Ride with Barbara Malcotti on Zwift

Ride details

The Social Spin by Human Powered Health is a monthly Zwift ride that’s all about spinning the legs out, having a good time, and hanging out with friends. Have no fear – this ride is not competitive. You can push yourself as much or as little as you like. Best of all, two lucky ride finishers will be selected at random each month to win great prizes from Thorne and Pactimo.

Thorne Training Bundle
The Thorne Training Bundle includes Creatine, Amino Complex, and Beta-Alanine to support and enhance energy production, muscle endurance, and power output during training.

This month’s ride is hosted by Barbara Malcotti as she gets ready for the Alfredo Trofeo Binda Classic on Sunday. Our Italian climber has been in top form since an elbow break at the start of the year and recently displayed this at Strade Bianhce, where she made a strong breakaway on the beautiful gravel roads of Tuscany.

Hailing from the Dolomites of Trentino, Barbara is a climber well suited to the hilly Ardennes classics and stage racing. Having grown up in the mountains, Barbara has a natural affinity for those days on the bike when flat sections of road are few and far between. 2023 was a coming-of-age year for Barbara and her developing qualities as a GC rider were showcased by a top twenty finish in the Giro d’Italia. Barbara also scored her first professional victory in 2023, winning from an incredible solo breakaway effort at the Tour Cycliste Féminin International de l’Ardèche.
