Weekly Virtual Bike classes
We keep our weekly virtual meet-ups on Zwift leading by coach Ivan Vlasenko
Every Tuesday: Ironguides meet up on Zwift, 19:00 (60-75min, short intervals)
How it works:
You need Zwift membership and the right set-up at home, ideally including a smart trainer with resistance and the Zwift Companion app on your phone.
In order to be able to join the meet-up, you need to follow “Ivan Vlasenko” on Zwift and Zwift Companion Application.
Once you follow he will be able to invite you for a “meet-up”, and you need to accept the invitation in the app. It will appear in your planned events in the app.
You must connect to Zwift and start riding by yourself by clicking on “ride” at least 5 minutes before the official starting time. You can select any map, it does not matter. DO NOT click on “Ride with Ivan Vlasenko” on the menu page, else you might miss the official meet-up.
Once “in the game”, you should be able to click on “join Ivan Vlasenko’s meet-up” on the bottom left of the screen. The blue button will appear 5 minutes before the start of the meet-up. We will all be cycling on the Zwift stationary trainer for a few minutes until the official start time, use this as a warm-up and make sure you are ready for the ride (water, food, towels, fan, AC etc).

ironguides Club Races & Camps Calendar 2020
There has been some changes to our camp calendar, with the lack of races we have now adjusted the weekends in a way that there will be a club race simulation in every camp, so you get your race fix against your team mates for this year every couple months or so, and win a little symbolic prize to give a more race feel.
The concept was based on the first ironman triathlon race in 1978 in which 12 athletes toed the line, we will keep this small and safe, only to our community. Club races were also a thing in the late 90s and 2000s before the large commercial races took over, its time to bring it back
You can use your current membership value to sign up for these.
