Last winter when I was using Zwift I felt like there was always 2 or 3 races going on for me to choose from when I went to go use Zwift. Now when I get up in the morning to do my ride, there are not races to choose from. Sometimes there is one. I have all of the filters off and the time I am looking for is around 6AM US Mountain time. Am I just looking at a bad time or have there been less races created than what there were last year

I can see a race tomorrow at 6:10am MST and another at 6:40am MST. Can you see those? If not, try the button to reset your filters in Companion (even though no filters may be showing) - sometimes this does seem to go weird.
Less races than last year.
It is an unpopular race time. The racing schedule purge removed low attendance events. This means you have few options, mostly just the ZRacing “filler” events. I also like to race at a relatively unpopular time. Now I just don’t race much anymore since those changes. I’d be happy to race 5-10 people in a more interesting race, but that option doesn’t exist anymore.
Because that time tomorrow would directly compete with the James and Eric pizza ride?
In general, I would think though this time would be somewhat popular – it’s prework-day (for 9-5ers) in most of the US, and lunchtime in GMT.
There’s no conflict between group rides and races in terms of scheduling, so the only effect would be if people chose to do the group ride instead of a race at that time, which could result in a race being cut due to low attendance. Whatever people choose to do instead of joining a race could result in the race start time going away.
