Join us for Smart Cycling (formerly Traffic Skills 101). This course is a fast-paced class that provides cyclists with the confidence to ride safely and legally in traffic or on the trail. We will cover the basics of bike maintenance, rules of the road, on-bike skills, and crash avoidance techniques. The workshop will start in the classroom for discussion about safe riding techniques, then we head to the parking lot to practice some on-bike skills.

Open to all Zwift riders Pace A, B, C, D, E (Zwift allows for all riders to stay together as long as you pedal)
Ride is not distance but time for at least 1 hour
This ride format in Zwift allows for no drop rides no matter what your level or strength or ability as long as you keep pedaling.

This ride will be mostly flat and thru Watopia. We can decide to change things up as we progress.
So for the next couple rides I like to do them as what Zwift calls a Cycling Meetup. so if you‘d like to participate I will do that but you will need to contact me with your Zwift name so I can create a meetup and invite you. I will do this ride Saturday and set it up. I will send you a Cycling Meetup Request if you call or text me. I prefer you text me your Zwift name so I can invite you. This ride will be a no drop ride where we stay together thru Watopia. any question contact me at 732-597-0399 Todd
