The seventh instalment of the Toyota Tour de Virtuale community ride is taking place this Wednesday 28 February at 6pm on Zwift.

The ride will be 45 minutes with the aim of it being a no-drop ride, so it’s important to remember, it’s a ride, not a race.

About Your Ride Leader: Sarah Hill

Sarah got into cycling after high school with a nudge from her then-rowing coach, and little did she know how thrilling riding a bike would be. Since then she has explored every single discipline cycling has to offer, with her favourite being Marathon Stage Racing.  During the winter months, Zwift is her go-to for getting structured training in. She is currently involved in a couple of aspects of the cycling world. She is a coach for The Threshold Coaching, where she also teaches mountain bike skills and is a performance consultant for all sports and performance-related topics. She is also the head coach of the Absa #SheUntamed project, where she and her team assist 40 women on their journeys to participate in the Absa Cape Epic.  Some notable achievements in her career on the bike would be winning the African Jersey at the 2019 Absa Cape Epic, receiving her Amabubesi Finishers Medal at the 2023 Absa Cape Epic, competing in events such as the Swiss Epic, Cape Pioneer Trek, JoBurg2C, Tankwa Trek as well as winning some big national events such as Attakwas Extreme and Race2theSun! In 2022 she spent the majority of the year in the USA competing in professional gravel racing, which was an experience of a lifetime – one which she will cherish forever. She can’t wait to host the ride on Wednesday 28 February!
