Re: Tuesday 6:15pm -- Patterson Baptist Virtual Ride is ON!
For the folks that want to Zwift along with Mark I’ll be setting up a Zwift ride. To join the ride you will need to follow me on Zwift to get an invitation. I will be the ride leader. Look for me at the start. I’ll have a yellow beacon above my head. We will be using a flatter route on this ride. When you get the invitation on the companion app just click on the orange plus button to confirm. Be sure and do this well before start time. On Tuesday night log onto Zwift early. A few minutes before start time you should see a prompt on the lower left screen to join the ride. Click on this and you will be transported to the side of the road in the world where we are starting. You will find yourself sitting on a trainer. Start pedaling when you see the countdown clock getting close to zero. Don’t be intimidated by the speed of other riders. With the Keep Together function in Zwift it will speed up the slower riders and slow down the faster riders as long as you keep pedaling. This will be a social ride to try out all these new features. Feel free to sprint at the banners. It will just drag us slower riders along at a faster speed. If you need any help getting set up or have any questions feel free to contact me. If you want to do a short trial run before Tuesday I’ll set something up. Ride On!
Here’s the link for Monday’s 8pm Zoom trial run. I’d encourage everyone that wants to join the virtual ride on Tuesday to join me on this test run on Monday night. When setting up your Zoom account, please use an ID/Username that I’ll be able to recognize as you, or as an MBC rider. I’ll accept each participant separately to keep any ”Zoom-bombers” from crashing the party.
Everyone needs to join Zoom by 6:15pm. We’ll use 5 minutes to settle in and warm up, and then the Zwift ride starts at 6:20pm. Contact Vergle if you need an invitation to the Zwift ride.
Reminder... if you don’t want to Zwift, just join the Zoom meeting so we can see each other and talk, and you can do your own ride of any sort on your trainer.
