Hey All,
Is there a calendar for the upcoming Tours or do we all just wait and see what Zwift ends up creating? It sure would be good to plan ahead / train for Tours. Plus I find the Tours to be the most motivating aspect of the Zwift lifestyle, so it would be great to look forward to them.
Thanks,
Devin
There’s no such calendar. Just be on the lookout for announcements of new tours.
Alright, well maybe you’ll consider planning ahead a bit more so you can announce at least quarterly Tours. They’re so fun when they come around.
What are we supposed to do? Zwift announce the big events so close to when they’re starting, that you can’t train or prepare for them. With outdoor riding events mostly stopped, I’d really like to have a few months notice for the big one day and big series events like Tour de Zwift.
Right now, I get Zwift emails sometimes, or I find info on ZwiftInsider.com, is there another place to look (and don’t say Facebook/Instragram, I’m not on them). I just want a page to go to that has a calendar of events out 3 or 4 months.
come on Zwift!!
I completely agree. The lack of planning is a real turn off.
On a slightly related note … why is it that we have to go into the game to view routes and badges? Why isn’t that information available on both the companion app and on the website? ZwiftInsider.com is the only place that we can view that stuff? So weird.
Yes, it would be nice to have more than a couple weeks notice for big events.
Do you want to order a calendar but don’t know where to start and what to choose? Indeed, sometimes it’s not easy because there are so many calendars you can get lost in them.
Nope. Most events in Zwift are announced with pretty short notice. Your best best is to either be at peak fitness all year and try not to burn out or just roll with the punches and give their events the a go with whatever fitness you may have in this moment. This includes national championships and some ZRL series.
Seriously though, it would be nice to have even a tentative yearly calendar to factor in fitness peaks, base periods, IRL racing seasons, and maybe a week or two of down time.
I’m aiming to solve part of this. Earlier this year I started the Chasing Yellow event series with a race everyday during the TdF. I found that anchoring Zwift events around the real life pro events and calendars peaks interest.
So for 2023 I’m working on creating the Chasing Tour based on the UCI World Tour calendar. I want riders to have the ability to map out their year.
I plan to award points to riders for each event so you can win the overall year, but also the sub events or tours where you can win GC.
@James_Zwift are there any updates on the timing of the big 2023 events: TdW, TdZ, etc? Or even just a date that they may be locked in? As many of us are planning 2023 events now, and it would be great to have those in the calendar sooner, rather than later.
Not yet I’m afraid. I’ll mention this again to the team.
It’s crazy how these events are run year after year but so little planning or public communication goes into them.
Oh you have no idea how much planning goes into our larger series - work on them generally begins about 4 months out.
We could definitely do better with more advance notice though.
I’m sure I have no idea how much planning goes into it. Especially if every event creation is still a manual process. A publicly accessible rolling 3/4 month calendar would be lovely.
