Down Under Crit Series presented by MAAP
Group Ride
EVENT DESCRIPTION
The season’s cold. The riding’s hot.
No sun? No worries. This year, the Zwift Down Under Crit Series is bringing the fun to Aussie winter. What is it? An eight-week ride series built for the Southern Hemisphere’s indoor season. Whether you’re here to push your limits or just keep your legs turning, you’ll be riding with a pack of legends from across Australia.
Expect fast-paced, chaingang-style group rides with a steady rollout and full-gas finish—modelled after the iconic Donny Chaingang format. Each event lasts around 45 minutes, with the Fence on for the first two laps, before it’s an all out race on the final one. Listen to the leader, and stay behind the fence!
You'll ride as one big group (no categories), with two time slots, at 6:00pm & 7:30pm AEST. One bunch. All heart. Winter’s on.
