HomeZwift Joining a BBC Ride

 

Signing Up For a Ride


To join any BBC Zwift ride, you must sign up before each ride on the Zwift Companion app on your phone or tablet:

  • On Zwift Companion, select CLUBS then BBC Madison
  • Select CLUB EVENTS and use the  ▶  arrow to scroll left/right and select the BBC Event(s)


  • You'll now see the Event's Date, Route, Duration etc.:

  • You must select  +  to join a power group (we only use 1-5 W/kg). The  +  button changes to a check mark. Select the check mark if you need to remove yourself from an Event

 

Discord

  • If you want to join the ride conversation, start the Discord app on your device by selecting https://discord.gg/PxjxmnSnUK
  • Select BBC Madison from your Discord servers on the left
  • Select voice channel Zwift. You are now live with the BBC Zwift riders who are in this Voice Channel
    • A wired or wireless headset or earbuds with built-in microphone is strongly recommended. This reduces the background fan and trainer noise others will hear
    • As needed, select🎙️to mute/unmute. The noise cancellation isn’t perfect, if others hear your background noise, stay on mute and unmute to talk
    • At the end of the ride, select the 📞 button to disconnect from the voice channel


Riding the Event
Ideally, be on your trainer 20 min early to check everything is working and to warm up.
  • Start the Zwift App on your device. It will automatically pair with your smart trainer, heart rate and cadence etc. sensors
  • Select the BBC Club Event
  • Select  RIDE  and start pedaling. About 5 minutes before the start time, the  JOIN EVENT  button pops up at the lower left. Select it to be teleported to the BBC route with the other BBC riders


  • At the designated start time, we're off

  • The ride will end automatically when the ride's distance, time or laps is complete. From  MENU  end your ride and  SAVE  to Strava, Garmin, TrainingPeaks etc.
