Olympic Day 24-Hour Group Rides
ZWIFT COMMUNITY | on 21 June 2021 by Zwift
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:
- Countryside Tour: from farmlands to mystical mountains, this looped route is the perfect way to visit the countryside!
- Spirit Forest: grind your way through this mystical figure 8. Visit at night and ride with the spirits!
- Two Village Loop: explore two villages as you pedal through this challenging circuit.
- Flatland Loop: a gentle and flat route winding around the countryside.
