I am sure I got an email in the last few days about an event on new years day, that was Le Col Challenge or something. It looked like a 100km sportive that include Alp d’Zwift.
I have searched my email, and googled, and looked at Events on Zwift’s site, but cannot find any record of this.
Am I imagining this? Is there a mountain event on new years day? Anyone have a link so I can see times?
The New Year’s Day Century Ride is a timeless cycling tradition where riders knock out their first 100 miles of the new year. For 2020, Zwift is bringing the fun indoors. Say hello to the first annual Le Col New Year’s Day Century Celebration. Three groups. Three distances. Three chances to kick off the new year right, no matter what your fitness level is. Take your pick, and complete any distance to unlock the stylish in-game Le Col kit and get your hands on some awesome real-life prizes.
From what I can tell, it’s 2 laps of the Watopia Pretzel route plus another 10 miles. That would mean Epic KOM at least 4 times and Radio tower twice…I don’t think the Alpe is a part of it unless that’s the last bit off the Pretzel route. Either way…it would be at least 9000 ft of climbing which is a ton. I’m still debating on whether to do it (probably will), but it’ll take me a pretty long time…
That’s a good point, I did Double check the filters and didn’t have any selected. I have another friend that wasn’t able to find an event either. Anyway, not the end of the world, just thought it was strange.
