The Sat PM Endurance Race that makes up our Team CLS Winter Race Series with points awarded for Race Wins, Sprints and KOM’s in each CAT and prizes at the end of the season.

When selecting the event choose the CAT that suits you and please use the TAG - (CLS) followed by your CAT after your surname to take full advantage of post ride results and enable the group to identify each other. We strongly recommend a 15 to 20 mins pre-ride minimum warm up to help you perform at your best and minimise any risk of injury etc. etc. After the event riders outperforming their CAT by a reasonable amount may see their CAT adjusted in the interests of all. The organisers decision is final on this.

POWER Ups - Allowed.

BIKES - Your Choice.

KIT – Allocated when you enter the PEN, colour matched to your CAT

Use your FTP and then divide by your weight in kg then pick the correct TAG.

A: 4.0 W/kg FTP or higher – Use Tag (CLS A)
B: 3.2 W/kg to 3.99 W/kg FTP – Use Tag (CLS B)
C: 2.5 W/kg to 3.19 W/kg FTP – Use Tag (CLS C)

PLEASE NOTE: Strava data for CLS races must be open (not private or hidden). Riders producing over 5w/kg average will be DQd. They can be reinstated if real life matching performances can be provided. Heart Rate Monitor required for CAT A and B racers. Also make sure your Strava name matches your Zwift Power name. Any people putting in performance above their CAT may have their CAT moved by the organiser.

For your information when we are not in our RACE WEEK, we run B and C CAT events that leave the pen at the same time both with leaders on Tues and Thurs. Our midweek workouts set off at 18:50 GMT, It’s a CLIMBING and TEMPO session on Tuesday and an INTERVAL one on Thursdays. On Saturday, we have the High C CAT Social ENDURANCE rides of approximately 50 miles that set off at 08:30 and 14:45 on varied courses, they last about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Feel free to join those and peel off early if you have other commitments. Then finally we have a D CAT RECOVERY event on Sunday again at 18:50 GMT where we all ride together Chilling ‘n’ Spinning. The Tuesday and Thursday events are great workout sessions that will improve your fitness.

We run a Team Facebook Group, which we encourage people to follow for news and other group ride info and events. It is also a great place to ask any questions you may have about Zwift and we will do our best to answer them for you. We have tried to put together a FULL weekly package that will allow riders to both enjoy their indoor sessions and back that up with some great workouts that will improve your fitness. Culminating each month with some fun but always competitive races. Our Rides are entertaining throughout, and we have some fantastic regulars on every ride, so what are you waiting for, come and join us.
