Watopia Wednesday Ride
Setting up the first Zwift Group ride for Wednesday at 6:30 pm
- If you don't know what this is you may need a little more time to set up. In short Zwift has 2 virtual road coarses you can ride with a trainer. For more info check out: http://zwift.com/ - Give a holler if you have questions.

- Wednesday 1/20 at 6:30 pm
- Coarse Watopia * Choose the Figure Eight
- Add (EBCC) to your name so your easily recognized - Log out and back in after doing so - I hear if you do this while others are already logged in they may not see it - do it the night before if possible
- Communications: Setup TeamSpeak and use a pair of headphones with a mic if possible. Channel - scroll dow to United states Team 9 (not sure how these work but it looks free now)
- Meeting place - Start/Finish make sense to me (no dumpster yet- I'm sure it's a priority)
- Pace - Friendly - lets stay together
- Kit - while in game press 'P' and then enter the promo code: GOBATTENKILL2015 this will help distinguish each other from everyone else
Let's see how this works. I know power can be quite a bit off between setups so this is an experiment. Those using resistance may dart ahead at the start of a climb if you keep your cadence up prior to shifting and vice/versa as it flattens out. We can always regroup at the top.
Thanks for setting up Mike. I'll try to join you on the ride but probably won't make the start. You're doing the hills course?
Change of plans. I can't make it tonight. Maybe next week if we make it a regular thing.
Added a kit so we can see each other easily:

BTW: Read the top post for all the info you'll need like which route to pick before entering the coarse
Mike,
I anticipate being at the Start Line to see how this goes, if my computer decides to load the program. Already got a ride in today so don't know how long I'll ride, but want to see how it works. I believe I've found the Figure 8 course, getting the right kit will be a challenge, and the live chat is well beyond my and my old laptop's capabilities. Again, don't wait for me, either at the start if I'm not there, or on the ride as don't know how long I'll ride.
Thanks, Walt
Great Walt. See you there. The kit is easy type 'p' once in and then put the code in the box. Either way it doesn't matter.
Im in no microphone for me but should hear what everyone is saying
This is kinda freaky. Did you guys all take the blue pill?
This looks really fun, even though it is beyond my simple electronic capabilities.
Greg you will need a camera too. We would not want to miss you falling off the trainer. Makes great YouTube content
