And we’re back. The next batch of races in the Lamb Chop series is here.

Kicking off November 14, we’re bringing six more weeks of races that’ll push the limits of your endurance. Join the Black Sheep Cycling and AHDR Chop for six weeks of fast-paced action in a unique handicap format. What does that mean exactly? Well, a handicap race means people are grouped by skill and staggered, with slower riders taking off first. This gives everyone in every grade a chance to take the overall win. So get your racing strategy dialled and be precise with your PowerUps near the finish line.

The Lamb Chop Series also gets the full treatment with live commentary from Nathan Guerra on Zwift Live. His energy is more than a match for what you see on the tarmac.

"In the chop" is an Aussie expression you won't find in classic rulebooks. But you will hear it spoken and felt in the final kilometers of a race. When ride leaders purposely cooperate to bring everyone towards the finish, "Are we in the chop?" is on many minds. Riders will use every teamwork tactic they have to conserve energy. But once the last lap hits, it’s an all-out war for the win.
