You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I have got Beta access to the Clubs feature and have set STW up as a club. This means that I can set up the race series myself without relying on Zwift but also that I can set up lots of other events - Sunday Hills, midweek recovery rides, sprint practice sessions etc.
https://zwiftinsider.com/clubs-expansion/
So its all set up (but without any events at the moment!). I will start to put some in though.
If you would like to be a member then reply on here or DM me and I will send you an invite. There is a caveat to that - we are limited to 100 members to start with so if the number gets close to 100 then I will consider removing members if they arent activley participating in occasional rides. But lets see how that goes - we may not hit 100!
Any ideas for events you would like put on let me know. I can put them in the calendar but it doesnt rely on me to be there just as a normal Zwift ride. We can also have ride leaders and ride sweepers and make use of the different categories in the pens for certain races.
I am also on the look out for a couple of moderators to help manage the events etc so if you are interested let me know.
Cheers!
My request would be different to most i think mate, which is 'not 7:30pm' or weekends. I ride usually between 10am and 3pm on weekdays... which is uncompatible with your racing. For some reason i simply can't do your evening things. It's family time, i don't like waiting till evenings, loads of other reasons, but for me it's just not happening, so i miss out a lot.
I can put day events in Weeksy - they just may not be very well attended. Maybe could try some lunchtime 30 min sprint sessions on a short track so people could fit lots of intesnity in over a short time during lunch?
If you want to lead a session Weeksy then I can set that up. Just let me know the time, date and course and I can put it in the calendar.
Hi Robbo thanks again for more organising! I'd like to join please, should be back in the race series next week too
It would be great to do some group MTB focussed training sessions, I started working my way through the Zwift training plan, but having others suffering at the same time is always encouraging.
Also badge hunting, everyone loves collecting shiny badges 🙂
Sign me up please Robbo.
Me too please!
count me 100% in!
As mentioned, evening rides, training plans, badge hunting.
Evenings defo work best for me, but will try and attend whatever and whenever!
Me too please Robbo.
I'll join please. I'm a shift worker so sometimes evenings fit and sometimes midweek days fit. I'll ride whatever I can.
.... Does this mean we get a limited edition kit!? 🤓
Dear imaginary biking friends, please include me in your club.
I shall bring imaginary mince pies to our first event.
I like the crit city races, and chase races - not sure if the club setup allows chase races, but we could impose our own start times.
Do we have a motto ?
Cheers, Ant.
Dropped you a DM with my Zwift ID. Ta 🙂
Despite being rubbish at attending races this season, sign me up please.
@robbo1234biking
I'd like to be in it but prob looking at another two months recovery If you want to add me to make up the numbers then cull me if the numbers demand it, that's cool.
Yes please! Please sign me up
Thanks as always for all your work doing the races
I'm another that usually does my Zwifting during the day, typically between 1200 and being finished by ~1800, mixture of my early work shift starts and noise levels from turbo in evening. If that suits, then please sign me up.
The events I'm craving far more variation on are TTs, I'm sick of a vast majority being on Tempus Fugit or Bologna, when custom 10/25 mile courses can be created on loads of different routes (not that I've seen the event creating tool, but a rare one or two Zwift associations do them).
Robbo, stick us in for a race then place on Bell Lap. Say 12:00 any day next week.
8 Laps, standard ABCD with 1 mins interval start times.
Can you make it open to public as well as just STWers ? I think that way we'll then get a mix of racers as well as a core bunch of STWers.
Please 🙂
sounds fantastic Robbo.. great work!
I'm happy to be involved in running some sunday hills rides and workout sessions....
DrP
(You know my ID)
Sign me up please! I’m also a big fan of the shorter races… potentially interested in the occasional lunchtime Crit!
Yes please, include me if you can
Yes please! Do we get jackets?
This club seems like a good idea.
I'll join in with the hope of some daytime meet ups with fellow riders.
It'll hopefully get me back into more regular zwift winter riding.
Of course! Excellent work @robbo1234biking. Lets get the Sunday Hills ride back up and running. Perhaps some of the stronger riders could take turns as sweepers and get the big red beacon for their efforts.
Looks like @weeksy's rides might be more popular than he thought 😉 I'll also put my hand up as a moderator - whatever that entails.
Good effort Rob, could you sign me up please.
D.M. sent Robbo, thanks for being motivated to organise this. I will soon be very familiar to any sweepers.
Can you add me please Robbo - Tuesday nights is my normal club ride so I have missed a lot of the series this year, but be very interested in other events / meet ups
Me too please, although not convinced timings will work for me
Cheers for the invite Rob, actually I'll probably be about for daytime rides, although It'll be a while before it's much more than spinning the pedals.
Yes please Robbo 🙂
Yes please Robbo
YES... I'm in da club!!!!
sooo special!!!
But, it keeps making companion crash!!
Is it only Robbo who can create events?
Anyone fancy a VO2 threshold training ride this evening?
DrP
Me too please....
If you're nowhere near the 100 then can i be added please, will PM you - needing to get a bit more active as have been slack lately.
Pick me, pick me!!! I'd love to join, thanks Robbo.
I’m in for this if there’s room Robbo. I missed the last couple of series through injury then illness but all fixed now and ready to ride.
Can we get a jersey? Stick me in too please
Yes please Robbo.
Seeing as I've ridden all of the race series I'll happily be part of it! Well, someone has to be the 'sweeper' at the back every ride 😁
Waves hand in air. Another one here Robbo
Cheers
Yes, please add me Robbo.
