Zwift Group Ride Etiquette // Bunch Riding Tips

[@karlhandley9375]

New to cycling, just bought a Wahoo Kickr Core. Loving the enthusiasm of people like Shaun, like GCN channels. Really getting me excited to 1) Race on Zwift and 2) Get outdoors and enjoy the world.

[@Mosely2007]

Like this video. I use Zwift but as. 70 yr old .figuring this out was difficult . You explained it I. An easy to understand way. Thanks👍

[@hughmoore2]

No wonder I cant ride in a group, I was looking for the bacon, not the be beacon! :)

[@terencejohnson8450]

lol

[@nealm6764]

Hahahahahahha! I like how your Zwift self has a full, luxurious mane of hair! Ride on!

[@stephenmoon2767]

Nice demonstration of how much being in the draft means, plus good overview of etiquette for a group ride, wish I'd known that before I joined my 1st one, mind you, loving the PACK rides over in Europe. Another quality vid from the Llama!! Keep um coming!!

[@stephenbailie2086]

Pack is a brilliant group.

[@AG17_1]

As someone that acts as a sweeper for some group rides I'd also add that communication, e.g. If you are dropping out or need a wheel, is very helpful. In a disorganised group sweeping is a very good interval workout!

[@myersjx]

Thank you for posting. I ride alone regularly,but have always wondered about group rides. I alway see the calling out the beacon and sweeper, but never see them as they pass. Great video!! Ride on! Jason

[@AaronGale85]

I did this for the first time tonight. Only my second ride on zwift. I got dropped just before doing the 3rd lap. I was hurting 😭😭😭

[@jamegumm]

He's saying Bee-con, not bacon

[@reynaldogarcia3799]

I have never done anything but ride alone. Mostly ride alone IRL too, but will be up at 1AM Pacific for my first one next week.

[@TrainDriverRob]

Rode with Tim this morning on an Academy ride, he does his best to keep order to be fair to him. Now and again I drop back to lose the rubber band effect to bring the heart rate right up and make it more of an effort.

[@LeelooMinai]

My first thought when the video started was "damn, this software has excellent face-feature rendering engine".

[@geoffdiamond2532]

Great summary of the AHDR GPL. The AHDR is, in my opinion the best fun on Zwift (but currently clashes with my track session boo hoo) Easy to join, you can do it hard or controlled Tim et al do a great job ! I started as a virtual ride sceptic but this ride changed everything for me.

[@rudyspring2528]

Thanks so much for this! Very educational. I look forward to my first ever group ride in a couple of days.

[@captain1664]

Very useful, thanks Lama

[@layrdolliff6460]

You sir are my Zwift goal. I hope to be as strong as you someday.

[@GoonieGooGoo910]

bunch ride catch up, i've done it. it's a world of hurt and it usually happens when I'm texting someone and not pay attention to the ride. Get on it! Also, the flyers, could fall back and do VO2Max intervals and stay behind the beacon, but I guess it's more fun to drop the beacon for some folks. Drop back, catch up, drop back, catch up, that's a really hard workout.

[@1968davidlynch]

I don't believe that, I have been on Zwift since the beta testing days and I've only just learned the "A" key hack. The amount of times I've waited for the avatar to come to stop on gentle slope, I have even started only ending up hill it has driven me crazy......until now Lol

[@mcone1959]

I am new to Zwift and have been disappointed that this feature does not exist. But now I see that it does.

[@migferreira]

Hey Shane. I was thinking that you do a video for Zwift bunch riding etiquete to identify "no-go's" that riders often do on group rides. I'm referring to things like riding away from the group at 4W when the leader states 2W, riders who don't enter the events and then hijack the wheels to sit on, guys that back off for no reason and let you fall out of the draft, etc. Many riders do these things without understanding that they can frustrate you, so this may help newbies and those that learnt the wrong habits.

[@gplama]

This is what this video was about.

[@primersdime]

You guys take the zwift group rides way too serious. I turned my chat off just so I don't have to see all the group riders whining the entire time.

[@kiely4561]

Yeah it did make me chuckle when reading the words zwift ride etiquette lol

[@bobbysilver272]

The HDR is one of the better group rides. In some group rides, sometimes the pace is just too slow even though they advertise otherwise. This probably encourages some to push off the front.

[@stevescott5469]

Impressed you could still talk

[@ronbell7920]

Thanks Shane! I am new to Zwift, and I am having trouble in not overshooting the bunch when I want to get in the draft. Do you have any suggestions?

[@davidhenner5067]

I've found the beacon always going harder than the indicated pace. I wanted these rides for recovery rides at 1.5W/Kg. The Beacon will always tend to ride at 1.7 or sometimes higher. Hence now I do recovery rides on my own.

[@6Shine6down6]

I do this in real life every week with 15-40 people, sometimes it's hard to see if everyone if following me or not + red lights :') ! Looking forward on trying these group rides on Zwift when I will have my trainer :)

[@vincez460]

Great video, Shane!

[@gavinhanna]

Shane your videos are excellent thanks for doing them very interesting!

