Happy New Year! Our progressive winter Zwift series is back and FREE as ever. 2026 features a new 10-week series, kicking off with a Ramp Test to get your current numbers that you’ll use in Zwift for the series. You’ll do a second Ramp Test at the end of the series to see how far you’ve come.
We’re super excited to have caveworks partner with us on the 2026 series. This Fort Collins brand makes a purpose-built indoor “bike” designed for your smart trainer so you can keep your fancy outdoor bike where it belongs- outside. The caveworks Rivet also lets you either customize your build with new parts, or you can repurpose old parts you have lying around- the choice is yours. They will be joining us on a few of the Sunday group rides- a perfect way to nerd out with them and ask questions from the creators themselves. Check out Zack using his caveworks to snag some Zwift jerseys.

Fill out this waiver to participate.
Get your Zwift setup dialed ahead of January 1st. Riders will need an active Zwift account to participate. Smart trainers are the best option for these workouts, but if you have a wheel-on trainer, you’ll just need a bluetooth enabled speed sensor.
