Zwift is a platform that has always sought to make cycling social, whether you are riding for a fun fitness option or training for a race.  Joining a team with a women’s contingent can bring a lot of joy and organizational, logistical, and technical assistance.  Plus, the conversations on Zwift, on Facebook, and in Discord servers are helpful at least and uplifting and nourishing at best. 

There are so many great teams out there, and joining one is the first real step in the journey to discover your inner racer.  Below is a list of major women’s teams. We’ll be building out this list with descriptions of each team and an explanation of how to join.

Absque Fines p/b Wolfe

Pronounced “aub-sqwey finesse”, this team was originally made possible by friends who wanted to race together on the A circuits. We focus on getting a true race experience out of each event—recons, race prep and practice attacks/scrimmage, DS on-staff with racers, post-race write-ups, etc. We are very small and close-knit because of it. We look for willing participants who will invest themselves into the team and show up on a semi-regular basis for all kinds of races, not just ZRL. 

Aeonian Race Team

Aeonian Racing Team is an inclusive women’s eracing team. Our goal is to promote Women’s cycling and empower women of all abilities across all categories, for any female identifying athletes. We take pride in our mission to support, empower and develop riders, helping them achieve their individual aspirations. We believe that with the right support you can achieve anything and everything. WE ARE STRONGER TOGETHER.

AHDR 

AHDR stands for Aussie Hump Day Riders. We are one of the most largest zwift teams, co founded in the early days of Zwift creation. We are a diverse Australian team that accommodates lots of timezones across the world. We promote Fun, Fitness and Friendships. Everyone is supported to flourish.

ATOM Racing 

Formed in 2020 originally for Wattbike Atom owners, we now welcome racers on any smart trainer. We have a small but growing ladies team of all ages and abilities and have a supportive and fun group chat to give you all the encouragement and advice you need. We would love more ladies to join us.

ATP

ATP is an ALL-inclusive mixed team.  It is important to us to support all identified women in multiple areas of cycling. We have been racing TTT and ZRL since the inception of both venues.  Our primary focus now is ZRL, mixed teams with focused women’s teams (Eastern, and Western America Division) but we continue to TTT, participate in Duathlon league, Herd weekend series, and SNOW sprint series when it is running. We believe in grassroots development, so our D racers are as integral to the team as our A racers. We don’t actively recruit. We don’t want to be too large of a team where we don’t know each other.  We keep our membership open to friends and if someone approaches us to join. Lastly, our team is active racing IRL in multiple sports including triathlon, duathlon, marathon, road, gravel, mtb, and cyclocross.  We even race motorcycles and cars. We do it all.

It initially started as a triathlon focus for women but has moved to all facets of endurance wear including branching into Zwift Racing in 2020. We are strong, spirited, athletic + keep fitness fun, + fashion at the forefront. We play hard, work harder + feel confident in our skin, skin suits or wetsuits while we do it. Whether you ride 200 miles per week or 20 – being a badass means having the courage to do it, whatever that “it” is for YOU. To show up. To be confident in the skin you’re in. To be the best you can be in all areas of your life, even when things get tough. Bettys are powerful alone, but together we are unstoppable.
