ABOUT

Welcome to Zwift's version of the 2018 Amgen Tour of California. We've hand-picked each stage to create a similar experience to what the Pros are racing. You'll get to experience what it's like to compete for 7 straight days over varied terrain and distances.

IS THIS A RACE?

No, it's a personal challenge against the distance and the clock. Some participants will ride the event like a race but there is no winner of Zwift's Amgen Tour of California. It's all about doing your best and trying to finish as many stages as possible. It's all about doing your best and trying to finish as many stages as possible.

TURN UP THE VOLUME!

Before the start of each stage, Dave Towle, the "Voice of the Amgen Tour of California", will describe what the pros will face that day and pick his favorites. He'll also discuss what Zwifters will face in their stage. Be sure to turn up the volume, you don't want to miss it!

STAGE 5 / ZWIFT

We chose the Road To Ruins course for Stage 5 because it most resembles what the Pro riders will face. It's mostly flat with only one climb as you enter and leave the jungle.

COURSE: Road to Ruins
LAP DISTANCE: 18.7 mi / 30 km
ELEVATION GAIN: 905 ft / 275 m

STAGE 5 / REAL WORLD

This should be a day for the sprinters as the 109.4 mi / 176 km stage will feature just over 2500 ft / 762 m of climbing and only one notable ascent.

Good luck Zwifters!
