Zwift Chat

When does it start? I think zwiftpowrr still has me in B but I haven't raced or cycled much all summer so must do some test races to see where I am. Suspect I'll have to re weigh myself too unfortunately!

Sept 22nd ,time for some training

I’m in a DIRT D/C squad and we have a lady who is our climber. I’m sure your lady would easily fit into one of our teams. DIRT run multiple at multiple time slots.

If she goes on discord I can pass on the team organisers details and they’ll find her a place e for sure

They’re a great bunch, very friendly and welcoming

Worth a shot. I'll reach out via PM.

I was hoping some summer riding and a bit less food would get me into C - alas, I've only lost 1kg and I'm still very firmly in D

There's also going to be DRS starting 22 September on Tuesdays for those who prefer that flavour of competition.

Shame they both clash

I've signed up to DRS rather than ZRL as I find the bronze/silver races more even than the Zwift categorisation.

I agree Drs seems the better option unfortunately for me are team admin had already gone down the ZRL route and didn't want to have teams in both leagues so I'm in ZRL , unfortunate they both choose Tuesdays

It was as a result of the survey - so what the users wanted. I think it's because people have historically carved out the "right to race on Tuesday" into their family life. And those who prefer DRS over ZRL wanted it that way.
I enjoyed ZRL last year, but I did find it very "segment heavy". DRS only tends to have three active scoring segments per race.
And also TTTs suck, so that's another negative for ZRL TTRs are much nicer.
I think also the teams of 10, only 5 race is not nice. In DRS all 8 can race every week.

I'm not sure about this new "race of truth" in ZRL either. Switch off the draft and you basically have a mass start iTT points race with no draft.
Sounds like hell.

I'll be on a medical break for the first few weeks anyway, but it would be DRS for me.

Such a shame, that's very disappointing

I definitely prefer DRS as a format, and agree that TTRs are so much better. My impression is that ZRL remains more popular in general so hopefully this season doesn't suffer. That said my fitness is rubbish so not sure I'm much of an asset to any team at the minute! Good motivation
