But those are different than the kits we could vote for a while ago.
And I cant see a preview of the kits we can get there anywhere. Would make selection one or two a lot easier if all kits we can earn on those ride would be visable.
I haven’t been involved in this at al sorry.

Community Racing Festival details article by Eric.
While each organiser’s route and length is only for one week day plus in rotation with the others of that week at the weekend, shame a few choices are route repeats, given all the routes Zwift has these days.
The whole point is to prove how bad the ZRS seed equation is
Don’t forget the rubberbanded celebration rides start on Thursday 3rd October, with Big Flat 8 and numerous celebrities joining rides.
Hopefully a link to all rubberbanded rides in near future (I wish zwiftpower and Companion app made rubberbanding obvious)…
0900 BST event nearly at 1000 signups, Sir Chris Hoy’s event at 1800 today could break Zwift!
That one’s a little early for me, but I’ve signed up for the Frodeno & Sanders one at 7pm. Already 930 signed up for that one too.
I think Zwift are a bit more prepared for the Jensie effect these days though. Hopefully!

I’ve seen Jan Frodeno a few times on Zwift - sometimes in the old Bowie pace-partner rides, he seemed really friendly, happy to chat to everyone. Anna Meares as well I’ve seen on Zwift - someone noticed here and reacted with an astonished “oh wow!”. She was quite cool. 
She’s a legend.
I was a bit worried about the banded rides because my past experiences with them have been terrible (bouncing around all over the place and incredibly slow speeds).
But we had about 300 people in a birthday bash rubber banded ride (I assume it was banded) and it was the smoothest rubber banded ride I’d ever done. With the added bonus that the speed was quite reasonable.

I’d like races to start using banding for the first ~2km, at which point it turns off. Effectively a neutral start.

Supprisingly few shirts unlocks in the birthday bash rides. yes, you get the anniversary kit, but to my recollection we would also get the team/clubs shirt as a 2nd unlock and I think 90% of these rides havent done that.
Were you wearing the team’s/club’s kit in the ride or the Zwift 10th kit? If the latter then you only unlock the latter.

Aha thats why. That sucks. Was looking forward to add a few to the collection I didnt have yet.
Guess they forgot to eddit this part though.
‘We will be inviting pros, celebrities, and Zwift-lebrities to lead rides and unlock some of the most sought-after kits from the last decade.’
The poll which was done about what shirts vanished without a reason and Zwift never told whyu this wasnt happening anymore.

Yeah that’s their modus operandi for anything they want to back out of. Silently discard it and hope nobody notices. It never works. Would be much better to say hey guys sorry we changed our minds or ran into a problem delivering it.

Being an avid cycle racing fan - I have to say, who are these famous ride leaders? In the past, I’d heard of them. We need Remco, MVPD, Vos and the top women and Pogi, Siv, Yates etc (oh wait - they ride on MyWhoosh).
Anyhow - let’s have top road pros leading these. The super famous one.
Those fortunate to be over L100 have no need for extra XP, and we need a reason.
D.
I rode with MVDP on Friday.
