Come and ride our CW5000 monthly Zwift events
Join other CW5000 riders and CW editor Simon Richardson for a lunchtime ride around one of the Zwift worlds on the last Friday of each month.
With so many CW5000'ers logging miles on Zwift we've decided to start a monthly event. The private rides will take place on the last Friday of every month. We'll change the world in which we ride each month, but always keep to relatively flat routes, and a pace of around 2.5 w/kg.
Where possible we'll tie the rides in to a monthly challenge, but in the main it's a chance to ride with others from the group, catch up on each others progress toward the total mileage and see how people are getting on with the monthly challenges. You'll be allowed to join late, and of course you can leave the ride any time you need to.

About the CW5000 May route
The May ride will be in France, on the Douce France route, and anti-clockwise ride around the upper section of Zwift's France map. The 0.4km Aqueduc KOM is the only climb of note on the predominantly flat route. There are three sprints in Douce France, the Ballon, Pavé and Marina sprints, spread out across the 24.1km route. Over that distance there is just 108m of elevation
