Hosting Zwift rides

Sheri Rosenbaum
 

For the women of BBC, I've been hosting weekly women's rides virtually via Zwift if you'd like to join. We just need to be following each other in Zwift for me to invite you (my screen name is Sheri Rosie). It's my way to keep the women's group motivated and distracted for an hour or so. The course changes each week for variety.
  • Tuesday nights @ 6-710pm  - Banded together but you can go as hard or as easy as you wish

  • Friday nights @ 5:30-630pm - This is a Happy Hour and Trivia ride. Banded together like Tuesday night so go hard or easy. During the ride I ask Trivia questions and you respond via the Companion app messenger. We don't ask what's in your water bottle. It was a blast last Friday night and working on more trivia questions.

For those who are uneasy about hosting a Meetup in Zwift, it is easy. Below are some tips I gave my women and this article is helpful.
  1. Download the Zwift Companion App on your smartphone
  2. Accept the Meet up ride in advance AND before you log into Zwift to start your ride
  3. The day of the Zwift Meet up, start riding about 15 min before the scheduled start. You can do this in any world. Warm up your legs.
  4. 3-5 min before the scheduled Meetup, you will see a pop up to join the Meetup, just like it does when joining an event.
  5. Do NOT be late. Meet ups do not allow you to join after it starts. Only events let you join late
  6. My meet up rides have everyone banded together. This means you can pedal really hard or you can just do a very easy recovery ride. You just can't stop pedaling or you will get dropped.
  7. At the start of the ride your avatar will be on the side of the road on a stationary trainer until the Meet up begins
  8. During the meet up, everyone who is in our group will be highlighted in green along the right hand of your screen.
  9. To message other riders or the group during the Meetup, use your Companion App. You will see a Messages icon along the bottom of the app phone screen

If you have any questions happy to help.

Agree with others and unfortunately people are extremely overwhelmed and not thinking clearly. My good friend was accosted while talking a walk in her neighborhood this weekend for not staying home
So please be vigilant with whatever decision you make

I have been in my home for a week now trying to do my part, but like you all am dying to go on a nice outdoor ride thru the hills.

I have watched the YouTube link that Ron posted along with another one on the subject which both brought up the good points of not only the sweat or the snot rockets, but if there is a crash that involves us going to the hospital would not be a good thing.

The comment about how the bicyclist haters also brings up a good point, we don’t want to fuel the hate with seeing a big pack of us out there less than 6 feet apart.

 

I will most likely go on some careful solo rides and will try and setup some more Zwift Group rides until the Stay at Home order is lifted.

I don't have anything to share from a medical perspective, but strictly on the basis of social perceptions I urge that any group rides be very small and very low key. We all know that bicyclists are picked on (unfairly) in the best of times - for slowing traffic, for taking up space, for flouting the law. If bicyclists are seen congregating and riding in groups in apparent contradiction of stay-at-home orders, etc, we're only going to reinforce the worst perceptions of us. My two cents.

I have no issue riding with a normal size BBC group providing we be cautionary:

  1. No snot rockets
  2. If you need to cough or sneeze, pull out of the paceline.
  3. If you think you may be compromised.....just don't show up

no riding in Europe

I just looked at these articles about what has happened to running, riding  and training in Europe.
Important note (similar to Tina's comment) is to not get hurt which requires medical care if you crash/fall

Re: Group rides - input needed

Lena Chon
 

Dave,

Is it possible to reformat how we ride?

   So maybe we stay in pods of 2-4 people.  Let’s say 8 of us shows up to a ride, that’s 2-3 pods.  All of us are familiar with club routes, and if someone does not know the route, they better make sure someone in the pod knows the way. As long as we are within sight. It’s good.  And when we pull up at light or stop sign DON’T congregate. 

  In regards to spitting and blowing your nose... rather than pulling out to far left, the person needs to go to the end, then do there business. Just like rotating the pace line.  You CAN’T  come in mid pace line because any moisture droplets that lands on your body is still traveling and it could get blown on to the person that you just cut in front off.

Any individual who comes out to ride, they have to be well and no one in their household is sick with cold, and or Corona virus.

Trigger words...DISTANCE, if a fellow rider shouts this out, please be respectful and just check yourself. Don’t take it personal.

These options may not keep the group as tight like before.  The pace  may be a little less, may not. But we get to ride and see each other.

