EVENT DESCRIPTION
Le Gruppetto, sometimes referred to as "the laughing group", is the name given to the group of cyclists in a road cycling race who form a large group behind the leading peloton.The mood in the Le Gruppetto has a greater sense of camaraderie than in the main peloton.

POLITE NOTICE - this is not a race! If you want to race there are lots of other very well organised events you can access on Zwift.

Le Gruppetto ride is designed to fall between a recovery ride and a medium paced effort. Your ride leader will aim to ride at the allotted pace for the majority of the session. If any riders do exceed the prescribed pace please let them go (especially at the start) and stick with your ride leader.

Velo One Cycling Team invites you to joy us each week for a (relatively) relaxed ride around the Zwift worlds of London, Watopia or Richmond where you'll receive a warm Lincolnshire welcome.

Ride duration will be roughly one hour over courses mixing flat sections with some climbing and ride distances of c30-32km.

There will be two groups for the ride. The first group will aim to ride in the 2.0-2.5 w/kg range with slightly higher efforts on any climbs. The second group will depart 5 minutes after the first and will aim to maintain a slightly higher 2.5-3 w/kg effort.
