Interclub Elimination Race on TrainingPeaks Virtual. 7pm, Tuesday 7 January.
In recent years, we’ve organised various virtual events on Zwift for local clubs, including handicap races up the Alpe du Zwift, chase races and team time trials. This year, we’re hosting an elimination race on TrainingPeaks Virtual. TPV is like Zwift, but better in many ways, and less good in others. It’s free until March, when it will be bundled into the price of TrainingPeaks premium. So this is a great chance to try it out. If you join the Sotonia club on TPV, you can ride in Sotonia branded kit in-game.
The elimination race is likely to last about 40 minutes for the winner and will be held on a flat velodrome. After 5 sighting laps, two riders will be eliminated each alternate lap (starting on lap 6; the sprints will come every 70 to 80 seconds) if they are the last two to cross the start/finish banner.
Field size is set to 30, although if we have more riders who sign up, we can expand the field, and increase the number of riders who are eliminated each time. If this happens, I’ll post an update here.
Because the race is intended for BC South riders, you will need to use the special access link here.
See you there!
