September 27th Routes – Uphill Finishes
This week is for the w/kg powerhouses, as every race ends on a climb. And we’re not talking about quick uphill sprint finishes – each route ends in at least 2-3 minutes of climbing.
| Race 1: Temples and Towers (5.286km, end atop Rooftop KOM) Starting off pretty easy, this one ends on Neokyo’s Rooftop KOM which is very draftable, especially in the early portion. Powerup: Draft Boost |
| Race 2: Royal Pump Room 8 (6km, end on Otley Road climb) This one is a bit lumpy, as Yorkshire routes always are. Ride a quick loop of the short upper circuit, grab a powerup, then come back by the start pens and head up Otley Road for the drag to the finish. Powerup: Feather |
| Race 3: London Loop Reverse (3.43km, end partway up Fox Hill climb) The flat start takes you over Tower Bridge and through the Underground tunnel, then it’s up, up up to the finish line partway up Fox Hill. Powerup: Feather |
| Race 4: Sea to Tree (3.8km – 1 lap) Ending with our longest climb of the day, we’ll begin on asphalt then hit the dirt to ascend up the Temple KOM to the finish at the arch in the giant mystical tree. You’ll want a gravel rig for this one. Powerup: Steamroller |
What are the Tiny Races?

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! Three simple 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.)
- Smart trainer/smart bike or power meter required. ZPower/Virtual power is not allowed.
Enjoy the Cooldown
Immediately following each final race, you’ll be taken into a 10-minute cooldown where you can chat with fellow racers and spin out those legs.
