You will need to use the Zwift Companion app to follow me so that I can add you to the ride if you are interested and have not already done so. Please make sure you are following me by 4PM on Tuesday so that I can have everybody on the invite that wants to ride. Make sure you are a few minutes early to the start since you can’t join a meetup late.

We will use the CVC discord voice server. See the link at the bottom of the announcement to join discord if you have not already. You need to download the app to your phone first and then hit the link. You then need to configure the set up to be “push to talk” which works like a walkie-talkie. Don’t be intimidated by it and give it a try. There are many YouTube videos to show you how to set it up. It’s great because we can all chat live throughout the ride. I find that I can run the Companion app and Discord at the same time from my phone, toggling back-and-forth ,and it works well. For those not using Discord I will still be texting throughout the ride on Zwift.

Everyone should change to the Basic 1 Jersey so we can keep track of each other. It is fairly easy to keep track of the leader as they have a beacon over their head, but the jersey makes it easier for us to keep track of you all. It’s the yellow and white one. Just go into your garage and switch over to that jersey for the ride prior to the start.

We will also be making use of the rubber band to keep everyone together, this makes it so that some riders who may not be able to keep up will be helped along as long as they keep peddling. But try to keep in the group and drafting as the draft makes a big difference.
