EVENT DESCRIPTION
Welcome to our weekly Thursday group ride brought to you by CyclingTips. This is a fun social group ride with the aim of enjoying riding in the bunch and having a bit of banter all with a touch of (optional) friendly competition.

Come along and ride with the crew where our ride leader will set a pace of around 2.5w/kg after a slower warmup. To keep things interesting, we offer optional opportunities for a sprint each lap followed by a regroup and then an optional 5 minute race to finish the ride.

Our course varies each week and most weeks will be a flat route to help keep the bunch together. Each ride will have a sweeper with a few other riders who are available to help any riders come back to the group.

This is a social group ride not a race, so please respect the pace set by the ride leader. Please make sure you aren’t riding the Zwift TT bike as these don’t get the draft effect when riding with the group.

Remember when you approach hills and inclines along the way to stick together to enjoy the draft and companionship. The ride leader will not exceed the advertised pace at any time - even on hills. Please keep an eye on the leader beacon (yellow) and the sweeper beacon (red) to stay in the blob.

So turn on your graph (press G on computer keyboard or select it from on-screen menu in iOS and Android) and paint it blue. Give the body a good foundation for Zwift racing.
