[Closed] Calling all C (& D) cat Zwift MTBers!
I keep seeing 'stw' as a tag on Zwift. I haven't been on stw for a while, glad to see there's a lot of us MTBers who ride and race online.
OK, I managed to get my hands on the controls and host my own race twice a week on Zwift.
It's called 'Sledgehammer'and is at 7pm on a Thursday and 7:50 am on a Saturday.
It's a handicap race aimed at riders under 3.2 wkg.
Here's how:
Jungle circuit only.
Doubledraft and steering is ON.
Power ups are OFF.
The A cat is restricted to TT bike only (so draggy tyres and no draft benefit)
The B cat is restricted to Zwift aero bike (so draggy tyres)
The C and D cat (both in the same C pen) is free choice bike.
What happens is this: any rider joining C pen without reading the race description (most of them!) usually chooses a road type bike.
So it turns into a chase. All the mountain bikers from the C pen get dropped at the start by most of the road bikes. But as soon as the dirt starts, the mountain bikers steadily wind in the road bikes. I like to see if I can catch every C cat road bike during the race.
And steering brings a new dimension. The Elite Sterzo Smart is really good!
Thursday is 2 laps, Saturday is 4 laps.
It amuses me greatly and is really good training so here's your invitation!
