Year-end holiday activities filled with gastronomic delights can be hard for cyclists to resist with plentiful food and temptations at every turn. WorldTour pro team Alpecin-Fenix wants to help cyclists burn off those extra calories at their Alpecin-Fenix Holiday Calorie Bash from 26-30 December on Zwift.
They promise to help you loose weight easily, since every day pros will lead rides that only go up and up and up Zwift’s famed 1035m Alp d’Zwift climb.
Regardless of whether you want to win the Alpe d’Zwift KOM, improve your personal best time or simply want to “cruise” up the painful twelve-kilometer climb, the 5-day series will help you get fit (and thin) for the New Year! Every day a different pro rider will lead the group to summit Alpe de Zwift while providing some extra motivation – and maybe a virtual push or two.
The series is FREE and if you register, you will be entered in a drawing for some cool team merchandise including: An impossible to get entry for the 2022 L’Etape du Tour gran fondo, Team Alpecin-Fenix winter training kit, Team Alpecin-Fenix Canyon helmet, Oakley glasses, WAHOO KIKR Snap trainer and an Alpecin sport bag.
