Zurich, May 22 - 25, 2025

Social Rides by Specialized

SPECIALIZED and Cycle Week invite you to discover the roads around Zurich on our social rides and celebrate your passion for road cycling together.

Let's pedal together, share experiences and make new friends!

Whether you want to enjoy the scenery or challenge your endurance, we have the right guided tour for you.
But there's more to the perfect ride experience! The coffee at the Cycle Week Bar, the after-ride protein shake from Mucki and a raclette from the Valais are just part of the comprehensive package we have put together for you. After the tour, you can look forward to a relaxed exchange with like-minded people while enjoying the atmosphere and liveliness of Cycle Week.

Groups

This group is aimed at riders who prefer a relaxed ride. The speed on the flat is around 22-25 km/h and emphasizes a relaxed atmosphere. It is not a drop ride, which means we wait for each other at the top of the mountain and continue the ride together.
Route: approx. 40km, 500 hm

Women's Social Ride: approx.  40km, 500 hm 

Fast Ride
This group also offers our experienced riders the opportunity to burn off energy at a speed of around 27+ km/h on the flat and enjoy a ride together. It is not a drop ride, which means we wait for each other at the top of the mountain and continue the ride together.
Route: approx. 55km, 600hm
