SBC on Zwift

The Spokane Bicycle Club is riding on Zwift. We offer our own group rides in our Zwift Club (Spokane Bicycle Club) from November through February.  Currently our ride schedule is as follows: Tuesdays 9:15am, Wednesdays 6:30pm, and Fridays 9:15am. The rides are in the 27-mile range and take from 1.5 - 2 hours depending on the route. You are able to join the rides up to 30 minutes late and you can quit during the ride at any time if you want a shorter ride. We use the "Keep Riders Together" feature which means as long as you pedal your bike, you will remain with the group regardless of how hard or easy you pedal. The routes for each day will vary from week to week. We also offer pick-up Zwift rides during the winter and during the regular outdoor cycling season when weather or smoke prevent us from getting out.

Zwift is an online, interactive training and racing platform. By pedaling on an indoor smart trainer and your bike, you send your avatar around a virtual course with realistic resistance similar to outdoor cycling. You can even draft other riders! By inputting your height, weight, and age into Zwift in combination with your smart trainer, you will feel the hills, the draft effects, and your real effort while cycling with other people from our club on our Club Rides and from all over the world on other rides

Zwift has 12 worlds with over 140 routes and within each you can navigate the roads as you go.

You can ride with thousands of others on Zwift. You can join group rides including The Spokane Bicycle Club Group, and races – and even get a draft from other riders – or just join one of the worlds and jump on with those riders when you want to. You can also do structured power-based workouts.

Zwift features a multitude of gamified elements that encourage you to ride longer and harder, with the goal of increasing your fitness. After all, Zwift’s catchphrase is ‘Fun is fast’.
