Hey all! I really enjoy connecting with fellow Xert users, so I’m planning to occasionally host some relaxed social group rides on Zwift for anyone who wants to jump in. It’s a great chance to chat about Xert or training in general, ask questions, and meet other Xerters in a fun, low-key setting.
If there’s enough interest, I’d also love to put together some ‘badge hunting’ rides later this winter so we can check off some of the longer Zwift routes together!
I’ll be hosting a casual Xert group ride on Zwift this Saturday morning (22 Nov) at 6:00am EST (12:00pm CET).
- Duration: 90 minutes
- Pace: ~2.1–2.5 W/kg average
- Sweeper: Yes - we’ll have a sweeper to help keep things together, if needed
My goal is to keep the ride social, steady, and fun! If it sounds interesting and you’d like to join, feel free to join the Xert Club on Zwift (here) then register for the group ride, here.
Happy Training!

Xert Winter Saturday Social Ride
This is a friendly, inclusive group ride designed to welcome a range of abilities while keeping everyone riding together on the same route and at the same time.
The primary leader (yellow beacon) will ride at a steady 2.1–2.5 W/kg on average, with some slightly higher efforts on the hills. The ride will be fenced for the first 10–15 minutes to allow everyone to settle in and form the group.
After that, a secondary leader will move off the front at a higher pace (~2.5–3.0 W/kg). Riders who want to push the pace or test themselves are welcome to follow along for as long as they like. If you get dropped, no problem at all - the yellow beacon will arrive shortly and you can continue the ride comfortably with the main group.
We’ll also have a sweeper (red beacon) riding at the back to help anyone who falls off the group rejoin the peloton.
We’ve had great attendance so far this winter - come and join me tomorrow morning at 0600 EST! More details here:
