The Hotchillee Sprinters, Rouleurs and Climbers Sunday Endurance Series are a series of races for riders that fancy something a bit longer than the usual circa 1-hour race.
The route schedule is shown below and, as you can see, the events get progressively tougher but rotate between courses chosen to suit sprinters, puncheurs and climbers respectively.
Week 1: RGV (3 laps) 73.3km/321m
Week 2: Tire Bouchon (1 lap) 61km/431m
Week 3: Ven-Top (1 lap) 20.9km/1534m
Week 4: Sleepless City (9 laps) 87.4km/378m
Week 5: Big Foot Hills (1 lap) 67.5km/707m
Week 6: Quatch Quest (1 lap) 45.9km/1683m
Week 7: Volcano Circuit (25 laps) 104.9km/290m
Week 8: 2015 UCI Worlds (5 laps) 81.5km/710m
Week 9: The Pretzel (1 lap) 72.2km/1333m
You can choose to race or just complete it as an endurance training ride but, with double draft enabled, you should be able to find some wheels to work with and, if you get spat out of your category, there’ll be a slower one coming along behind to jump in with.
Categories are based on FTP w/kg not anticipated average for the event
A: 4.0 – 6.0 w/kg FTP
B: 3.2 – 3.9 w/kg FTP
C: 2.5-3.1 w/kg FTP
D < 2.4 w/kg FTP
Please don’t sandbag, enter your correct category.
It’s Week 2 of this rotation so, a Puncheur’s route, as we race Tire Bouchon.
Looking for a tour of France? Released with Zwift’s France map for the first-ever Virtual Tour de France, the Tire-Bouchon route is the longest on the map (along with Petit Boucle).
Its name translates to “corkscrew” in French, and that’s exactly what your ride may feel like as you cover all the France map’s roads in both directions (except for the road up Mont Ventoux).
