Taking place on June 28 and July 5 – Zwift is kicking off the Cervélo Rise to the Challenge Series. The two new events on the virtual training and racing platform enable athletes to ride with 2019 IRONMAN World Champion Anne Haug and, one of Great Britain’s top IRONMAN athletes, David McNamee.
Via a social ride on June 28, Zwifters can… ‘Connect with fellow Zwifters. Chat it up with Anne and David. Get a taste of Zwift’s fastest in-game tri bike: the Cervélo PX-Series. This is a rare bike that typically requires over 1.6 million drops to unlock, not to mention only Zwifters over level 47 can even access it.’