Missing you all,
Lena

Hi Everyone,
I think it's best to be cautious right now and obviously everyone should make their own choices
We can wait a few weeks to see each other's smiling faces.
Personally, I will ride solo as circumstance allows (which is not often) or with no more than 1 other rider kept at a distance.
The riding parties can commence when it's safe.

Stay well my friends

Anna

Jason Krueger
 

I’m with the isolators on this one.  My industry has been deemed “essential" and so I'll be out in the world for a couple more weeks at least.  I wouldn't want to risk exposing anyone I know to this, so I'll be in the basement on the trainer.  

Zwift group rides are a nice distraction, I vote we keep a few of those on the schedule just so we all stay in touch with each other, and have something to look forward to.

Hopefully not more than a few more weeks of this, and we can get back outside.

Hi BBC,
Thanks for the email Dave. I started thinking about this yesterday.

I have personally decided to not ride with a group until May 1st, then I will re-evaluate.  If something drastically changes, I will re-evaluate sooner. 

I don't want to be in a large group especially since Illinois has a shelter in place order. I don't want to be on the receiving end of an angry motorist who thinks we should be sheltering in place vs riding our bikes in a group.  And, heaven forbid, if a crash occurs, I don't want to over burden our 1st responders and health care workers at this time-they have enough on their plates. 

This is just my own strategy.  No judgement regarding others' choices. Until I change my mind I will be Zwifting. I'm sick of my basement but I'm trying to do my part. 

I miss everyone and hope we can salvage some of our outdoor season. Please stay safe and healthy.

Tina
Re: Group rides - input needed

Sheri Rosenbaum
 

BCLC, Elmhurst, Arlington and meet up cycling groups have suspended their rides. The USA Cycling issued a statement

Should you avoid riding in groups?

Yes. And, as of March 18, USA Cycling has recommended races and other gatherings, such as races and group rides be canceled or postponed and is suspending permits on all events through May 3. 

You can read the full press release in this article https://www.bicycling.com/news/a31469228/cycling-during-coronavirus/

Note that the medical community is still learning about this deadly virus on a daily basis. Recently they found the virus can stay suspended in air much longer than originally thought. My advice is not to ride in groups unless from the same household. Do solo rides and virtual rides instead. Even if you don't show symptoms, you can be a carrier and contagious. 

My two cents.

FW: Ride with Us on Zwift and Win Some Prizes!

Terri Brei
 

Hello BBC from Greenville, SC… thinking of you all in my hometown.  As you might guess, Hincapie is pretty big here and, in an effort to lend some fun to indoor riding, I’m forwarding the email I received last week.  If you’ve done one of his Gran Fondos, you’ve likely received the invite as well.  Thought some of you Zwifters might have fun with it, I haven’t tried it personally.

 

Be safe,

Terri Brei

Did Someone Say Prizes?

To make things a little more fun, we're throwing in some contests. Each week, we'll ask a trivia question during the ride. Answer that question on our Facebook page for a chance to win prizes from Honey Stinger, Road ID, Hincapie Sportswear, and other partners.

On Instagram, post a selfie on your trainer during one of the rides and tag @hincapiesports ,@honeystinger , and @roadid with hashtags #ridehincapie , #rideinside, and #sweetentheburn for a chance to win the same prize packs.

Each week we'll randomly choose a winner from Facebook and Instagram. These winners will also be invited to a virtual work out with George Hincapie himself!

No matter your age or your skill level, you are invited to join us for a ride. It’s sure to be a challenge, but also a lot of fun!

Zwift going though reorganization to grow

Ron Vargo
 

Hello fellow Zwifters, found this article today:

 

https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2020/03/zwift-lays-off-employees-in-move-to-focus-on-developing-new-hardware.html

 

Looks like Zwift is gong after the bigger companies here.  While they are strong they may be developing their own hardware to go after Peloton and others.

Dumb trainer needed

Sheri Rosenbaum
 

This group has been so awesome in donating items you no longer use to Dare2Tri. For this I’m so grateful. 

Does anyone have a dumb trainer collecting dust? The dad of one of the athletes is looking for a dumb trainer for his daughter’s hand cycle. If anyone has one collecting dust and would like to donate it to a good home, please email me. The dad will pick it up, no in person contact needed to keep everyone safe. 

Thanks
Sheri
