Time trial your way up the mountains - the ultimate test
Race Against the clock
Time trialling is the simplest of formats – a race against the clock. It’s known as the “race of truth” because there’s nowhere to hide, just you against the ticking clock. A mountain time trial has the added complexity of having to measure and manage your effort so that you reach the summit. In these events, you race yourself, but are also spurred on by racing shoulder to shoulder with your fellow competitors, to see who is the fastest.

Tuesday
Tuesday’s Mini Mountain Massif TT, is designed to test your pure climbing power with an all-out 5-minute effort on Zwift’s Bologna course.
This time trial event is designed so you can go “full throttle” on a climb for a shortened period of time and to push yourself beyond your perceived limits.
With a mass start you will be shoulder to shoulder with fellow racers from the beginning to tempt you to keep pace with the stronger riders. What tactics do you employ? Go hard on the flat and hang on up the short climb, or go steady on the flat and attack your rivals on the climb? Only you can decide and the decision you make could impact your result.
If you are not interested in racing for the victory, treat this event as a test of your 5-minute power. Generate a consistently high power for 5-minutes and boost your stats.
Wdnesday
These are three short events that can be raced independeently or you can tackle all three to have a complete workout.
This event is designed so you can go “full throttle” on a climb for a very short period of time and to push yourself beyond your perceived limits, going shoulder to shoulder with fellow racers. This is an all-out anaerobic effort and will leave you gasping for air.
The race is short and frantic, completely different to anything else offered on Zwift.
