On Tuesday at 8 PM, I’m planning the Lutece Express route in Paris (https://www.strava.com/segments/24674248).
If anyone is interested, just follow me on Zwift (Michael Bello - NCC) and I'll add you to the invite. If you follow me, please send me a note.
A few recommendations...
Zwift now allows late joiners to Meetups. Give yourself a few extra minutes to join the ride anyway (on Zwift 5 minutes before the ride would be ideal).
Please wear the NCC jersey. This makes it easier to recognize who is in the group. On a computer, log into Zwift, once riding, press “P” on you keyboard and enter NCCMAKIT. After that, you can use the jersey on any device running Zwift (laptop, tablet, phone, etc.).
Our previous rides were enhanced with conversations on Discord. After installing Discord, ˙˙use the NCC invite to join the conversation: https://discordapp.com/invite/uXdHm7m.
If you are new to Discord, I recommend this article on ZwiftInsider: https://zwiftinsider.com/using-discord/. Please pay particular attention to Step 4: "Discord automatically places you in the text chat channel, which isn’t where you want to be. Click the hamburger menu (3 lines at top-left) to view all the channels on the server. Click “General” under voice channels, then click “Connect to Voice” to join the general voice chat."
I also recommend testing Discord out prior to the ride. Feel free to contact me if you want to test Discord.
Tonight Charlie, Teddy, and I rode the Lutece Express route in Paris.
In the 60 minutes we covered approximately 18.4 miles and climbed 603 feet.
We all earned the Lutece Express route achievement, which doubled our XP points for the first lap. Teddy completed Zwift level 15 and earned his avatar stylish shades.
Although Melissa could not ride with us this evening, she joined the Discord conversation. As always the conversation was diverse and covered such topics as electrical outlets, the TdF, Monday's Zwift race, Teddy's vacation, and technology. We also learned that Melissa is a huge fan of shows such as Wipeout and American Gladiators.
