ABOUT THIS RIDE
All riders are welcome to join Team dZi’s “European Watopia Rally” a moderate pace (2.5-3.0 w/kg) group ride for 5 laps of the Watopia Hilly course. The emphasis is on staying together and riding as a bunch and the leader does not exceed the stated pace, making it a great ride if you’re new to group riding. On the final lap KOM, riders are offered the option of racing to the finish, but as this is a long ride (almost 50 km’s) the group occasionally decides not to do this.
