The Zwift Spring Hammerfest runs from May 1st, 2016 – May 6th, 2016. This is a three stage hammerfest held over six days. Riders have 48 hours to complete each stage and upload a result to Strava.
This Hammerfest event will have you riding as fast as possible! The highlight of the race is stage 2’s dramatic down hill race from tower to ocean. Queue up the TT bike and your fastest virtual wheels and leave it all on the road.
Stage Details
Stage 1 – Watopia Ocean Crush – May 1st & 2nd
The Hammerfest kicks off with a 6.4 mile (10.3 km) loop under the ocean, through the cobbled village, and over the hill back to the beach. This stage is banner to banner as fast as your bicycle can carry you. At only 177 feet (54 meters) of elevation change, this will be a drag race!
Stage 2 – Watopia Downhill Madness – May 3rd & 4th
You have to earn this downhill. Slowly climb to the top of the Watopia World. Round the tower and then hit it with everything you’ve got all the way to the ocean down the steep side of the mountain. Don’t stop until you get to the sea-plane at the bridge. This is a downhill TT that only Zwift can make possible. Pick up that 100 km/h achievement if you haven’t already!
Stage 3 – Richmond Every Jersey Counts – May 5th & 6th
On the UCI Worlds lap of Richmond you will hit four important jerseys: Green Sprint banner, Broad Street Sprint, Libby Hill, 23rd Street climb. String all of these together for a big Hammerfest finish on the “Every Jersey Counts” stage.
