Basic Information

The race start time is 6:30pm (mst).  Make-ups can be completed on your own course before the start of the next weeks race, to have it count you must put it in the companion club chat that you finished. Please read the technology section below on more details about start times.  You just need to register one time, so I have your information.  After that you will join the MTCX Club on the Zwift Companion App. You must be on Zwift.  You must have the Zwift Companion App.  You must wear a heart rate strap.  

Technology and Must Have's

In order to register and compete in the races, you must have a Zwift setup.  My contact is montanacyclocross@gmail.com.  Beyond the general Zwift setup, you also must wear a heart rate strap to compete in this series.  The next steps are to download the Zwift Companion App and become a member of the club "MTCX".  Then RSVP yes to each race you'd like to attend. On race day, you want to login to Zwift at least 15 minutes prior.  Then you want to physically enter and ride in a world.  Ideally, the world you ride in is the one that contains our course for that day (for example if the course is "Watopia Waistband" then you should ride in "Watopia" before the race).  At some point, anywhere from 2-20 minutes before the start, you will get a message that asks if you want to join the Meetup.  Just click "Join."  Your avatar will move to the starting pen for the course with all the other registered racers.  There is a ticker counting down till the ride start.  This is the ticker till when the race starts. 

I will use the Zwift Companion App for race results.  Then I'll break that up into results for the individual categories.

Race Categories

• Female A/B
• Male A/B 
• Male 40+
• Female 40+
• Clydesdale - 200lb+

Rules and Doping

- If you'd like to trainer dope, dope in general, or worry about others doping then this is probably not the event for you.  I can spot folks who aren't being realistic and take it up with them one on one.  That said I do not have a sure-fire system of knocking out dopers or anything like.  Please be realistic with body weight and trainer calibration.  I will be double checking folks on their watts per kg compared to their Zwift and Zwift Power profiles.

- Zwift bike and wheel selection can be a big deal, especially for hilly courses.  There will be no requirements for what setup you need to ride.  It's a virtual arms race at this point, start storing up those sweat credits.

- For the races, change your profile name to have your category at the end.  For Example "Shaun Radley - A/B."  This will allow for racers to know who they are up against in terms of categories.

Results

The results will be posted HERE. I will be using the Zwift Companion App Race Results feature for overall results.  We will have a new team competition as well and the details are posted below.  Please read.
