When I sign up for a race using the app (android) why, when I start riding (ipad) does it automatically start me in the world that is chosen for that day instead of the race pen of the world the race is taking part in?
It then gives me the option to ‘change worlds’ to the race. Shouldn’t this be done by default if I’m already signed up to the race?
It’s not very logical, but that’s just the way it is, I’m afraid. You have to start riding in one of the worlds, and then you should get a button to join the event.
I’d say this is, generally, because Zwift have no way of knowing whether you want to do a warmup before the race, or not. If they automatically put you into the pen upon starting Zwift, just because you had signed up for a race, it would negate the opportunity to warm up anywhere but the pens (where you get zero mileage for time spent ‘on your trainer’).
