NWCC Thursday Zwift Social

We roll every week at 7:30pm for a social ride that can be a workout by choice. We take a brief break during the Winter to run our Online Crit Series on Thursdays and resume the regular rides in March. You do not need to be a member of NWCC to join this ride. Rides are currently via meetup invitation, which means you have to be following the ride leader (Brent Neal) on Zwift. You can find him by searching for the username “Brent Neal – NWCC”. Add him on Zwift and then send him a message letting him know you’d like an invite for the week.

We ride with the rubber band on, meaning all riders stay together regardless of pace, power, or fitness. You can ride at ten Watts while someone else rides at eight hundred and the group will still stay together. You can also do structured workouts or free ride: it all works and you’ll still stay with the group.

Routes change each week. We also socialize on the NWCC Discord (a voice chat service) server. You can join that with this link: https://discord.gg/kcg8qGT (You’ll need to be in the NWCC voice channel to talk to others when we are riding.)
