rappstar and i were talking about this. the one we have now gets a pretty good turnout, maybe 80 or 90 riders? it's basically a group workout, a "rubber band" ride, that is, if you keep pedaling you can't get dropped. it's a stiff workout, but it's for all abilities, that is, it's gauged to your ability.
this ride takes place 4pm pacific time on tuesdays. i rode my second of these yesterday. my first was kind of disastrous for a number of self-inflicted reasons, which is fine, because zwift takes a few rides to get used to. you've got to spend a little time familiarizing, even tho we have a 6-part series which i assiduously followed on slowtwitch (i still refer back to it, and did today).
anyway, what we have going now is a great ride. i intend to be a regular. in my lead up to riding this ride, during the 2 times i've ridden it, i failed to variously: 1) join the ride; 2) find the ride after i joined it; 3) correctly ride it; 4) figure out how to text during it; 5) understand how to text by voice during it;
and so on. but no problem. yesterday's ride was great, lots of fun, great workout, glad i did it, will be back next week hell or high water.
the question is, do we need a second ride and, if so, what should it be? what and when? a harder ride? an easier ride? a conversational ride? a workout? a race? the distance? the format?
suggestions? (once i have some input, i may make this into a poll.)
