Need a bit of help getting your riding going in 2022? Look no further than our CW5000 weekly Zwift rides. Lead by editor Simon Richardson the one hour rides will be ridden at a manageable pace with the emphasis being on keeping the legs going through the winter.
The rides take place every Wednesday morning at 6.30am through January, February and March. They will be non-drop rides ridden on Watopia's Figure 8 circuit at a 2.0w/kg pace.
The rides are open to everyone so feel free to bring friends along if you need a little more encouragement.
