VBZA Zwift Racing – The Roaring Forties
EVENTS:
- For FUN and healthy competition among fellow age cat riders!
- Two races per week – enter if you are available.
- We realise some people are still able to work. We appreciate you propping up the economy, some of us are cleaning house and home schooling so a mid-week race is a welcomed distraction.
- Wednesday Morning – a “shorter Type” event (Under an hour: maybe an Inner City Crit, or similar type Circuit race like Innsbruck or Richmond if and when available OR even a TT)
- Sunday Morning – a “longer Type” event (over an hour, under 100km’s for now, we’ll work our way up to 100 clicks)
- If the event doesn’t already have a dedicated jersey, we will determine a jersey to wear on the day.
- This will allow us to identify at a quick glance on screen who we are racing against.
- It will also look BALLER if 40+ Saffa’s all pitch up in the race pen ready to fight all in the same kit! WHOA!
- We understand most of you race for teams in other events on Zwift, for these two events per week we request you all add (VBZA) behind your name. It will be easier to identify your participation on the results page. Can be done quick on Companion App pre-start
- We also request you use this tag on your Strava title.
- We’d like to encourage all Provinces to participate, hopefully all our Strava updates with VBZA tag will get some more interest from around the country.
RULES:
- ONLY Zwiftpower results will be used. Please register. It’s a bit of a run around. DM me if you don’t know “How to”
- You are welcome to set up a Discord channel for your own team to speak team tactics
- You can wear similar socks, helmets or hair-do’s to identify your team within the VBZA bunch if you want to race team tactics
- We’ll attempt to run these events while there is majority of interest
- Points will be awarded for the first 10 places (25, 15, 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
- We will run a series a month (if we all stay engaged/locked up that long) potentially public gatherings could be down for another few months?
- 80% of your race results will count towards your final tally (calculated monthly)
