British Cycling South Christmas Charity LIZR Series. 

As we get to the end of the first round of the Zwift Racing
League and both look forward to Christmas and reflect on the year. I thought
that it would be a good idea to organise a short Local Interclub Zwift Racing
series to celebrate Christmas and raise a little bit of money for charity.

The ZWRL has been good fun, but I think lacked a bit of the
racing against one another that enjoyed so much in Lockdown 1.0.  So, this series will revert back to the original
format of selecting an event and then all of us turning up to race.  I will then publish the results.

To make things a little more interesting, the races will be
run as a stage race over 4 races. 

Dates

Monday 21^st – 6:15 to
7:00pm

Wednesday 23^rd  – 6:15 to 7:00pm

Monday 28^th  – 6:15 to 7:00pm

Wednesday 30^th  – 6:15 to 7:00pm

The dates have been selected to largely fall outside the
period when households can meet, so we should all be around.

Races (To be confirmed)

We are trying to get private events on Zwift – but if we can’t
organise our own races, then we will piggyback on other peoples.  I will announce the events as soon as I can.  As its Christmas we will try and go for
events from 25-40 mins long.

I will try and include a Crit Race, Rolling Circuit, Hilly
Race and a Race on the Tic Toc course where it all began back in March.

Entry

Keep the Zwiftpower tag as you were using for ZRL.  If you did not race in the ZRL then put your
club name in brackets after your name on Zwift power and maybe drop me a message
to say that your club is racing.

I think that we have all got a lot out of the Zwift racing
during this difficult year, it would be nice to put something back, so I have
set up just giving page for the Trussell Trust. 
The Trussell trust has foodbanks throughout the country and  over 20 in BC South region, so everyone can
support a local charity.  We have over
200 racers so at £5 each that will be over £1,000, please help me out.

GC

GC will be determined by the quickest time over the 4
events.

Bonus seconds for top 10 places.

We all have Zwift dropouts from time to time therefore if
you finish an event the maximum time you can loose will be 3minutes on GC for
that race.  If you can’t ride/ don’t
start then you will loose 5 minutes so at least you will have a position in GC
for the next race.

Prizes

73 Degrees Cycling and PDQ Coaching have agreed to give some
fun prizes away

• 1^st in each category for men and
  women.
• 13^th in each category for men and
  women (Zwift Categories are pretty arbitrary – the winners are only the riders
  closest to the category boundary – so why not 13^th?)
• Lantern Rouge – Last rider on GC.
• Best individual photo posted on facebook
• Best club photo posted on facebook.
• Best performance by a novice rider

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
AND SEE YOU OUT THERE

Last year, food banks in our network provided more than 1.6 million emergency food parcels to people in crisis. More than half a million of these went to children. It’s not right that people can’t afford the basics. With your help, we can help end the need for food banks.As a nation, we expect no one should be left hungry or destitute. Illness, disability, family breakdown or the loss of a job can happen to any of us. With your help #ThisCanChange
