I’m new to Zwift and tried the training plan but found it pretty boring. All this watching the power meter and cadence etc isn’t what i’m after really.
So, tried a few races and that’s more like it!
But: I’m 71 with an FTP of 105 so keep coming last - or occasionally beating someone who is having a bad day! Are there any classes for people like me? Not looking to win, just mix it a little…
Greetings and welcome. Not sure if there’s special category but you could try some races aimed at beginning Cat D races like the Herd ones on Saturdays. They’re are a few times slots on Saturdays. The one below is at 7 am EST but there are others. Happy racing!

You might try “racing” some leaderless group rides with a big field, like the Tour de Zwift, BMTR Fundo, BMTR Mini-Fundo. There are riders of all abilities in those events, but you probably won’t ride alone. Also look for the “Masters SA” races which have age categories - read the event description for details of how it works. Masters SA - The at Home Cycling & Running Virtual Training App
Here’s a masters race with aged based categories coming up on Saturday. The E group is for over 70s and has five people signed up so far.

Hi,
I am not looking for a „slow“ Race, but for a „Beginners“ Serie, where I have regular races (ones a week or so) with a distance of 30 - 45 kilometers. Should be open for cat C and also cyclists without any Teams. Is there such a Serie at Zwift?
I don’t know about beginner series in C category. But using this link you can find races in your time slot, most races are the same time every week, and you start to know the regulars.
