Zwift Virtual Group Ride
Text me if you want to join in and are not already invited to this ride: _631-960-1035_

Ride Description: 

My first virtual group ride this winter season. So bare with me if we run into any snags (fingers crossed).

This ride is setup as a 45 minute multi level group ride. Which means in theory, no matter what level you ride at, you should be able to keep up with the group. Of course you can drop off or continue riding after the 45 minutes.

The route is called "Casse-Pattees".  The French cyclists use the term “casse-pattes” (literally “leg-breaking”) to refer to particularly difficult parts of a ride, or roads that awkwardly change gradient and break a cyclist’s rhythm. Released with Zwift’s France map for the first-ever Virtual Tour de France, the Casse-Pattes route covers the large outer loop of the map in a clockwise direction. The first 12km is pan-flat with two timed sprint segments, but then that rhythm is broken up in the back half by two timed KOM climbs. 

Sunday forcast: Cloudy skies with periods of light rain later in the day. The 9am temps - 40 degrees. Winds ENE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 60%

We will be chatting during the ride using the FREE Discord voice app on the following channel (link below):
https://discord.com/invite/S6WacycxWB
THIS IS THE STANDARD SBRA GROUP CHANNEL
Note: You MUST use the link above if you are connecting to the Discord SBRA group for the FIRST time.

Discord Notes:
The Discord channel will be active 20-30 minutes prior to the ride start. This way you can test to make sure you are connected.

When you get to the Discord page, you will see a menu on the left labeled "VOICE CHANNELS."
Under this menu list click on "General" and you should see yourself listed there.
Click on you, then connect to voice.

Zwift Notes:
You can join the meetup ride 15 minutes prior to the start time.
Be careful not to join more than 15 minutes before the start as sometimes the app will time out and disconnect you from the ride.

Also do not delay joining either as you want to leave time for the "what ifs" as we all have found from time to time.
Fortunately, Zwift now allows for late starts but try not to rely on that.

Important: I need to follow you on Zwift before I can send you an invite. Search me on Zwift or send me your Zwift ID