[@NewEnglandDirtRoadie]

omg, rule #1 of any group ride: DO NOT HALF-WHEEL THE GUY IN FRONT OF YOU!!! what a cluster-fudge... NO CROSSING THE DOUBLE-YELLOW!!! never riding with this knucklehead group serious question though, would the feedback omnium, the favero uno, and a rear speed sensor be sufficient to do this? or does zwift require a smart trainer?

[@gplama]

No speed sensor required if you have a power meter on the bike. Zwift will use that to calculate your in-game speed.

[@snafujag100]

How come so many riders in front of beacon? Last g ride I did it ended with 99% of riders ahead of beacon🤷🏼‍♂️

[@richmurphy8337]

Love your stuff.. first port of call with my coffee. Keep it up! Thanks.

[@terryb392]

I've found even rides prescribed at 1.5 watts /kilo when in the bunch with beacon need to ride at 2 watts plus to keep up, not particularly ideal if you want a recovery ride

[@jayshockey5461]

Shane you are awesome! Love all your videos! Keep up the great work!👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@davidwargin1766]

I agree w/ the first tip about staying with the beacon. Interestingly, the other evening the Leader decided to show his wattage ability and hammered in the last 6-7 KM of a "group" ride (not a race) -- leaving many in the dust. He went against the avg pace. Not cool!

[@coachrobwille4176]

I have a question in this group ride is there anything you can do to screw up someones ride ? I want to get this set up but I am scared as I don`t want to piss anyone off. I real life I have never been in a group. Trying to get back into triathlons. Thanks

[@gplama]

Not following the ride leader direction.

[@coachrobwille4176]

Thanks is there anyway though you can cause a crash if you are not careful enough ?

[@gplama]

[@fabrice6847]

Hey, I will do my first ever group ride in 2 days, but when I am gonna sign up it says ... watts/kilos, is that the effort that will be maintained during the ride or the FTP needed to do it? Thanks if you answer before the ride!

[@gplama]

W/kg during the ride

[@gastondaglio]

Sorry the stupid question; im recently buy a tacx Fluix ...but i dont know if i need t urn off the power after use it ...(sorry bad english)

[@Fidasaind]

Tim is someone that the ZA-DD group keeps recommending for ZA group rides. A shame he's down in Australia. I wonder how much coffee I'd have to bribe him with to do one at 6pm MST

A great educational vid Shane. Succinct coverage of the Dangerzone! Great work.

[@johnsimworld3926]

i start my zwift run to day hope go will

[@OhShunz]

Looks fun!

[@UnboxRacing]

In 2022, keeping with the Beacon appears to be an issue for almost half the folks on each ride. Some people just f off at 4-5 w/kg and race or flex on a D fun ride. I don't understand why. Sometimes there is a red fence to try and stop this but you get Muppets complaining. Seems etiquette is difficult for some.

[@jhowardgreenthumb]

Would be cool if you could get a vr headset and ride on zwift. That way you could look around in first person view.

[@gplama]

Hi Shane, thx for watching my stream last friday on twitch. i have the problem, that my kickr is very loud. i noticed your roller is hardly noticable in this stream. what mic are you using?

[@gplama]

What model Kickr do you have? The latest generation ones are virtually silent. The mic is a Blue Yeti and I'm using a noise gate filter within OBS.

[@snakeface5652]

Probably also best to have some rest before doing one of these - perhaps not have 3 days in a row of riding as well as a lot of walking before one like I had.

[@DreTheChronic]

I've just bought a spin bike (not trainer) and I cannot get above 110w and like 17mph... is that because my spin bike doesn't record resistance well or can I bet that bad? I'm a competitive runner but new to cycling

[@guitsynthcw]

This is my experience. Almost no one stays behind the beacon. What's the point of the beacon then?

[@gplama]

They're the ride leader. They're usually the one who sets the route, pace, etc. If everyone wants to do their own thing.... fine... I guess. A lot of ride leader give up and move on due to people agreeing to join an event and doing something entirely different. It's an interesting problem on a social platform. There's no accountability for being a prick. The fence helps.... better tools for ride leaders would be welcomed.

[@B.A.Bassangler]

How do you hack the system, so you can kick or punch like in Road-Rash?

[@gplama]

GTAV is what you're after: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJ2UaIOVotV7f5I

[@willgodding2771]

Would you not say that a ride specified on watts/kg is a bit subjective? I imagine I'm a good 10-15kg heavier than the Lama so at 3w/kg that's an extra 30-45watts which is a lot more energy required

[@zwergstein2152]

yes but zwift calculates speed solely on w/kg so it is an easy way of ensuring the bunch stays together

[@admintopsolution]

Hi Shane, if you don't mind, can I ask which kind of smart fan you are using?

[@jamesbowden6922]

[@MR-wh5wp]

2w/kg would be 88watts for me. I have to do at least 3w/kg to keep up 🤣

[@Bone_89]

I did my first group ride today. At the end some folks kept the group jersey and I checked to see if I earned it; I did not. Are group jerseys not earnable?

[@gplama]

That depends on the group/event.

[@Bone_89]

@@gplama okay, thanks! Did a little more research and seems to be a glitch in some modes where you dont see yourself in the jersey, but others do.

