Welcome to our ZZRC Happy Hour 2.4-2.8wkg. This is a group ride, not a race, where we encourage riding together.

In 2015 ZZRC was founded and are one of the oldest established clubs on Zwift .

YELLOW BEACON will pace between 2.4-2.8 on the ride , with a possible increase of watts on inclines or sprints , but the average for the whole ride will be as advertised.

We strongly promote group riding so on most of our rides we will use the Fence to help encourage that. Using a fence ensures that the ride is not over paced .

In the event of falling off the back of the main group , you will need to pace well over group pace to bridge the gap and catch .

This is where our awesome ZZRC sweeps and Ride Buddies will help you return to group using their draft. They will give you clear encouraging instructions to aid this process .

Our crew are a caring bunch who dedicated a lot of hours to this club , but want you to have the best ride experience on Zwift

You will be fully supported and encouraged throughout the ride by the Leader, Sweeps and Ride Buddies .

Our rides do not allow the use of TT Bikes as they do not draft and will require you to push harder on the ride, and in these instances our Sweeps will not be able to help you .

Mountain bikes operate very similarly, minimum draft so more watts (effort) will be required for the ride and any chase backs to group .

All our rides have a 30 minute late join feature which allows you to rejoin if you have technical issues or you find yourself out of the group in the early stages of the ride. Using this feature SHOULD teleport you back into the main group with our YELLOW BEACON .

Double Draft is used on this ride

TOP TIPS

1) Stay close to the ride leader (or just in front on climbs), don’t let a gap form and the elastic snap!

2) Stay away from the Fence – We don’t like to fry anyone

3) Most important of all . . . HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE RIDE.
