t expect to do all 500 kilometers indoors, but weather and other circumstances kept him on the trainer instead of on a bike outside. See how he divided up his Rapha Festive 500 rides in this vlog.

    This all-indoor Rapha Festive 500 includes some workouts from Zwift’s Build Me Up training plan. On his YouTube channel “Don’t Get Dropped Cycling,” Erik Lee shares how each day went and how those workouts affected his riding.
