EVENT DESCRIPTION
If you’re looking for a solid group ride on Zwift, then you’ve found it. Come join a relatively laid back pace as we cruise around Watopia.

THIS IS A GROUP RIDE AND NOT A RACE. The goal is to stick around the yellow beacon and swell the peloton. Hence the name. We will start out relatively easy, right around 2.0 watts per kilogram. After five or ten minutes we will ramp the pace up and down staying within the stated ride pace of 2.0 - 2.4 watts per kilogram. Please don’t ride off the front because that is not the purpose of the ride. If you ride off the front and stay off the front please leave the ride.

As a reward for staying close to the beacon, we will be giving away a prize to the participant that does the best job of this. This will be determined by taking screen shots every five minutes of the ride, starting at 6:20pm EST and ending at 7:20pm EST. Points are assigned to the eight closest riders ahead of the beacon and to the eight closest riders behind the beacon. The closer you are, the more points you earn.

Results and additional information can be found on FB (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ZwiftWNYCNY/Opens a new window) and Strava (https://www.Strava.com/Clubs/ZwiftWNYCNYOpens a new window).

This weekly prizes are sponsored by the Western New York Bike Racing Club (www.WNYBRC.comOpens a new window). The prize will be mailed postage paid to the winner. If you win please email Zwift@WNYBRC.com to claim prize.
