Welcome to the inaugural Zwift Virtual Sydney To Surfers Event! For the first time, we have partnered with the developers of Zwift to create a unique virtual ride experience for you.

This Zwift charity event enables riders from around the globe to participate without leaving the comfort of their own home or office.

On each day of the real world event, the Zwift event will roll out at 6:30am AEST (UTC+10) and take riders through some of Zwift’s most iconic courses around the world, including London, Makuri Islands, Watopia, France, the US and Scotland.

Finishing around 7:30am AEST, you will still have time to breakfast, dress and be ready for the day ahead. There’s a brief description of the real world rides below along with their virtual equivalent. Each of these virtual rides are designed to match the day’s real ride and are selected to give all types of riders, from novice through to more advanced cyclists, an enjoyable riding experience.



They are not races but a great way to be part of a charity ride with a difference. We’re hopeful to have some very special guests leading some of these virtual rides and there’ll be plenty of opportunity to interact and to hear the latest news from the real-world ride. All we ask in return is for each virtual rider to donate to the Sydney to Surfers Robbo’s Ride fundraising campaign.


Your donations will help support the incredible work of Father Chris Riley’s Youth Off The Streets a not-for-profit youth organisation that provides safety, support, and opportunities for young people to build a positive future. We offer crisis accommodation and housing services, alternative high school education, alcohol and other drugs counselling, youth justice support, life skills and employment programs, cultural support, and community engagement, among other services. Youth Off The Streets focus on early interventions that empower young people and strengthen communities.
