This is labeled as a group ride in the E (everyone?) category. The difficulty is rated 1w/kg-5w/kg. That’s a pretty wide range of difficulties. I don’t know that I can hang log on the high end of that but I guess if it gets too hard, I can always just end the workout.
When it’s E, 1-5w/kg, that just means there are no categories. It’s not a difficulty rating – it just means all riders will be starting together, and you can go at whatever pace you’d like. Some might go hard, some may not.
Thanks for the clarification I’ll give it a go.
And does it have rubber banding? Or if I will not be able to continue with group will I have to continue alone, so it will not be group ride anymore?
No rubber banding. Think of it as like any gran fondo or sportive event IRL – everyone starts together, some race off into the distance and you soon settle in and find a group around your fitness level. The trick is to not get stuck in no-man’s land between groups. If you are alone and cannot catch up with the group in front, check the mini map and ease off slightly until the next group catches you – just make sure that you then accelerate to latch on to that group as they will be going faster than you in that moment until you settle into their pace and benefit from the draft. You’ll soon settle into a group at your desired pace.
Thank you for answer. Now it is clear to me.
Are these Banded rides? I did one this morning, and there seemed to be about a 20% reduction in speed from what power would normally be. Even while running on flats.
Doesn’t look like they are, Daniel V.
Circling back on this, Daniel V – the rides so far HAVE been banded, due to an event misconfiguration. Zwift says they’re fixing it now.
Thanks
I’m here looking for Z Racing November – is this replacing Z Racing or something else is, or am I missing something?

The one I did this morning was a ‘custom workout’, which has the same effect as a banded ride. It’s nice for keeping everybody together, but you’ll get some complainers that it feels slow.
The events were misconfigured… Zwift is fixing them today.
