Nice that there is a women’s category. I’d like to see that category include all of us that can’t quite pull off the full event. In addition to many women that might struggle with the distances and time required for the full event, there are plenty of older people (and others) on Zwift that also can’t pull off the full event. Instead of creating a second tier just for women, how about the second tier also being made available for older cyclists or anyone simply wanting to make the effort but unable to pull off the full challenge. I do believe most people will challenge themselves, which is why we are on Zwift, but there are others besides women who physically can’t pull off an event that will challenge the younger, stronger folks.
That is what the ‘B-Group’ is for.
