Now that DST has ended and it's dark at our club usual evening ride start time (6PM), I started hosting meetup rides. You can set them up using the 'everyone stays together' option, so riders can pedal as hard or as easy as they want, and the group stays together on the virtual road. It's a great way for everyone from the A riders to the beginners to ride together (virtually) and socialize with group chat. On our last ride we had a group at 1.2 w/kg, and another at 3 w/kg, and everyone finished at the same time. I'm sure the 3 w/kg group got a much better workout, though!
