WAS A GRAVEL BIKE THE RIGHT CALL? ZRacing Stage 3: Beach Party // Mech Isle Loop (B)

Having no hope of staying with the pack on the gravel climb, we go for a gravel bike to try and give me the advantage for my biggest weakness... CLIMBING. Welcome to the July ZRacing Monthly Series! Racing Score is here! Starting July 3, all Beach Party Monthy ZRacing Events will count towards your Racing Score progression. Jump into these races and see how your Racing Score changes. With events on all week at regular intervals throughout July, there are many opportunities to race again, to perfect and improve your score!

The temperature is rising, and it’s time to hit the beach! Join us for a Beach Party during July’s ZRacing Series. Stage 3 is revving up on July 17, featuring a heart-pumping 5 laps around the iconic Mech Isle Loop in Makuri Islands. This epic route offers a diverse terrain of pavement, dirt, sand, and wood, putting your skills to the test. Crush the island's main climb with blazing speed, then unleash the full throttle on the thrilling descent back to the shoreline.

WHAT IS CATEGORY ENFORCEMENT?
Category enforcement prevents Zwifters from entering a category they are not eligible for. Our goal is to increase fairness in racing. Find more information about it here.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Zwift checks a racer's past performance using VO2max, MAP value, and FTP to determine their race category. Racers can join a category at or above their category. For example, if you are in the "C" category, you can race in C, B, or A category. But you can’t race in the D category.
