Policy On Reporting Positive COVID Finding
These procedures were approved by the WCC board of directors on December 16, 2020, effective immediately. Because they address a complex issue with many variations, situations may arise that are not plainly covered by them. The Rides chair, Greg Sims, or any other board member if he is unavailable, can advise you if requested.
No club member may sign up for or take part in any ride posted on the club's Rides board if that member is aware of having tested positive for COVID or having been recently
(Policy On Reporting Positive COVID Finding continues .Understanding the Waitlist
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are limiting rides to 8 riders. You must sign up for a ride in advance to attend the ride. If there are 8 or more riders already on the ride, you end up on the waitlist.
So how does the waitlist work?
It is a first come, first served system. The first rider to be waitlisted will be the first taken off the waitlist when a spot opens up. When you are taken off the waitlist, you get an email saying you are now on the ride. You may also be taken off the waitlist

- 10AV27.32Zwift Social Ride - London "The London Pretzel"Ave Karel
Ride safely indoors - avoid cold temps and bad weather - enjoy chatting with other riders.
NOTE: If you don't have access to Zwift, but would still like to use your trainer and chat with our group, please sign up below to join us and I will invite you to the DISCORD app for chatting.
NOTE: If you are new to Zwifting and Virtual rides, I'll be happy to help you get started.
..
This will be a friendly 'Keep Everyone Together Ride'...... (i.e. no matter what your power is, the group will stick together, as long as you keep pedaling. So you get to ride at your desired pace - whatever feels comfortable to you. You'll be able to draft and move around in the group without fear of being dropped. And we can even stop for an occasional nature break and stay together as long as everyone stops + starts together. I will also set ride parameters so that we can see only each other's avatars; and other riders on the same route will be invisible to us.
My purpose is to enjoy sharing an indoor ride with others, of any pace ability, to chat and get some miles. When we ride outdoors, we usually ride with the same group of friends, but Zwift "Stick Together" indoor rides provide a unique opportunity to ride and "chat" with riders of different pace categories, or even those that don't ride outdoors much at all.
Since this is a Virtual ride, there will be no limit to the number of participants.
- To get meetup invite, 1) sign up below and 2) "Follow" me on Zwift (if you have not done so already). My username is AVE KAREL(WCC-C+).
- Then, once you accept my meetup invitation on Zwift, it will automatically transport you to the meetup start at the appropriate time.
- The route is London "The London Pretzel"..........You can stop your ride anytime you desire - no need to do the full route. I may also not do full route, but will ride at least 1.5 hours)
- Here's the route description: Sign In
- The meetup/ride will start ON TIME. Please be at least 10 minutes early so we can connect and chat briefly via the DISCORD app - making sure everyone's sound quality is good - and then start the ride on time.
- Using Discord: I have discovered how to use Discord successfully, without voice cut-outs. Once you sign in and join the group on the selected channel (WCC-B for this ride), go to "settings" and click ON "auto sensitivity", "noise suppression","echo cancellation", "automatic gain control" and "automatic voice activity". In other words, click ON just about every setting option. Again, join the conversation 10 minutes early to make sure we connect well.

Another Bedford to Ridgefield for Steve's Bagels, but with some twists. We will keep a fast tempo to keep warm, but will also have an option for an inside stop to warm up at Steve's. Some different roads going out and coming back, but including the famous Nod Hill descent out of Ridgefield. Expect some steep hills that will keep you warm. Bring a mask.

- 10AB43New Canaan Backroads You Have Never Been On IIBruce Wells
A recovery ride on some new roads. Many of these roads should be new to everyone unless you were one of the brave souls who came out the first time, as they are not ones we normally do. A GPS navigation unit is suggested. We will keep the group together because no one will have any idea of where we are. No dirt, but some rough roads (sewer work apparently). Stop at bagel store in New Canaan where we can warm up. Bring a mask.

It's March. You know what they say. We ride to Hayfields to get toasty round the firepit, assuming they are open. Either way, we'll get toasty (or toasted) on the way back as we climb Hunt Lane. (We will wait for the leader at the top.) So yes, there will be regrouping. Bring a bike suitable for the dirt, the usual necessities, and your smiling face.
