What is Zwift
Zwift is a online cycling program and videogame that enables users to interact, train, and compete in a virtual world. It is a fun way for us to meet up virtually and train together. Zwift works best with a smart trainer as it can adjust the resistance so you can “feel” the grade.
How to get started with Zwift
Zwift offers a free trial for new users, then it is about $15/month. Download the application and create your account on Zwift.com. It is also recommended that you download the Zwift companion app to your phone.
How to join the Zwift Meetup
Step 1. Be sure that you have the Zwift Companion App on your phone.
Step 2. Follow me - Kevin Livingston
In the Zwift Companion App, click on the top menu "Zwifting Now" >
On the next screen, click on the search icon in the top right corner
Search for me on the list - Kevin Livingston. I have a racing photo as well as the circled check mark next to the USA flag.
Click on the + orange icon.
Step 3. If you have not signed up before, sign up HERE with your name as it appears on Zwift in the body of the email so I can invite you to the MeetUp.
Step 4. Check either this evening or tomorrow morning via the ZWIFT Companion App for your Meetup invitation and accept. It will appear under your EVENTS menu bar.
For additional help, check out JOINING A MEETUP.
Step 5. In the morning, log in to Zwift 5-6 minutes before 7 am and select "Ride". It doesn't matter the course. Once you are in the Zwift world, you will see a button in the lower left hand corner of the screen to join meetup. Click on that button and Zwift will take you to the ride. If you are on earlier Zwift will populate the option to join as the Meetup approaches.
Note: You MUST join the Meetup BEFORE it starts. There is no way to join after the event starts!
See you there!
