August 🥨 RIDES

Each week in August, we'll be visiting a different route on Zwift. This month we'll be throwing in routes with some new Paris routes for some badge work but also plenty of short climbs & sprints, should you choose to speed please regroup.

Although the ride officially stops at 2 hours, we strongly encourage you to carry on for the after party, and bag that route badge.

Pick your intensity wisely, 2.0w/kg (red beacon) will be zone 2 for many cat C riders, 2.5w/kg (yellow beacon) is zone 2 for moderate to high cat B riders (or choose to push your w/kg a bit higher by using a MTB).

The Velos jersey is unassigned during this event but you will unlock it if you complete the 2 hour ride, please wear our jersey to show your support if you have it in your garage🙏. Long rides can drag on your own, so jump in, and Team Velos will help the time fly past with the friendly chat and questionable jokes. Don't forget to grab a bidon or two, and bring some snacks!
