It was a little too chilly (51 degrees) for me to ride outside today so I checked Zwift and found the Zwift The Herd’s Saturday Rehabilitation Group Ride (D) starting at 11:10 AM. That gave me 30 minutes to get ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I had everything ready but after the ride started I looked down to get a drink and found the item I forgot, my water bottle. Maybe I could ride the 60 minutes without water but it turned out I found a place to run to the kitchen and get the bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ride is “gated” meaning that if you go faster than the leader and don’t get back behind the gate within a minute you leave the ride. Somehow I missed the gate and got in front of it (I wasn’t the only one). That is when I stopped and went to the kitchen for water hoping the gate would catch and I would not leave the ride. I saw a message that said 120 riders got in front of the gate and removed from the ride. When I got back with the water it appeared the gate did not pass while I was gone and now I was on my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a rehab ride and I continued on my own passing some riders while others passed me. Screenshots from the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
