Ride With Me on Zwift

Real rides. Real connection. Real fun.

Join weekly indoor cycling sessions led by Coach North — your no-BS guide to sweating, smiling, and staying sane on two wheels.


And the best part? It’s totally free once you’ve got Zwift.

What’s Zwift?

Zwift is indoor cycling meets video game.

You connect your bike to a smart trainer and ride through virtual worlds — from London streets to jungle trails. You’ll see your avatar riding alongside others… including me.

What you need:

  • A bike + turbo trainer (smart is best, but not essential)

  • A Zwift account (there’s a free trial — then a monthly fee)

  • A device to run Zwift (laptop, tablet, or phone)

Once you’ve got Zwift, riding with me is 100% free. No extra sign-ups. No hidden charges. Just hop on and join the fun.

What to expect?

45–90 minutes of movement that actually feels good

  • Music playlists to fuel your rhythm

  • Bite-sized mindset prompts

  • Quizzes to keep your brain spinning

  • No pressure. No drop. All welcome.

“I come for the sweat, I stay for the vibes.” — probably someone from last week’s ride

Meet Coach North

Who’s the guy yelling “breathe!” over house music? That’s me — Coach North.

Your in-ride motivator, accidental DJ, and occasional quizmaster. These aren’t hardcore sufferfests. We ride to move, laugh, reflect — and actually enjoy it. No FTP targets. No pressure. Just music, momentum, and mindset.

You bring the bike. I’ll bring the energy.

Important Note:

This is a social group ride, not a formal coaching session.

Everyone rides at their own pace and you join at your own risk. Please ride within your personal limits and listen to your body.

The leader and club are volunteers and accept no responsibility for injury, illness, or equipment issues arising from participation.

The screen includes motivational phrases, a mini map, and a rider profile with an estimated finish time.

Coach North’s Sunday Quiz Ride

07:45-9:15 AM UK, 08:45-10:15 AM CET

Looking to build endurance without watching the clock? This social group ride is the perfect way to make 90 minutes fly by.

We roll through two 30-minute intervals, each with a 30-second push at the start and end—just enough to add some spice without breaking the flow. But the real magic? The random quiz of the day. It’s the perfect excuse for great chat, friendly banter, and a few unexpected laughs while we pedal. Before you know it, you’re deep into the ride, your legs are ticking over, and the session is nearly done.

And because every great ride needs a great soundtrack, we’ve got curated playlists ready to keep the energy high. See below for the latest tunes and links.

Ride. Quiz. Have fun. See you on the virtual road!

Coach North’s Tuesday Thriving Ride

6:30-7:15 AM UK, 07:30-08:15 CET

Tuesday Mornings with Coach North

Join our social group ride on Zwift — steady effort, good company, and just enough challenge to keep it interesting.

We’ll ride together through a mix of intervals: some short and sharp, others longer and steadier. It’s about turning the pedals, keeping each other going, and sharing the miles.

Each session runs two weeks in a row so you can ride it once, then ride it again and notice the difference. Little by little, you’ll find the effort feels smoother, the breathing steadier, the legs that bit stronger.

The chat is open, the music is loud, and there’s always room for some laughs along the way. Drop into the conversation, share how it’s going, or just sit in and spin — it’s your ride.

Recovery isn’t just for the legs. It’s a mental reset, too.
