HOW TO SET UP YOUR ZWIFT RIDE WITH ROUVY

Certain routes slowly become favourites. Others rise in popularity because riders keep talking about them after doing these as group rides, races or major cycling events. Over the last few months, these are the ROUVY routes riders have been returning to again and again, whether for legendary climbs, iconic race routes or just because the scenery makes an indoor session feel far less like indoor training.

Indoor cycling workouts give every session a purpose, even when you only have half an hour. A well-chosen workout can build endurance, improve your FTP, prepare your legs for long climbs or sharpen the short bursts needed to close a gap. ROUVY pairs structured power targets with real-world route video, so you can complete the work while watching an actual road unfold ahead of you. These eight workouts cover a useful range of durations and training goals, helping you choose a session that fits both your available time and what you want to improve.

A ROUVY group ride is a scheduled virtual ride where you join other riders on the same real-world route. You ride together around a suggested pace set by a leader and stay connected as a group from start to finish.

If you take your cycling seriously and are committed to improving your fitness, then using a training plan as a key part of your routine is the best way to reach your goals and allow you to compete at a higher level. In this handy guide, you’ll find all you need to know about choosing the right ROUVY training plan.

Cycling has always worked better with company. A quick message before the ride, some encouragement on a climb and the mild indignity of seeing a friend one place above you on a leaderboard can all be enough to get you on the bike. ROUVY's social features bring those familiar group dynamics indoors through In-Ride Chat, Clubs and Communities. Here's how each one works and how to turn a new group into somewhere riders actually return to.
