2024-25 Winter Virtual Cycling #1 (FulGaz session, but any virtual app can join) (Self-Paced)

This is the 1st ride in this year's set of winter virtual rides. The goal of the rides is to build strength and endurance so you can feel ready to tackle those big cycling goals in 2025 and to have some fun doing so. Our ride this week is La Cote des Megalithes in Carnac, Brittany, France.

We'll be using the FulGaz app, your smart trainer, and your bike to ride indoors in a set of group rides. Each week you can choose to ride a shorter/easier route or a longer/harder one; it's your choice. Consult the ride schedule for the week-by-week distances and elevations. No matter which option you choose, we will all be socially connected through our Discord session. Please email me to obtain the Discord server link.

If you want to ride using another app on your own route or workout, feel free to join us in a group chat using Discord. 

I plan to host these rides on Sundays through February. Each week you'll have a choice of both a long and short ride and you can join others by using the Discord app. Both Christmas and New Year’s Day are mid-week this year so we’ll meet on those weeks. The start location is wherever you have your bike and smart trainer!

For additional information regarding this ride or if you have any questions about virtual riding or FulGaz, please email me so I can provide extra material, if desired. I recommend you get your FulGaz subscription going so you can familiarize yourself with the app. 

Be sure to boot-up FulGaz ahead of the start time. Do any warm-up you desire and download the ride video. Open the series Discord Channel if you want to participate in the social side of the ride. I will be available to answer questions starting at 9:15 on the Discord server before the ride start. The group ride will start at 9:30AM on ride day and you should be ready to ride then.

Note that the distance and elevation listed here are for the 'longer' option, as listed in the ride schedule download. I will be riding the longer option but you may choose to ride the shorter option. 

I look forward to riding with you through the winter!
