Zwift Crit Race (10/1)

[Michael T. Bello]

NCC Zwift Fall Hill Climb/Time Trial will start in a few weeks. While we are on hiatus, a few of us have been trying Zwift Crits.

On Thursday, there is a Zwift Crit at 5:45 PM. A few of us from the Tuesday group ride are planning on entering the B category, but join whatever division you would like.

Last week three of us tried the C race and two of us got disqualified for being too powerful! So this week, the plan is to try the B race.

Here is a link to the event: https://www.zwift.com/events/view/1092739

ROUTE: Crit City

LAP DISTANCE: 1.9 km (1.2 mi)

ELEVATION GAIN PER LAP: 7.9 m (26 ft)

LAPS: 8

TOTAL DISTANCE: 15.2 km (9.6 mi)

We will be on Discord communicating and working as a team where possible. 

If you want to join the NCC team on ZwiftPower (https://www.zwiftpower.com/team.php?id=227) there are instruction in the NCC Zwift Guide (page 16).

Be sure to warm up in advance. Zwift races start very fast!

As we await the start of the NCC Zwift Fall Hill Climb/Time Trial series in a few weeks, five of us tried a Zwift Crit.

This week, Charlie, Jonathan, Melissa, Zinj, and I entered the B category. The race started with 50 riders.

Each lap was 1.2 miles around Zwift's Crit City. In total, the race was 9.6 miles.

Everyone was in the lead group through the first few laps. My sensors dropped in the 3rd lap and I could not get them back. Not my night, but I was racing up a division. Melissa and Charlie were with the pack until around lap seven. Zinj flew in the final lap. Jonathan finished fourth overall.

Here are today's NCC Times from ZwiftPower:
