    Woman Racer Spotlight: Christine Schneider

    Name: Christine Schneider

    Hometown: Königstein, Germany

    How did you get into Cycling? I have been a spinning instructor for a long time. In 2014, I met my current husband in one of my courses, who got me into road cycling. He took me to a cycling marathon in the Alps (Maratona Dles Dolomites, 138 km, 4230m elevation gain) without me ever having sat on a road bike. Since that event, I have been hooked and love cycling indoors and outdoors!

    How many years have you been racing on Zwift? I started zwifting during Covid and racing on Zwift (ZRL) one year later, maybe 2020?

    Are you part of a virtual team? Yes, I’m part of the team of ABUS SYNERGY.

    What do you love most about racing? I wonder the same thing, lol! Sweat, pain and pushing yourself to the limit… I love it.

    What is your Favourite style of race? Scratch.

    What is your favourite Zwift women’s race series? I like elite races like World Series and Restart Invitational.

    What is your most memorable racing experience? It was the “Radmarathon Tannheimer Tal” 2023 in Austria. It was raining heavily before the start and I rode 214 km in the rain on slippery roads and with little view of the great mountains. It was a great experience and I was 3rd in my age group.

    What is your favourite food to eat post race? Noodles – pre race, post race, always.

    What advice would you give to a woman entering her first Zwift race? Have fun! That’s all that matters!

    Any upcoming race you are looking forward? Restart Invitational, Zwift Games.

    Where can people follow your racing adventures? Find me on Strava at strava.com/athletes/71595869
