Sunday Ride - Zwift Makuri Islands - Kappa Quest

Sunday Ride - Zwift Makuri Islands - Kappa Quest 

Hi everyone. Given lockdown and a truly awful weather forecast I have assumed that everyone that is able will be riding indoors. I have sent a meetup for an indoor ride on Zwift (Makuri Islands - Kappa Quest) to those that follow me on Zwift. Its a 10 km loop and I have set it for an hour. If you want to formally join the meetup please follow me (Aldo Macolino) on Zwift  today and I will add you. If not you can do your own thing and join the Discord channel below for a chat.

The BGCC Discord server is live. Please use https://discord.gg/5MwFPsr to join

Discord is available in the App Store, Play Store and at www.discord.com. remember to join the channel well in advance.

COVID Lockdown!!!!

 Hi everyone. No surprises what this post is about. The BG ride for Sunday is cancelled as a result of Covid restrictions. With the weather forecast for Sunday it was looking dodgy anyway. If anyone is interested I can schedule a indoor ride for Sunday and send out the BG discord channel for chatting.

Sorry about the late post. I was waiting to see what the weather might do given we got 46mm of rain on Thursday. I also had my Covid jab today that soaked up the afternoon. If your booked in for the Jab my advice is to get there a little bit early to do the paperwork and be prepared to hear every conspiracy theory when you tell people. Well hopefully my 5G reception will improve. 

Anyway

Meet in the City at 8:00am

Sunday Ride - Anything Can Happen - Beachy Hills

Meet in the City at 8:00 am

Part One - Beachy

Afternoon Rides and Numbers

After soliciting feedback about number there is support for an afternoon ride. The admin group hasn't had time to discuss this. Leave it with me. 

I think we have agreement is that we are stuck in middle and as such don't completely suit either the fast guys who want a harder ride and suit those that are less fit and need a more moderate pace.  The issue is what we want to do, if anything, about it.
