Virtual cycling platform ROUVY has rolled out a ROUVY Regulars race series alongside a number of virtual locations, together with usability improvements and a Virtual Group Leader feature.
According to the company… ‘ROUVY Regulars aims to reach cycling enthusiasts worldwide and to convince them that riding on a regular basis can help to build a positive habit.’
A wide variety of online rides and races have been prepared by the team at ROUVY to match a rider’s fitness level. Riders can choose from four categories: Hobby riders, Avid cyclists, Femmes and Triathletes.
Each category has a unique selection of rides and races taking place on a specific day and repeating every week.
ROUVY Regulars’ rides are led by a Virtual Group Leader and are focused on stable pace, motivation, and camaraderie. The main idea behind ROUVY Regulars is to provide everyone with a convenient structured schedule. The schedule for these events is set in advance in multiple time zones. Additionally, during the rides, riders can chat together via the Discord ROUVY channel.
The recurring scheduled events will take place through the northern hemisphere winter. To take advantage of the new features, the ROUVY app should be updated to version 2.19.0 or higher.