I've the 2 BIG Zwift routes left to do (along with a smatter of the new ones): "Uber Pretzel" and "PRL full". would BIG route events be a runner? Ones that people could join at any stage, take breaks etc.
I think it would be rude not to. Thanks Robbo.
Me to Robbo if there any space left.
Obviously you know my current situation and until my heart gets back to normal beats my participation is limited, definitely no TT's 🙂 But I could join some workouts as we do each week anyway. Once I'm back it's definitely Sunday Hills for me.
In the meantime I am happy to help with moderator duties Rob.
Me too please Robbo
DM'd you also. Another daytime rider here. No worries if you are oversubscribed.
@IHN - can you DM me with your Zwift username please?
@weeksy - sorry to be awkward but..Crit City is the only world I cant select. Any other sprints tracks take your fancy for the WEdnesday STW hump day crit?
I have made a few people moderators who have requested. Moderators can create events as well as my self.
Its seems pretty flaky on Android.
I have created a Sunday hills event for 8 am on Sunday - Big Loop. You should be able to join by going to the club page. I dont believe it shows on the general Zwift calendar but you can share the link with non-members. I cant actually ride on Sunday so if anyone wants to be a ride leader of a sweeper let me know.
If you want an event adding then just shout up with a time and route (or lenght of time). Race results are on but Im not sure if anything will show up in Zwiftpower. We will have to just see how things go. Times and routes can be whatever people want (as long as its available) its not just down to what I think. I am happy to create what people would like to do and we may find some are more popular.
For TTs I can do custom length courses but it would be a mass start and therefore a gentlemans agreement that everyone would ride on a TT bike so there was no draft effect.
Lol damn
Richmond fan flats maybe 3-4 lapper please
Stick as single start time not staggered so the C's can try and grab a B wheel, the B's can grab As etc.

Is there perhaps an option to specify a frame in the event settings?
https://zwiftpower.com/events.php?zid=2467158 is regular weekly fixture, everyone is forced on to Zwift TT frame, but riders can choose whatever wheels they fancy.
Its seems pretty flaky on Android.
Unusable!! FFS!!
DrP
Try to see if you can go into clubs DrP and just join the event on Sunday? Don’t try the other functions.
I’ve created a crit for Wednesday. Confused though - the main bit says 19km but the individual groups say 9km!
Me too please - sport I’ve been absent from recent races. Combination of psoriatic arthritis acting up and too much work. Hope to be back in the races soon, but definitely up for some more mellow rides.
The events are showing up in the main zwift calendar. Not sure if that is because it is part of a club event or if anyone can see them but the crit is open for everyone.
crashes everytime on my android phone!
will see if I can make this one! Might as well do mass-start rather than individual start times for different cats though I'd thought, probably won't be [I]that[/I] many takers!!I’ve created a crit for Wednesday.
works great on iPhone 😎 (had to update to newest version though for the Club tab to show up)crashes everytime on my android phone!
I've entered the Crit on Weds, but the group times are random for starting, C start last... lol.
I can't get to it from the Clubs section though, only through scrolling all the way through the events.
yeah i can join (and unjoin) events in the clubs bit... shame i can't add or fiddle with things jsut yet...
DrP

I did mention that earlier and i am inclined to agree... i'd like to give some of the Bs a try.
Mass start sorted.
Top job boss
yes please
Yes please, can I join!?
Android app seems to crash when you click on the tabs within the club, like the messages or events tabs.
Does this stuff need reporting with it being a beta, or are they on to it anyway?
The zwift forum has several similar issues. They are onto it.
Can you put my name down for this please robbo. 👍🏼
Excellent, signed up for the Sunday spin, I'm normally out biking IRL on Sunday but out tomorrow instead this week.
https://www.zwift.com/events/view/2492667
This is a link to Sunday Hills. You won’t get an invite to club events but they exist on the club tab which seems to work for most people including android users but the link above lets you join in a web browser.
Please add me too.
Reinstalled and still crashes when I try and join the sunday ride...Hey ho.
Nick - can you try the link above by copying and pasting in an internet browser and signing up that way?
@doordonot can you follow me then I can add you.
@robbo1234biking can you add me too please?
<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Thanks again for organising!</span>
Yes please Robbo. It's the events organised on thisbforum that keep me signed up to zwift. Thanks to all who organise and make them happen
Count me in, please.
Just started a month long break from work, so timing for such things as Zwift should be easier for me.
Robbo - yep can add that way. cheers
and can see in my companion app as a ride. but clicking into the ride and then trying to see who is riding etc just crashes my app.
If there's space, I'd definitely join - I still end up robbing short rides where I can but I'll find it easier to find slots (hopefully) is they are listed on ZP now. If nothing else, it's motivating to see what else the group is up to.
You should have me, I'm following you from the original races, C raig - IATR on Zwift... No sweat if already full, I'm seriously unreliable anyway 😉
If there are any spaces left can you put me down as well please Robbo? Hopefully it'll shame me into getting in the turbo again.
How does this thing work then? Am I looking in the right place, I can’t seem to find the clubs on companion app.
@giggsmaster there should be an invite on the first page of companion, and there is a clubs option at the bottom. Check companion up to date and you have been sent an invite ?
On iphone or android ?
iPhone, just checked App Store and there is no update waiting, but I ain’t got the clubs tab at the bottom of the app.
@robbo1234biking might have missed me earlier, as no invite pending. I’ll hang on.
Can see the first event has been set up: Sunday hills. Is that the one where you wait for the slow people at the top of the climbs? Tempted to join even if I only ride with others for a few minutes 😁
I’m in, cheers robbo
