EVENT DESCRIPTION
ZSUN BASE BUILDER
This annual winter series, hosted by ZSUN, which encompasses 16 events designed to bolster endurance capabilities. Each week the events will become slightly more challenging which will be achieved via a combination of duration, distance, and intensity.
To accommodate a broader range of riders, each event includes three distinct pace groups. Participants can select their preferred riding pace by choosing one of three pens. If the faster group proves too intense, riders can adjust their pace and join one of the slower groups.
Pen B is the hardest of the groups with a pace of 3.0-4.0 watts per kilogram (w/kg)
Pen C is the mid point of the groups with a pace of 2.5-3.5 watts per kilogram (w/kg)
Pen D is the easiest of the groups with a pace of 2.0-3.0 watts per kilogram (w/kg)
The w/kg bands allow for increased intensity on targeted climbs and intervals as communicated by the ride leaders.
Each week the ride will include a few intervals or uplift in intensity which will be documented in the FB posts and at the start of each event by the ride leaders on Discord.
.
Each pen will have a ride leader with the yellow beacon and a sweeper with red beacon in attendance.
Discord sessions will be held every week about a training subject. Our Discord voice service can be found here:
