That’s why we offer Midsummer Challenge Rides on virtual platform Zwift as well. Alex Tolome and Roeschelle Tiongson are hosting the rides - here are their tips on completing the 200 km challenge indoors.
- Before the ride, try to do a bit of stretching and warming up to prepare your muscles.
- Plan your nutrition, know your body and how much food and liquid you need for the ride.
- Ambience is important. Create a motivating atmosphere with lighting, music, plants, and visuals. Maybe put your setup in front of a window or an aquarium.
- Keep yourself comfortable during the ride, make sure there is enough space so that you can easily grab anything you need during the ride.
- Don’t think that you can’t finish the ride, always keep in mind that you can do it and you have challenged yourself to complete this ride, look forward on finishing it
- For toilet breaks, use the coffee stop function in the Zwift action bar. It gives you a 3-minute break while drafting with the crew and is available every 30 minutes. Use it wisely.
- Just have fun and don't put too much pressure on yourself during the ride. Find your group and set your pace. Remember, it’s not a race. We’re here to help everyone complete the Zwift Midsummer Ride together.
