Zwift’s Epic Race Series is known for its longer events, which many find especially welcome on weekends. Heading into April, organizer James Bailey has tweaked the series based on racer feedback. Key changes include:
- Mass Start (with categories): these races have always been mass start, to help give everyone someone to ride with. They still are, but riders will be signed up to racing score-based categories.
- Riders will be forced into the proper category (to counter some of the complaints about people racing up to reduce their racing score.)
- Each category will wear the same kit, so you can easily spot the riders you are racing against.
Apart from the changes above, series distinctives remain: races are around 50km in length, without powerups.
