LET’S HAVE IT! 🤘 Come join our weekly Zwift Club rides - link in bio! . Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday @gozwift rides! Everyone is welcome to join… let’s have some fun and get them GAINZ! . TUESDAY FTP BUILDER! @ 19:00(gmt) It’s time to put the work in… each week we will be aiming to push your limits with a workout aimed to boost those FTP numbers… Come get involved and watch yourself get stronger each week. . WEDNESDAY SOCIAL RIDE! @ 19:00(gmt) Social pace night (banded together) The main aim of these rides will be to keep things easy and sociable… not only to allow for a wider range of capabilities to get involved… but if you’re looking to get stuck in on Thursdays ride, have yourself an active rest day and use this ride to get to know your riding buddies. There will also be some “optional” watt bombs being dropped… get involved if you fancy some sprint training! . THURSDAY CHAIN GANG! @ 19:00(gmt) Chain gang night (around 4w/kg) Come get stuck in and let’s empty those tanks! This will be a full gas effort… we work as a unit for the most part, let’s try keep things together and help keep the pack strong… and we will operate a sweeper up until the half way mark. There will however be a sprint finish with results, so the last 5-10minutes it’s every man/woman for themselves. Get stuck in and try take the glory. This will be a race format but the finish line is an imaginary one as the clock hits zero. . LATE JOIN is enabled, so you can join us up to 30 mins after the start time, with the event link. . Please help spread the word, invite your pals and be sure to tag us in anything you post… we like to see you suffering, so post on your story of you smashing those pedals and tag @faastcrew . .

🔥SUMMER BASH!🔥 Unfortunately we’ve had a pretty crumby summer here in the UK, but that won’t stop us seeing it out in style. . September 17th we will be heading out to smash it around some of the local lanes here in Essex. There will be 3 groups of varying paces to suit most people’s needs. . Group C being more of a social affair; aimed at you guys just wanting to enjoy the ride and Group A bringing the spice; for the guys that really want to rip each others legs off. Group B will be somewhere in between, medium spice let’s call it. . GROUP A (25mph+) GROUP B (20-22mph) GROUP C (16-18mph) . ALL ROUTES OVER ON THE STRAVA EVENT PAGE. Link in bio. . Rolling out at 9am from The Barge Inn, Battlesbridge, Essex, SS11 7RE. There is parking there, however it’s classified as “private parking” so park at your own risk. There’s also parking at Battlesbridge train station around the corner. . Please follow the link in bio to the strava event and say if you’re attending so we can get an idea on numbers. . COFFEE STOP. At The Snug in High Easter at the half way point. . CASH PRIZES. . FAAST CREW T-SHIRTS AVAILABLE AT THE END. New design. £30 each, cash only please. . THE FINISH. Will be at Skee-Tex, go past The Barge where we started and over the bridge, it’s on the right… this is where we will hand out the cash prizes and you can get hold of a T-shirt/ stickers. The Old Mill, Battlesbridge, Essex, SS11 8TR (Just look out for the FAAST flags!) . We hope to see you there. . FAAST CREW. . . . *we accept no responsibility for any injury that may be incurred from attending this ride, this is a group ride not a sanctioned event.* . . . #faast #faastcrew #chaingang #cycling #cyclingclub #cyclingcrew #groupride #essex #essexcycling

🔥SPRING BASH!🔥 Join us on the 2nd of April for some faast paced fun to kick off spring with a bang! There will be two groups to help cater for a wider range of abilities and also (highly requested) there will be a coffee stop. . MEET. The Barge Inn, Battlesbridge, Essex. Departing at 8:30am on the dot, so make sure you’re there beforehand and ready to rumble! The first 2miles will be neutralised, to give both groups a chance to ride together and get in a bit of a warm up… Parking: on-site or at the train station. . COFFEE. Coffee stop will be at the Blackmore Tea Rooms, for a quick bevvy and cake if you wish… this won’t be a long stop, we can have a more lengthy stop at the barge and eat some proper grub if you wish, once the ride is done. . THE RETURN. To mix things up, on the return… B-group will be sent off with a head start, and the A-group will be in pursuit. Let’s see which groups makes it back to The Barge first… place your bets. . A-GROUP. Route: 44.8miles / 2,022ft Estimated pace: 20-21mph Coffee stop @ 28.8miles . B-GROUP. Route: 36.3miles / 1,719ft Estimated pace: 17-18mph Coffee stop @ 20.3miles . (Links to both routes in bio) . Both routes are essentially the same, just the A-route has an extra portion bolted on… so if you are in with the A’s and find you have bitten off more than you can chew, the route splits at the 18.7mile mark (turn left for A/ right for B) feel free to hit the ejector seat button at this point and follow the B route to the coffee stop. . That’s it… any questions get in touch but otherwise, we hope to see you all there. . Thanks from the FAAST CREW. . . . (This is in no shape or form a sanctioned event, it’s a group ride… the Faast Crew will accept no responsibility for any injuries caused from attending the ride. Be sensible ride within your capabilities, don’t be a hero and of course, ride safe!) . #faastcrew #cyclingcrew #cyclingclub #cyclingevent #groupride #chaingang #cycling #cyclist #cyclinglife #cyclinglifestyle
