Established in September 2020, The Applewood Cycling Group Ride is surely one of the longest continually running weekly group rides on Zwift. Join leader Stephen Collins for a challenging B+ tempo training ride in the lavender fields of France covering two full laps of the Douce route. Our ride incorporates both a steady group with the leader targeting pulls on the front at 3.5 to 3.9 WKG (drafting average ~3.2wkg), and we offer an all-out A+ pace breakaway group. Our breakaway is fully sanctioned and an important element of our group ride dynamic. Every now and then the beacon group catches the break, but only very rarely. No fence, proud. No sweep. We do honor the finish line with a competitive sprint!

We encourage friendly group banter during the ride. Our goal is to create an outstanding training ride that is social and entertaining. Thanks to all our wonderful regulars and a big welcome to all newcomers.
