Wahoo wants you to shred with Mountain Bike Stars – Wahoo’s month-long Shred Sessions aims to bring together mountain bikers who are either stuck inside, or just confined to solo rides. Big names in all types of mountain biking will come together while many great trails & bike parks are closed to ride together while social distancing.

The Wahoo Shred Sessions kicked off last week and will continue every Wednesday and
Saturday in May, with three different ride times available so riders in most time zones can join in. Every ride will feature a different Pro mountain biker as ride leader, who can chat with those on the ride and will maintain a “civil & inclusive” group ride pace.

The weekly rides are meant to be social, but the month will end with a full-on mountain biker’s “Royal Rumble” to give everyone the chance for a proper virtual race, even if it is still just for fun (and bragging rights!) On tap to lead rides will be: Troy Brosnan, Brook Macdonald, Noga Korem, Sam Hill, Richie Rude, Jerome Clementz,  Anita and Caro Gehrig, plus a total of over 50 other XC EWS & DH pros. Complete information on the rides, including a separate list of times in other times zones and instructions for signing up, can be found on Zwift.com
