Do you Zwift? We do. And over the course of the few months we’re running a series of events where you can ride with us: every Monday night at 8.10pm UK time, starting on 19 February. If you ride enough of them you’ll be entered into a draw to win a fantastic CycleOps Hammer trainer worth £999. And there are spot prizes along the way! Welcome to the road.cc and CycleOps Hammertime series!
If you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of years then you might have missed the advent of interactive indoor training: Zwift, TrainerRoad, The Sufferfest, Rouvy, Kinomap… the list goes on and on. Zwift is a massively multiplayer online environment where you can ride with thousands of other cyclists from around the world. There’s a timetable or organised events too, and that’s what we’re tapping into. We’re running an eight-week series, with a mix of group workouts (where you follow a specific plan for the ride) and group rides (where we all just ride around together and maybe do a couple of sprints and have a laugh). At the end we’ll be running a longer Fondo event: think online sportive for that one, it might be the longest ride you’ve done on an indoor trainer. And if you get involved you can win a CycleOps Hammer trainer worth £999! Here’s how it works
> Review: CycleOps Hammer trainer
To be in with a chance of winning the Hammer trainer you have to:
- Be resident in the UK. Sorry, friends from the rest of the world, this one’s UK only.
- Complete at least one road.cc / CycleOps Hammertime group workout or group ride
- Complete the road.cc / CycleOps Hammertime Fondo on 23 April
So there you go! Two rides online and you’re in the hat for the big prize. Not only that, but there will be spot prizes on all of the series rides, that we’ll give to one lucky rider. There are CycleOps Training mats, Sweat catchers and riser blocks to be won along the way. All the more reason to get involved.
Look out for the events on Zwift. Of course, we’ll let you know on road.cc when they’re live. Full terms and conditions for the series and the prizes are here. Block out an hour at 8pm every Monday!

Aww I was all excited about
Aww I was all excited about this as I’d love a trainer… until I saw you need to own a turbo trainer already to win another turbo trainer.
I know my place.

Agreed that is kind of lame! I get they are trying to encourage people into it, but these turbo’s are £1k so quite an investment.
This competition should be open to all to enter….

You can go on Zwift with any trainer. You don’t need to spend £1k.

You could find a local gym with a Zwift-compatible trainer and enter using that. Just a thought.
I’m hoping 8 o’clock on
I’m hoping 8 o’clock on Mondays won’t be the only opportunity to Zwift with Road.cc, it’s about the only evening of the week I can’t make. I wear my road.cc jersey with pride when I’m zwifting and look forward to being able to participate in your events, just not at this time on Mondays!

The rides look to be around 25 miles, a little over an hour. Take part in most of the events to be put into the draw for a decent direct drive smart Trainer

I’m now borrowing a trainer, so looking forward to getting online and seeing what all this zwift fuss is about.
Some people I know totally hibernate in the dark months and rave about their ride through London or Zwiftopia or wherever.. it’s a bit weird, but hey I wear day glow socks, shave my legs, dress like a human sausage and walk around town sniffing coffee so…
WIN something you already
WIN something you already have and the rest go to hell
Isn’t it illegal in this
Isn’t it illegal in this country for a ‘free entry’ contest to require a purchase to enter? So isn’t it illegal to make entry into this competition dependent on having already purchased a trainer?
