![]() RoboPacers rotate through this set of routes, changing to a new route each week on Monday at 7am UTC: Not only do the RoboPacers hand out Rides Ons regularly, but riders in the groups do it as well! Many Zwifters have received their “Bigger Than Jensie” badge (100 Ride Ons) simply by hanging with Coco long enough… Route Rotation Schedule If you’re looking to get a lot of Ride Ons, there’s no better place in Zwift than a big RoboPacer group. Starting out: Drops Multiplier at 1.0 Next step: Drops Multiplier at 1.2 Chance of Thumbderstorms It will stay at x2.5 as long as you stay close enough to your RoboPacer. It takes 5 minutes to fill each stage, so after 5 minutes of riding close enough to a RoboPacer your multiplier will go from x1.0 to x1.2 (this means you’re earning Drops 20% faster than before.) 5 more minutes and it will go to x1.4, then x1.6, then x1.8, then x2.0, then x2.5. ![]() The big idea here is: stay close enough to the RoboPacer and your Drops Multiplier will increase, which means you’ll be earning Drops faster.

It provides a bit of a challenge to help us engage and learn how to manage our position in the virtual peloton – a useful skill for races and group rides. The Drops Multiplier game was created to encourage riders to stay close to the RoboPacers. This provides for a more natural overall pace, as riders on smart trainers instinctively boost their power on climbs and decrease it on descents.

It can be a little hard to see, but it’s the grey circle with a RoboPacer symbol inside. Here’s a little tip many Zwifters don’t know: when you click on a RoboPacer’s card from your home screen, a route map will pop up which includes the RoboPacer’s current location. The game will give you a little burst of speed to make sure you don’t get dropped right away, but it’s best to be pedaling/running before you’re dropped in the world so you’re already up to speed! Where Is the RoboPacer? Select the RoboPacer you want and click to start riding/running with them. Each Pacer’s card has details about what that particular Pacer is doing:
