Zwift Clubs - dead in the water?

On Zwift we have 28 club members. But not everyone has the same goals or category.
On Gran fondo’s you can choose a category (track related ) .
All categories start togheter an they split along the way. I wanted to create a simular situation in club ride. Cat C : Volcano climb after party (3 round beach island loop + volcano climb) Cat E : 3 laps Beach island loop. (so they don’t have to do the climb). But when you create 2 grouprides. They can’t start togheter and they won’t see each other during the ride. It would be interesting to add this feature in club rides.
Ride on !

ps : When late join is open, riders don’t always get the same track. The zwifter will join the team leader , but sometimes they split up along the ride.

Hi Chris, we’re into February now and after a patient 4 weeks since your very welcome message when do you think we can expect the next forum status update to be?

Hey Chris,
We are shooting for EOW. We have had some earlier than planned success getting a new feature close to launch and we are trying to get it buttoned up before the update.
Thanks,

Excellent! Thanks for the quick reply and I look forward to the update tomorrow :blush:

I don’t understand the need…unless it’s something to be added into the Companion app, which I can’t use anymore unless I buy another $600 smartphone. Is it messaging? Informing riders who have joined one of Zwift’s Clubs (as opposed to clubs that were joined way before this “feature”) when a ride or race is scheduled? I can find that out from Zwiftpower or Zwift Hacks. I’m confused and ignorant. :man_shrugging:t3:

Which feature are you referring to?

As a side note, couldn’t you buy an Android tablet for a lot less than $600 to run the Companion App on? I have a Samsung I paid $150 for, my wife has a Lenovo that was about the same. Both run the Comp App just fine. (Edit: and I keep mine next to the bike on a music stand I picked up used for $5. Works well like that. :slight_smile:)

by “feature” I meant Zwift Clubs—at end of rides, save option and send to Clubs.

Oh, I know there are cheaper ways. I was just venting/being snarky…hehe

Yeah, I use the right hand side of an old LG V50 to run companion app fitted into a cheap handlebar mount, the laptop sits on a music stand to the right of the bike, connected to my 32"tv via Chromecast (only thing I’ll use Microsoft edge for)

Any improvement in this? My Clubs wants to leave Zwift. Too boaring Workouts over the winters. Please give us more Workouts or the opportunity to choose own Workouts…that can’t be a big Thing. Pleaseeeeeeee

I look some Zwiftmembers to put some pressure on Zwift find solutions for more Clubfunctions or for more Clubworkouts in the Bibliothek…would be great. M

I just build my own workout. And workouts suppose to be boring. If you are training blocks of vo2max or Zone 2, don’t mix them in with a dash and a sprinkle of sprints. Low intensity workout should be low and a hard effort should be hard.

Lots of Zwift workouts mixes hard and easy workload together to keep it interesting but that doesn’t make for a productive workout.

My fault…sorry. I’ve tons of private Workouts. The point ist, that we need more Clubfunctions. The Workout- Bibliothek just for Clubs is poor. I’ m just talking about the function for Clubs. Thanks

Hello, did you discuss with the Team? Can you give the Club a bigger -Workoutlist? Plain, no comments in the Workouts. They gave us 3 more in the 60 to 90 minutes Workouts. In one week done. Please…
