ABOUT THIS RIDE
Come ride with members of the BaseCamp team as we kick off our 2020 training program! This group ride will be led by at least two BaseCamp coaches, focusing on building some time in the saddle at a solid aerobic effort. Since we have a wide variety of cyclists in our program, we will allow the separation of groups during the ride; please follow leader instructions, but expect three groups: 1.5 w/kg, 2.0 w/kg, and 2.5 w/kg. For those particpating in the BaseCamp program, please read the ride instructions posted in our Facebook group.

This group ride is part of the BaseCamp 2020 virtual cycling center base training program for cyclists and triathletes. To learn more about this program, visit us at https://joinbasecamp.com/Opens a new window.

LEADER COACHES
The BaseCamp coaches will lead this ride; we try to have at least two coaches guiding each workout. Ride with 3x world champion Amber Neben, USA winningest male pro Scott Moninger, current Liv Giant pro MTB racer Serena Gordon Bishop, and/or our master coaches Tim Cusick, Brig Brandt, and Kevin Williams.

WORKOUT TIPS
We suggest warming up on the trainer for 5-10 minutes before the workout starts. Also, most people have a lower FTP indoors than outdoors; try lowering your FTP 5-15 watts for a better workout experience. Respect the leader's pace and ride with the yellow beacon. This is NOT A RACE! If you are struggling to stay with the yellow beacon, please request assistance from a ride sweep with the red beacon, whose job it is to help via group text in the Zwift companion app.

HELPFUL HINT
We highly recommend doing one of the FTP tests, as the estimated FTP can be inaccurate and make the difficulty level of the workouts too high for your current fitness level.
