Saturday 1/20 Zwift Ride
With a forecast high of 24 degrees the weatherman is telling Bubba to stay inside and play games on Saturday. For anyone interested in sharing some misery, I am hosting a Zwift ride at 8:30 AM. In order to join up you:
1. Need to be a Zwift subscriber.
2. Have to follow me on Zwift (jim Shea). Feel free to discontinue after Saturday.
Please reply back to this email and be sure to include your name on Zwift. Late tomorrow I will send invites to join our Meetup with a planned session of 2 hours. We will allow late starters and early exits but unlike our usual rides you will not be able to outsprint the Bubba pack.
Otherwise you might want to get busy knitting that sweater (NC Blue of course) to give to Boss at his upcoming Hall of Fame induction.
