RENSHAW’S RPP 2024 WINTER ZWIFT SHOP RIDES

[Mark]

WELCOME to the RENSHAW’S WINTER ZWIFT SHOP RIDES Info Page

HISTORY
Renshaw’s Pedal Project RPP's Meetup rides started on Zwift on the 15th June 2021, with the first of its Chop Off Tuesday Rides. Back then there were 2 rides a week with the 'No Drop' weekly social ride on the Thursday morning at 6:15am.
This 2021 inaugural series was a success, in fact due to the Covid Pandemic it was the only social cycling available. The lead to the “RPP Lockdown Special Zwift Event” on the 21st August 2021. Which drew riders across the region.
In 2022 and 2023 the ride has established itself on a Tuesday evening at 6pm, generally on a 20km course (such as Watopia Flat Route) with riders sticking together for the first half of the course before racing to the finish and having a crack at the sprint.
In 2024 the RENSHAW’S BIKES WINTER ZWIFT SHOP RIDES are back starting Tuesday 4th June 2024

Race 5 – Tuesday 2nd July 2024 – Tour de France Renshaw Shop Zwift Handicap
GET READY FOR THE YELLOW JERSEY ROUND!!!

WELCOME to the RENSHAW TdeF YELLOW JERSEY ZWIFT RIDE
Same Course as the first 4 rounds on the Watopia 20km course.. But this time no late starts, sorry
The plan is you wait on the start-line till your allocated start time. Attached are some the start times for people that have been riding the series. I will update this list as people enter. I will also message the start times on the start line.
Now it just a bit of fun, I can’t enforce these times, nor do I want too, in fact if you are not keen for a hard ride I am not that worried if you start earlier and take it easy, (but in that case don’t just race off and win-it)

Planned Start times for the Renshaw’s Winter ZwiftRide Yellow Jersey Handicap – can change.

1min CathyA, JoR

2024 RENSHAW TdeF YELLOW JERSEY ZWIFT RIDE:
Nice to get a Message from Mark Renshaw in Italy at the Tour de France prior to the start of his Renshaw’s Yellow Jersey Zwift Shop Ride over night (2nd July 2024).
Generally the Shop ride has a nice social start, but for the yellow Jersey round its flat out from the start, (mainly due to the handicap start, and the opportunity to set a shop record).
At the end of lap1 Rosie and Jo were having a great battle in front, followed by Fran and Gary riding together. However, charging through the field, (sitting on 300+ watts) Harrison stormed to the lead for impressive win. Also finishing strong was Fran for second overall and the female Yellow Jersey from the unlucky Rosie who almost led from start to finish (ending up third overall).
