I am new to Zwift. How do I know what category I am in?  
The few rides that I have completed my average Watts is 85-90.  
Looking to join a race or ride but notice you must be in a “category”.  
Thanks

The category is your FTP in watt divided by your weight in kilogram.

Lets say your FTP = 152w and weight is 73kg.

then 152/73 = 2.08 w/kg

So it is lower than 2.5 so cat D
