Looks like it's going to be pretty rough outdoors for a while with lows in the 20s. Sundays 9a as a recurring ride?
I'm down for it.
I mean, "Duluth" was named that because it's easy to say when your lips are frozen and can't move.

Alrighty, I'll see if I can set up a KCC recurring ride on Zwift.
Can't find a recurring feature, but here's the one for this Sunday, Dec 14th, 9AM:

Kissena CC Chill vibes on Chilly Sundays:
https://www.zwift.com/events/view/5269292
  • 1 lap of Tides and Temples in Watopia
  • Late join allowed (up to 30 mins)
  • No "rubberbanding" feature so we ride together or it ends up being ITT for all of us
  • Z2 (for realsies Z2) because I'm the ride leader with 8 weeks of sitting on the couch legs.
Event is restricted to club members on Zwift so make sure you put in your request:

What, you don't want to do virtual laps in prospect?!

Too triggering.
Are we going to chat via something like Slack or Discord? Or just message each other about how good we all look in the Zwift companion app?
Zoom?
Chat via text or VC? Down either way.

Good times today! Nice to see some familiar faces :)
Weekend looks "okay" but happy to set up another one for this Sat or Sun!

We should decide ahead of time which race we're all watching while riding!

Yep I created one in advance but the weather here looks alright. Happy to make you ride leader as I'm prob going to be riding outside.
No need. I've got a plenty big backlog of movies to catch up on. Y'all keep the rubber side down out there!
Tomorrow, Sunday, Dec 28th. 9AM EST - Join us on Zwift:

Anyone with the link should be able to join, Kissena members or not. Picked a relatevely new route, so most of us will get a route badge. Stupid EASY pace. 

See you there, cheers!

Tomorrow morning, 9am, Sunday Jan 18,

Long badge hunting ride on uber pretzel route. Keeping it mostly chill but if you do get some dogs in remember to soft pedal it at the top of a climb for others to catch up. 

I have it set as anyone can join to make things easier if you're not a KCC member yet on Zwift.

Another rough weekend out there. Bless any of you heading outdoors in the single digit cold and snow.

Planning to set up another virtual Sunday group ride - any preference on routes?

PRL Full.
Greg, I'm beginning to think you enjoy a certain type of riding...

For anyone not familiar this is one of those badges nobody wants to get because it is 11 loops of the London climb. Should take upwards of 5hrs. There are Reddit threads dedicated to this course.

I set the start time to 8am so we're not riding deep into the afternoon. Can join late up to 30mins and open to any insane person outside of the club as well in case you want to invite the masochists in your life.

Is there a video chat as well are we texting for 5 hours? Lol
Honestly if you're thinking joining, cue up a few movies or a long tv series or podcasts!
I thought my sarcasm came through....

Idk if I'll make it.
If we move the meet up to 9 I can join, not for PRL full but I'm good for 2hrs or so. 
Sorry Ryan Zwift wouldn't allow for changes to a rode within an hour of the event.

Rode solo and stayed relatively strong for half then started falling apart for another hour and then completely lost it for the last 2 hours. The mind was willing but the body was weak. Went through approx 5 bottles with mix and one plain water to choke down food (which I didn't eat enough). Good prep for the Super Bowl ride if the weather cooperates and the roads are clear enough, and of course for LA training camp!
Sorry boys the 7am start combined with lack of sleep put the final nails in my coffin.
How was Zwifting today?

I'm not on Zwift this winter, but Rouvy, figuring I should mix it up from year-to-year, and not really loving Zwift.

I won't say its lonely, but I don't get to chat about system SNAFUs in the same way.