[@jeffers2006]

When doing Zwift Academy group rides if I ride at the preset Watts per kilos which was 2.5 I get dropped and have to maintain much higher to stay in. Do you know why this might be?

[@gplama]

It depends on the course... and the ride leader... and the bunch. Impossible to know exactly what is going on without being in the bunch myself. I'd aim for sticking with the yellow beacon rider and trying to ignore the set wattage (although it should be ball-park what was listed)

[@jeffers2006]

Shane Miller - GPLama it was weird when the social ride was suppose to be 2.0 - 2.5 w/kg and other riders around me were doing 1.8 - 2.2w/kg I was doing 2.7w/kg and going backwards

[@thestopper5165]

@@jeffers2006 if you're tall, there's a (modest) penalty - for two riders putting out the same W/kg (and/or the same weight), the shorter one gets a (slight) aero advantage. That's realistic, since tall riders have a slightly higher CDA than a shorter rider of the same weight. It certainly shouldn't amount to 0.5W/kg though... sounds like you were out of the 'bubble' of the group's slipstream/draught. If you lost the draught (if the "rubber band snapped"), you would have to pull *at least* 3.5W/kg to get back onto a group that was running at 1.8-2.2; if you were pulling 2.7W/kg in a solo effort, the group would pull away from you. Another thing that happens when you lose the draught and then work like Billy-Oh to get back on... the 'natural' thing that happens when you get that "OK" is to slacken off a bit... and drift back out of the slipstream (I do it *all the time* ).

I also find simply riding to good KZbin videos can push me harder. Might look into BKool for this winter

I'm 53 and only half-fit (FTP barely 3W/kg), but I can still hold a conversation at HR 158. Above 165 I'll struggle, though (176 is my maxHR). As Shane pointed out, he's over a decade younger, and probably has at least 10 VO2Max points on me (mine's under 50). That would give him a Karvonen MaxHR above 185, so 158 is the bottom of "Tempo" for him (it's the top of "Tempo" for me).

[@stevewalter1888]

[@johncitizen2007]

I find the adhr frustrating... I’ve never finished with an average above the ride max of 2.8w/kg (usually right on it)... yet if I hold steady state at between the advertised 2.5-2.8 you end up as the ‘naughty 80’ off the front ... I find it more entertaining now to try to stay off the front, that never works as the ap makes the catch a couple of k’s in but then to keep away from ‘pacman’ is just as much fun... people take different things away from these rides, I feel very little guilt a breaching the ‘etiquette’ as I’m always within the rides advertised parameters

[@gplama]

Understood. But in going off the front you're both pulling others off the front, and giving people the 'he did it too' excuse to do the same. Let's scrap the w/kg and stay with the beacon - a better way of looking at what the ride is about (until the last lap, then go nuts)

[@fukawitribe]

The power figures are a guidance as to what the ride should (ideally) be around - whereas the repeated calls to get back to the beacon are actual requests from the ride leader (and helpers depending on the ride). I find the people that ignore the instructions from the organisers and leaders incredibly irritating myself, as Shane mentioned it has consequences for the behaviour of others. Whether or not they think they are following some 'letter of the law' they believe they know about the ride, when it boils down to it they are saying "I don't care what the rider leaders are (repeatedly) telling me to do, i'm doing what I want when I want to" - that's fair enough if they want to do that on their own, or with others of a similar mind, in which case they can go do it somewhere else. Basically it's just rude and makes the ride less enjoyable for others - it's also the single largest complaint I hear about such rides. I'm not alone in this, trust me, even if you completely disagree with me. On the plus side, sooner or later we will hopefully get a fully fledged ban hammer for the rider organisers/leaders to use in game, which should help with this. Personally, if it were my ride, I would be tempted to have a sort-of reverse elimination race in which every so often (effort, lap, time period or what-have-you) the folk in front of the beacon get booted - just a little light entertainment for those of us who go along with the spirit of the ride to enjoy. That's just me though probably....

[@mikebrooksAHDR]

It’s basically all about respect mate. If you want a harder ride sit on the back at your 2.8w as it’s harder to sit at the rear than the front. Going solo flying off the front stretches the bunch and causes a lot of issues.

[@kevwells]

People put allot of work into group rides (without getting anything for it, or more likely costs them money providing prizes for free), to wreck someones hard work because they want to be a d!ck is just wrong. It is only fair to make it as easy on the leader as much possible so they keep doing it and make the event enjoyable for everyone rather than ranting at d!cks that disrupt the bunch. Respect the bunch, leader, and the ride.

No consequences. No ride leader control of the group. There's a few things that could be implemented to boot people from events who disrupt the experience of others. I suspect Zwift are hesitant to start 'policing' paid subscribers. .

[@conorwright9783]

Do yourself a favour and DONT RIDE A TT BIKE DURING GROUP RIDES! You don't get the benefit of the draft. I learnt this the hard way after entering a 2.7w/kg ride only to have to ride at an average of 4+w/kg for an hour to keep up (I came 150th out of 280, which wasn't bad I thought).
