I’m in the same predicament. I don’t see any advantage to Clubs unless you’re intending to run races or do group workouts. For social rides, I think Meetups are better for me. I did experiment and set up a club, but now can’t find how to delete it.
I found this hint on zwiftinsider.com: "At this time, there’s not a way to delete your Club. But what you CAN do is just leave the Club. If you’re the only owner, the effectively kills it, since nobody can create Club events except for owners.
You can only be a member of 3 Clubs, too. So leaving a Club you created frees up a Club “slot” for you."
I tried to create a club just to see. I quit it but I can’t create it again with the same name for sure now. Will it disappear ? I was the only one but nobody can come. it’s only with invitation. So I’m blocked.
Also in the same predicament with a club I created. Would love to delete it as there is no benefit to club rides without all the features of meetups etc…
