zwift-ride-your-socks-off-week-2Join road.cc on Zwift: ride your socks off!
We've been having fun organising our Ride Your Socks Off! series: we get to ride with you guys (virtually) and give away socks. After our four-week inital series we did a couple of meetups, but now the rides are back on the calendar. Tonight's ride is at 7pm UK time (GMT+1). Click here to join it.
How does Ride Your Socks Off! work?
It's pretty simple: we all ride round together, then at a set point there will be a sock givewaway (often 45 minutes in, or on the hour). The ride leader takes a screen grab and the person directly behind the leader at that point wins the socks. It's a chance to win something and an incentive to stay together.
Alternating D and C weeks
For our new 12-week series of rides we'll be alternating between D weeks, which are flatter routes and not as hard, and C weeks, which are a bit faster and hillier. All the C weeks are on routes that end with a climb, so after the sock giveaway you can go as hard as you like on the final push.
Join in!
If you're not on Zwift, already, read our guide on how to get started - you don't need as much kit as you think to try it out! If you're already signed up then sign up for the ride here.

It's standard to have a suspended sentence due to full prisons....
Only buy on Aliexpress if you can justify financially supporting intellectual property theft. In my personal opinion.
That might take out a few cows too, thus reducing the impact of the real scourge on public safety.
Perhaps you're running them at lower pressures / with extra weight? I've found they feel sketchy at least when cornering and I've had a few offs...
True ... but left to itself that notion tends to go the same way as instructing pedestrians, cyclists and SUV drivers to "share the road"!...
To be fair to them, it looks like a choice between that or a lot of sunken surfaces and ironworks further out.
...mostly among sports administrators, media, and cycling fans.
At what point will politicians realise that no amount of effort can really protect vulnerable users on roads and that to keep people safe automatic...
