Join the Buffalo Bicycling Club on Zwift for a 2 hour ride at a steady pace of 2.5 watts/kilogram.  This is a social group ride, so please stick to the pace and please stick with the ride leader. Since this is a collaborative ride, if 2.5w.kg doesn’t work for you, feel free to adjust your weight in Zwift accordingly before the ride starts so you can ride along!  Each week, the second hour features optional sprints with regrouping after each one.

January is also our Sprint Challenge!  We will be featuring sprint-heavy circuit courses for our rides.  In the second hour, each sprint will be worth 3-2-1 points for the men and women, and the riders who collects the most points by the end of January will get a gift card to one of our sponsoring local bike shops!  Each sprint will be handled as we do in our other rides, ride together at 2.5 w/kg, wait for the call to sprint, then regroup after.  All sprints are optional.  

Here is the current leaderboard:
