KISS Community Racing League - Who wants to be on a Team?
Races will be held on Thursdays. Each team picks the time they want to race from Americas: 5pm PST, Europe: 12pm PST, Pacific-Asia: 3am PST. YWe need at least 4 people per squad, and can have up to 8. Only 4 can race per race or your team gets DQd from the race.
Teams can have riders from any categories.
I will be racing the Pacific-Asia 3AM PST (6AM) Eastern time along with @Coach Patrick but we need more people to step up. Its just for fun and to get a hard WKO in so don't be intimidated. Even if you can't commit to all 10 weeks, just post here if you would like to be part of a squad.

ME!!!! 🖐🏻 Oh, wait... I'm already in! 🤣
If the guy above me ^^@Coach Patrick ^^ says it works for my training plan, I am in...
I would love to! I can adjust my calendar at work to come in later on Thursday. I understand if you guys get a couple of "A" riders, but if not, I would love to join in the fun!
suffering! It will be fun.
sort that out with him
I see that we have EN Squad in ZP. Are we officially in? I see KISS race Thursday morning is 4 laps Innsbruckring. There are also no categories.
There are no categories but there will be people from other cats on squads.
It's crazy they aren't more organized
This sounds awesome! Probably not going to work for me though with the time difference to the US; Unless we get an EN Euro team!
@Mark Roberts where in Europe are you located?
Bitburg, Deutschland. Its on the western edge of Germany about 45 min north of Luxembourg. 45 min South of Sankt Vith Belgium. Its the headquarters for Bitburger beer
I can probably be convinced to do Thursdays at 5AM CST (6AM EST). But pathetically I'm currently only at a B- or C+ category right now, but it's about time I work to change that. I'd probably be moderately useful on flat races and utterly useless on anything hilly. If there are any A's or Strong B's, you'd be better off putting them ahead of me on any roster in the near term.
Any update on this @Tim Sullivan ? I have been searching the internet and cannot find one.
It looks like they are trying to find away to categorize the races based off of skill level. This is the same issue CVR had, so I wonder if this will ever happen.
@John Withrow - You will be categorized as "Le Sandbagger" if you ever put a C after your name!
No update on this yet @Brian Hagan I would hope for an update next week
KISS community league starts next week. Anyone can race and accumulate points for your team. No more squads 👍

ok... It's everything bagel this week! That climb will hurt, but I am in!
@Tim Sullivan - for the uninitiated, what counts as a "race" only Kiss races? or others?
league race on Thursday at one of the times listed in the link. Most of us
are racing during the 6am time slot. This is what it looks like in the
Zwift companion app. Zwiftpower will place you in the appropriate category
After the race
After today’s fun, I wanted to give this thread a bump. If you are even slightly interested, I would strongly suggest you give it a go. Bonus points if you can the 6 AM EST race as we have a big group in that one.
Also, if you are hesitant because you don’t feel you’re fast or strong enough, don’t let that stop you. I am far from a strong rider and still scored points for the team (as well as getting a workout that nearly killed me!).
Come join the fun!
Just finding this. Looks like fun. But getting up godawful early once a week on Saturday is enough.
@robin sarner There are three different times to race. We just have a lot going at 6:00 EST. There is also 3:00 PM EST and 8:00 PM EST
@Brian HaganI'm In for Next Thursday. I am already on Zwiftpower as a member of Team EN. If I just register and race, will that automatically count for (or against) the team total?
Yes!
I'm down to earn points for the team. How do I make sure EN are getting the points. Thanks
@Justin Gray , are you affiliated with Team EN in Zwift Power? It sounds like that should do it!
@Tim Sullivan , thanks for setting this up! This sounds fun. I am going to try to get enough sleep this week that I can justify the insane wake-up time this Thursday. The thought of scoring points to help our team win is a little extra motivation to get up soo early (which is #SoHard for me). I would do the 3 pm, but I teach during that time slot on Thursdays. :(.
Let's get some more signed up to race Thursday! We are on discord and it will really push you
Great results today!!! Thanks to @Sabra Gonzalez @Jenn Edwards @Ralph Butler @Tim Sullivan @Donnacha Holmes @John Withrow @Derrek Sanks And all the others that crushed it out there!
Team Competition results for the Asia Pacific League where we are racing!
We still need racers! Wondering where @scott dinhofer is? Come join us. We have lots of fun and suffering 👍🦄
I remember several years ago when @JeremyBehler used to ride a bicycle? Somebody should tell him about Zwift...
