It’s great to see some familiar faces on this page! For those I haven’t connected with, I work within the Content Programming team and have been supporting events & clubs over the past two years.
I’ve been working closely with Eddy to capture all of your feedback from beta through to launch.
I’ve read and logged every forum post/support ticket regarding Clubs which has been invaluable to help guide our development priorities and roadmap (thank you! ).
To help build an even stronger bridge between you and our internal team, I will be posting our monthly updates and be your main point of contact/resource to respond to any of your queries or follow up on your requests.
Eddy isn’t going anywhere, don’t worry! I’m just here to keep you more informed on our current status and progress.
To continue Eddy’s structure, we will carry on answering the following:
What can you expect in the next release?
What is Zwift working on now?
What is the status of feedback the community provided?
What can you expect from the next release?
We have no new significant updates regarding clubs in this release. The team has been working on a completely revamped Clubs screen in ZC. We originally wanted this to be available in this release but could not meet the release timeline and will be available soon.
What is Zwift working on now?
Ability to discover / search and join a club
Ability to share and join your club via web
Double draft mode
No draft mode
Rubberband mode
Making event only routes available
Reduce route image sizes during route selection
Abandon / delete a club
Group workouts
What is the status of feedback the community provided?
Discovery: Early in the process
Backlog: It’s on our radar and some work has been done
In Progress: It’s actively being worked on
Done: Released

The ability to edit events and club data via the website is a thing which is missing from your list. There is a recent thread about that (missing/removed) functionality.
Excellent start! I would suggest more detail in the thread title. “March Update” doesn’t really let people know what you’re talking about. Something like “March Update for Club Functionality” or “Club Update for March”. Something that defines it beyond the “Update” because most of us are going to see it as some discussion about the regular monthly application update.
Thanks for engaging us in this. Truly appreciated.
We currently create a meetup with keep together enabled then everyone pick their own workout or jut free ride, so the option to pick your own workout or not is important to us.
This looks great. Looking forward to double draft, special event routes, and club workouts.
Meanwhile, our club members have been frustrated by a bug. Club member rides, including club events, are not regularly displaying under Club Activities. This is true even if a member has selected our club as the active club when initiating a ride. Further, missing activities is also true for members that only belong to one club. This is not true for all riders but is persistently true for some.
Let me check to see if this is part of the long-term plan and get back to you.
For now it’s best to separate the two, but if you want to edit your public events on the move you can always access your club page within a browser on mobile using the below:
This seems pretty inefficient. Wouldn’t it make more sense to converge the two, especially considering available functionality, with the only difference being how the event is publicised?
Just seems like a lot more work on Zwift’s side and more confusion on the user’s side.
@Gerrie_Delport_ODZ the intended experience will be the same as a scheduled group workout currently available on the public events calendar, where all event participants ride/run the attached workout file.
Many others have used your method (meetup + keep together mode + select workout file) as a workaround to replicate a group workout experience.
Can I ask, if the option to pick your own workout isn’t important, what would be your expected experience from group workouts if implemented into clubs?
Once ‘keep together mode’ or ‘rubberbanding’ is available as an event setting for clubs you will be able to toggle this ON/OFF if we do not specifically flag this to be unavailable for RACE event types. (still TBD)
Do you have a particular use case for this for races? @OleKristian
