Do you miss cycling in a group? Not only big events like granfondos and races are canceled. The weekly group or club ride is also not possible under the given conditions. Ready for a spectacular alternative?
Join now the new Alpecin Cycling Series on Zwift. Together at the start line in the virtual giant group ride with other „Zwifters“ in the Alpecin jersey. Finish in your own pace, have fun and a great time with your buddies and cycling fans.
Is this a Race?
No, but some participants may ride it like one. The Alpecin Cycling Series is a personal challenge against the distance and the clock. It’s all about doing your best and trying to finish.
Highlight: Long-Distance Route
The Alpecin Cycling Series offers you the ultimate endurance challenge of virtual long-distance. Based on your fitness or your personal goals, „rock“ the giant group ride in your own pace. If this is the first group ride for you on Zwift, welcome!
