December 6th Routes – Rollercoaster Tour
This week’s races all feature rollercoaster sections of fast, twisting road. Hold on for dear life and pedal with all you’ve got!
| Race 1: Downtown Titans (6.804km, ends atop Titans Grove KOM Reverse) Start downtown and work our way up to Titans Grove, riding the uphill rollercoaster through the redwood tree and waving hello to Jarvis before attacking the Titans Grove KOM Reverse. Powerup: Feather |
| Race 2: LaGuardia Loop Reverse (1 lap, 5.3km) A quick lead-in followed by one short loop, this is a fast circuit with a bit of a rise just before the lap banner. Will anyone be brave enough to go long, or will it be left to a pack sprint? Powerup: Draft Boost |
| Race 3: Rooftop Rendezvous (1 lap, 6.7km) The pack will get stretched and snap up the Rooftop KOM, but it’s the descent afterward, and riders’ sense of timing, which will determine who crosses the finish line first. Powerup: Anvil |
| Race 4: London Loop (6km, ends in tunnel exiting Underground) The short climb up Northumberland Ave will stretch out the pack and some elastic will snap. Then we’ll dash past Big Ben and over the bridge into pell-mell chaos in the Underground finish! Powerup: Aero Boost |
What are the Tiny Races?
Our innovative Tiny Race format features four short back-to-back races within one hour. Each race is usually 4-7km long, so expect a big VO2 workout!
A single powerup is given as you start each race, and 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.

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.
