Four different events to tackle this weekend, with one which is very unique and probably the shortest flat time trial I have seen.
Mountain Massif – The Race
I decided to highlight Mountain Massif’s Saturday event on the basis that the Spiral into the Volcano course is being used for the very first time. It will be interesting to have a long, flat ride before battle commences on the slopes of the Volcano. I can imagine that the pace on the final climb will be rapid and will make for an eventful finale.

Herd Stampede ITT
The shortest time trial possible on Zwift, 2.1km. A simple 1 lap time trial using the Bell Lap. I have not seen this before and is certainly worth a try.
