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/1539m
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
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 4 of the rotation so it’s a multi-lap Sprinter course as we head to Neokyo for nine laps of Sleepless City (86.1km/382m).
Introduced in Zwift’s November 2021 update, Sleepless City is the flattest route in Neokyo. We begin at the Neo Arcade, then head straight across town via the brightly-lit Holo Avenue to Neokyo Center then Castle Park.
Castle Park’s narrow brick road hosts a short sprint segment – you can choose to give it a go if your legs are feeling good, or just enjoy the serene city park.
Then it’s time for a ride along the harbour before turning inland along the canal. You’ll eventually make your way back to the Arcade by riding through the bright truck lights of The Overpass.
