Wanna do something really scary this Halloween? How about checking your wattage, then glancing over at Tour de France Champ Tadej Pogačar’s numbers? No WorldTour contract needed for this event; MyWhoosh offers an easier option.
On Saturday, October 31, MyWhoosh is hosting a live community ride with Pogačar that’s open to anyone with an indoor trainer and a MyWhoosh account. The ride is free, has no rider limit, and for every participant, MyWhoosh will donate $1 USD to the Tadej Pogačar Foundation.
The ride will last around 90 minutes, with Pogačar appearing live inside the MyWhoosh app for a Q&A during the session.
MyWhoosh Ride With Tadej
If you’re good to go, the community ride starts at:
9:00 a.m. CET / 8:00 a.m. GMT / 4:00 a.m. EDT / 7:00 p.m. AEDT (please triple-check the time)
Yes, that’s an early alarm for us riders on the U.S. East Coast, but at least you don’t have to travel to Europe to get dropped by Tadej. Also, there’s no advance registration. The event will appear in the MyWhoosh app exactly 60 minutes before it starts. Riders need to log in, head to the events page, and join the ride.
Don’t have MyWhoosh? MyWhoosh is free to download, so you don’t need a subscription to participate.
$1 Per Rider Goes to the Tadej Pogačar Foundation
The ride also has a charitable side. MyWhoosh will donate $1 for every rider who joins to the Tadej Pogačar Foundation. Founded by Pogačar, the organization raises and distributes resources to people affected by disasters and to children battling illness. That means just showing up adds another dollar to the donation total. You don’t need a fundraising page or an additional contribution to make your ride count.
The more riders who join, the bigger the donation – so do your part.
Live Q&A With Pogačar
Pogačar won’t simply be an avatar somewhere up the road. He’ll appear live in the MyWhoosh app during the ride for a Q&A, and riders can submit questions during the session.
For anyone already spending the fall and winter riding indoors, it’s an easy excuse to switch up the usual trainer session and ride with one of the best cyclists of his generation. Or, depending on how seriously you take the pace, try riding with him.
