November 9th Routes: Hitting the BRAEks
This week’s races are all held on Scotland’s newest route, BRAEk-fast Crits and Grits. Each race is longer than the one before, the Sgurr climb comes early in each and every race, and a different powerup is strategically featured in each race.
Congrats to PERC Coffee prize winner Rob Collins, who won the free bag of beans for November 9’s races. Email [email protected] to claim them!
| Race 1: BRAEk-fast Crits and Grits (2.201km, ends at rock arch on Sgurr descent) You can hammer up the Sgurr, but can you keep your speed up on the descent that follows? This fast finish happens right in the middle of the dusty descent. Powerup: Anvil (2x) |
| Race 2: BRAEk-fast Crits and Grits (3.4, ends on straightaway after roundabout) Climb and descend the Sgurr, then turn to head towards Glasgow. This finish is at the top of the draggy, arrow-straight road following the mystical roundabout. Powerup: Draft Boost (2x) |
| Race 3: BRAEk-fast Crits and Grits (4.321km, ends at Clyde Kicker arch) Up and over the Sgurr once more, then make your way into Glasgow. This race ends at the Clyde Kicker arch, so punchy w/kg and smart powerup usage will be crucial. Powerup: Feather (2x) |
| Race 4: BRAEk-fast Crits and Grits (5.951km, ends at Champions Sprint arch) One last time over the Sgurr on tired legs, then through Glasgow’s streets to end on the iconic Champions Sprint. You’ve got three aero boost powerups… how can you use them for maximum effect? Powerup: Aero Boost (3x) |
What are the Tiny Races?
Our innovative Tiny Race format uses four short back-to-back races within one hour. Each race is usually 4-7km long, so expect a big VO2 workout!
You earn points based on your finishing position in each race. The overall win goes to whoever earns the most points across all four races.

FRESH TINY VIDS
ZwiftPower Results
Zwift displays the finish order in game when you cross the line, but points are computed after all four races are finished, with final results on ZwiftPower. (We have to do some data processing on our side to compute results, so if your rankings don’t show up right away, be patient.)
Riders earn points based on finish position in each of the 4 Tiny Races. The category winner of each week is the rider with the most points across their zone’s 4 races. Here are the links for each zone’s latest results on ZwiftPower:
Rules
Tiny Race rules are simple, but still every week ~10% of our racers get disqualified. Don’t let that be you! Four races, four rules:
- You must have a ZwiftPower account, because final results are processed by ZwiftPower (learn how to sign up)
- No skipping then returning. These races are meant to be raced as a set of 4. If you need to leave early, that’s fine… but once you miss a race in your hour’s set of 4, don’t come back and race another or you’ll be disqualified from that race since you rested while others were racing! (Example: racing only races 1 and 2 is fine. Racing 1, 2, and 4 is not – you will be DQ from race 4.)
- Heart rate monitors are required.
- Smart trainer/smart bike or power meter required. ZPower/Virtual power is not allowed.
Join a Chat & Chill Cooldown
Immediately following each hour’s racing we’ve scheduled 30-minute “Chat & Chill” events where riders from all categories can spin their legs together and chat about how it all went down. Find them at zwift.com/events/tag/tinyraces.
