2020 Tri-Series on Zwift
Like previous years, we have teamed up with Geelong and Colac Cycling Clubs to hold a race series between the 3 clubs. Only this year, we are doing it online, on Zwift. Whilst the tri-series shield won't be up for grabs, we are encouraging any riders from these 3 cities/towns to participate. Yes, that's right. Even if you're not a financial member of a club you can participate. However, for your result to count you must be on Zwift Power and join your respective team.
Here are some details about the upcoming Zwift Tri-Series:
During this tricky period of time it can be a great opportunity to spend some time working on other areas that will help to improve your cycling. Strength and Flexibility are some of these areas that can be very beneficial to your riding - helping to both increase your resilience to injury as well as improving your power output capacity, allowing you to push higher wattage and also making you more efficient. RAD’s online coaching service will put together an individualised program for you to complete at home, based upon your injury history, riding goals and the equipment you have access to.
Here are some details about the upcoming Zwift Tri-Series:
- WHEN - The first 3 Saturdays of May at 8:50am. Saturday 2nd, 9th & 16th May.
- WHAT - The Herd Race. 33kms. Graded A, B, C & D
- HOW - Please place BSCC at the end of your name, ensure you have a Zwift Power profile and you have joined BSCC. Here are Instructions
- Every rider earns their club a point for participating. Extra points awarded to the first, second and third placed riders from the 3 clubs and bonus points awarded to any riders finishing on the podium overall.
