On June 23, the Olympic Virtual Series on Zwift, will host 24 back-to-back group rides, each hosted by a different Olympian or special guest. This is Olympic Day—24 hours of mass-participation rides throughout our newest map, Yumezi!
Rides kick off at the top of every hour beginning at 12 a.m. PDT // 8 a.m. BST // 4 p.m. JST. Each ride takes 50 minutes, giving you enough time to finish strong, refill your bottles, and hop into the next one if you’d like! The events rotate through four different Yumezi routes:
