The Zwift Big Spin [March 2024]

Schedule for Big Spin rides appears to be changing to every three hours from Monday 15th April, for the final week.

Can the schedule be changed so the different events will rotate around the clock instead of being pinned at the same AM and PM time every day?

since my complaint above, I stopped winning socks and shoes in stage 3. Now I only win wheels and jersey kit repeatedly. I’ll keep trying for that NYC ball cap but time is running out…

Update 4/19/24, evening time, I finally won the NYC ball cap. 3 weeks to win it. I’m exhausted.

You say that like it might not be the best way to write Yumezi?

Cool Event! Only rode each course once. Won the blue sky helmet, beret, headphones, shoes and overall event kit. I wanted the shoes and the wheels so 50%, nice!

Congratulations, it always pays off to behave a bit like a dog with a bone.

I know it’s kinda late to ask this as I was late to the game since I recently just acquired a trainer… anyway… it was mentioned that the make up spins will be from April 14 - April 22, 2024. Since today is April 22 (GMT +8), why is it that I don’t see any more stages for the make up spin? The last was at 7:15am this morning. I thought during the make up spin week, there’s be stages every 3 hours.

The Zwift Big Spin will start on March 11, 2024 @ 16:15 UTC and ends on April 22, 2024 @06:59 UTC.

Thanks! This means it will be today at 3pm (GMT +8) for me. There goes my last stage - stage 3. OCD me crying now. :grin:

it’s coming

Oh the memories of trying to complete routes as many times as possible by repeated late joins, without turning a pedal. :rofl:

And have all of those late joins using only pedal assist ( no power ) to cross the finish line show up on Zwift Power, too.

Only in the results once though.
Some people were crossing the same finish line 3 or 4 times per event

Sounds like me.
I talked to Guerra and then he told everyone.
I’m keeping my late join secret to myself this tour d Zwift.

Some managed 6 or possibly 7 on some routes iirc. :rofl:

Thing is, it was fun and it wasn’t a race.

Wonder if they will make it a bit less easy to ‘cheese’ the wheel this time around or not.

That depends on how they design the prize wheel. If you couldn’t keep getting the same one then you might be able to unlock everything you want without having to game it.
Or have the wheel show up a few times along the route so you don’t need to late join again to get multiple spins.

Can you imagine the uproar if people can’t get their bonuses without riding, and preferable the entire wheel of bonuses in minimum time.

After all the hype of the last time I see almost nobody using that heavy bike or the wheels.

All Tron, Venge and Aeroad or Cadex and will probably remain that way until those bikes get nerfed and then everyone will go for whatever is fastest.

Could also be next time that late joins won’t unlock the really desirable items. You can get hats, gloves and socks but not bikes or wheels.

Yeah, that’s true, that said I find the Cosmic Cruiser a bit useful, I bring it on longer slow group rides where I want to more easily see my avatar. I used it today actually - Now that they have the glowing boundary around your avatar it’s less useful I suppose.
