Zwift has a feature called Meetup for group rides. It does require some instructions. Note: I will need to follow you in Zwift before an invite can be sent.
I use Discord which is a free voice, video and text chat app for teens and adults. But it also can be used for training or workouts. It was created to bring people together through a love of gaming (why not virtual rides and training). Once there, they can join a chat they've been invited to or they can create private servers and invite their friends to play and discuss games by voice, text or video.
Anyone interested to join Zwifts group ride, send me an email to . The email should Include your Zwift account name e.g. Tom Gorman (SBRA).
Through Zwift I will send you an invite.
If you want to use Discord to join us even if you are not on Zwift, but instead some other platform. Use this link for my Discord channel: https://discord.gg/8aGCm5c. To test Discord I will have my channel open 30 minutes prior to the event.
If you have any questions, contact me at trgorman1@gmail.com or text/call 631-960-1035.
