The Zwift adventure is back for the 2023 MitoSpin. To make it better than ever, we’ve added the excitement and community that comes with Zwift for those who want to interact with others in a virtual world while supporting MitoCanada. We welcome those riders who want to work together to help create a world where all lives are powered by healthy mitochondria.
There are five 1-hour routes that begin at the top of each hour. You can ride at your own pace or stick with the group – your choice. Join for one hour or all five – it’s your energy, your ride, your choice.
