Club spin Sunday 26th April 11.05am was created by BarryR
This Sunday, 26th April, our Zwift group spin at 11.05am will be Watopia's "Big Loop" circuit. This includes the long climb we did a couple of weeks ago but without the turn up to the tower, and including a new (for us) loop out to the jungle. It's the same circuit being used by round 5 of the CI league on Saturday morning, and described in detail by Luke in his post here .

I estimate this will take us 70 to 90 minutes. You can drop out during the ride if you're short of time but you can't join the ride after it has started. Please allow plenty of time to get set up and do a bit of warmup - don't get left behind!

All welcome, no matter what level of rider, and from Zwift first timers to hardened old hands. Zwift's "no-drop" function means the group will stay together no matter how hard you ride on the front or how easy you take it on the back. If you need help getting set up for Zwift look at recent posts here in the forum, or just post a question below. We're here to help.

Ride banter

We'll be using Discord to provide voice chat during the ride. The number of members using the Orwell Discord channel during rides and races is growing all the time, so if you haven't tried it yet give it a go this time. It adds hugely to your ride experience, and it's really easy - just install the software, create an account, and click on the link below.

If you've already joined the Orwell Discord channel then all you have to do is log in to Discord again before the ride. This is the same Discord channel that is used for the club races, so if you joined the voice channel for that then you only have to log in again..

If you haven't yet joined the Orwell Discord channel, then install the Discord app on your computer or phone, create an account for yourself, and then click on this link:

If there's a choice, select "open with Discord". If required, select "Join". Click on the Orwell yellow O icon. You are now in the Orwell Wheelers talk group, on the text-only channel.

To get to the voice channel, click on the menu icon (3-lines) if necessary, then under "Voice channels" click on "Group ride banter". If requested, grant Discord the permissions it needs to use your microphone and speakers.

Reconnect to the Discord channel before our ride starts by logging back in to Discord and selecting "Group ride banter" as above. There's no need to keep the Discord app displayed, it will work perfectly well in the background or with the screen off.

Headphones or earbuds + microphone are strongly recommended. You'll hear better, and others will hear you better.

Not on Whatsapp. Contact me on Signal app instead.
