The Route
If today's outside weather favours an inside ride, we'll be exploring Rouvy's Avenue of the Giants route.
Rouvy estimates that riding the complete route will take approximately 1 hour and 28 minutes. However, participants should feel free to ride for a shorter time if preferred.
The Rouvy rubber band will hold the group together.
Rouvy uses a percentage number to indicate the average grade of routes. 1% (2%, etc.) means 1000 (2,000, etc.) climbing metres per 100 kilometres. Today's full route is a 1% route. For comparison purposes,
Rouvy's version of the climb of Alpe d'Huez is an 8% route.`

The Rouvy Rubber Band
In order to stay next to the ride leader in a Rouvy group ride, you must produce the same effort/watts as the leader:
when you produce less power and start losing distance, the Rouvy rubber band will kick in and pull you forwards towards the leader
it works the other way too. If you produce more power and ride faster, the rubber band will pull you backwards towards the leader, although you'll still be expending extra effort
Your distance from the leader will be shown on the screen (metres behind or ahead), as well as the power numbers (w/kg) of the riders in the group.
