Are there any rides or training for the 60 and older group! I am enjoying Zwift, but just can’t keep up! I have been riding for several years and competed in some Century rides, just getting a bit slower!
Hey Jeff,
There aren’t too many age specific events as most are based on FTP. Theoretically if your FTP is say 1.8w/kg it shouldn’t matter your age. However, when it comes to racing there is a masters series that do have a 60+ age category but be aware it’s tough.
If you are an older recreational rider I would just look for rides that are promoted to ride within your FTP and then don’t chase the front group. For me it is very disappointing when a ride is promoted as say 1.5-1.8 w/kg and then everyone takes off and does 3.0 w/kg leaving the leader to bring up the rear. Some rides are better than others so you just need to find ones that work for you.
I know I gave you a lot of personal info but I hope some of it helps.

Thanks for getting back to me! I’ll keep pedaling and enjoying the ride!
Glad to know I’m not the only one!
That information was very helpful! I am enjoying Zwift, but I do get passed by most all riders unless they have stopped!LOL
Take a look here:
Zwifthacks
It is a searchable list of all events on Zwift.
look for rides/events that suits your ftp.
I just found an event “ZER I’d Rather be Easy Riding with Ray (Est. Av. 1.2 - 1.5” that might suit you.
