A 'club' ride, whilst we're all mostly stuck at home, might be nice. Pacing might be difficult as the faster guys would be going too slow, and the slow guys might struggle to keep up so maybe need 2 groups? Unless the faster chaps are happy riding at the pace of the slowest rider which I'm guessing would be an average of about 2.8/3 w/g over a couple of hours
Ive been organising my clubs Virtual club run for the last 2 weekends.
It's pretty easy. If you check the Keep Together function when you organise a Meet Up you do just that, Keep Together. It seems to work regardless what you do. In a test run, I hit 7w/kg on a sprint with my mate sitting behind me doing 1.9w/kg!
There was over 20 of us this morning doing the 25.4 mile Triple Loops course in London. You get a bit stretched out, but there was never more than about 3-4 seconds between us and we were generally together as a group.
We all wore the same kit so we could see each other and we had a Discord channel running to make it more social. There was some good banter during the ride.
It took just under 90 minutes to complete.
The last 2 weeks it's also been a good workout for everyone. It's nothing like a race, but you can work as hard as you want. I've just advised everyone to ride it at a comfortable pace and it works!
It would be quite easy to set up a Cyclechat club run if enough people are interested and we can agree a course and how long we want to ride
