Warm up power up

Sometimes I join a group ride that is higher watts/kg than I normally ride at and would appreciate having an opportunity to do a warm up with the group rather than having to go straight into a tough effort.

I wonder if there could be a warm up power button that is available for the first minute of a group ride and if a rider chooses to use it then it would make it a bit easier for the first 5 minutes. Maybe reduce the effort needed by 25%. I am guessing that the game could make it so anyone that had activated the warm up could not get on the leaderboard while it was active. If you choose not to use it then it could just disappear off your screen after a minute.

There maybe a better way to implement the warm up, but it seems that the power up buttons are already there and could be used.

Hi @Warren_Hall and welcome to the forums. I personally would not advocate for this type of power up as I can see it being abused. However, if you are talking about joining a robopacer group there is already the option to teleport to the different paced bots allowing you to warm up with a slower bot and then join the faster one. If this is a group ride you are joining then you just have to plan for an extra 10 or 15 minutes before it starts and do your own warm up.

Hey Mike,

I was talking about the robopacer rides, and I didn’t know I could teleport to a different one. Off to learn how to use Zwift better.

Many thanks

Warren
