With well over 700 cyclists now signed up to the Cycling Ireland Zwift Series, cycling clubs are also getting in on the act of virtual cycling.
Tomorrow morning - Saturday, April 4th - Omagh Wheelers is hosting a virtual group ride, with a difference.
This time the riders are not getting onto Zwift. Instead, Omagh Wheelers has decided to effectively hold a group ride using teleconferencing technology.
Each rider will be on his or her home trainer and can then log into Zoom for a virtual meeting with other riders in their homes on their trainers.

It gives those taking part the opportunity to connect with all of the others in the group, who can speak to each other during the ride.

Many of us will now be used to holding work-related meetings in this way. But this time around, instead of using Zoom for a group conference call, riders will use it to create a group ride dynamic.
