Zwift Greater London 8 Virtual Ride Tonight at 6:00 PM
I submitted one yesterday for 6:00 tonight, April 16th....has not been approved yet. I run weekly rides for the Team Red White and Blue Veterans group and am opening it up for NYCC members. It is using the stay together feature, where no one gets dropped. If you want to ride tonight, you have to first follow me on the Zwift companion app - Hudson Hartmann (Team RWB). Then I can send you an invitation for tonight's ride. We are riding London tonight.
It would be helpful if you had (NYCC) after your Zwift user name, as the stay together feature only let's me invite 50 of my closest friends, and I have to scroll through a lot of names. Or send me an e-mail at [email protected]

So many people we ride with have asthma.
This is heartbreaking. He's NOT ill, but please think of our courageous, kind, and giving Dr. Ed, medical director of Woodhull.
Please think of, and, although he is well, even fear for our Dr. Ed, the medical director of Woodhull Hospital.

Elevation Differences
I questioned Ride with GPS why their elevations was different than Garmin Connect and Strava on my ride. Below is the response.

Libby Schaaf, Oakland Mayor, My New Hero
As Spain, France, Italy and other countries disallow cycling for fear of accidents that would stress the hospital system, Libby agreed with the concept, but not the approach, and instead has banned motorists from 74 miles of streets in Oakland (save of emergency vehicles) so cyclists and peds can have safe space to social distance and exercise. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/04/10/coronavirus-oakland-banishes-cars-from-74-miles-of-city-streets/
