Can you tell me how to add ghosts please? The only way I know is challenging someone.

so you can challenge an opponent and this sets up the session. Then go to the 'sessions' section of bkool online (not the sim) and then click on 'scheduled'
Find the correct ride and then on the RHS there should be an icon under the 'edit' column. click this and then this takes you to where you can add ghosts and bots. Change the result time on the LHS and this may mean more bots appear. When finished click edit on top rhs.

I'm sure there are more experienced people who have done this however in the past what i've done is 'copied' the stage and then before editing the ride i've identified those people i wish to race against (ghosts) and then looked for their name in the list of cyclists and ticked the photo, this has added them to my ride, however this has been when i've ridden solo, am not familiar about doing for a group ride.

Copy from where?
Edit from where?
Assuming the ride needs to be in the "Leagues" tab to be counted as a League ride.

Thanks DP. I will try this.

Go into the winter league and choose stage 4. Then select the time/rider to challenge. This keeps it as a league ride in the sessions tab but opens up the edit function. Then add other riders as detailed.

Yes Bill - copy or challenge the ride from the League stage results and the edit from your scheduled sessions list to add ghosts as DP says. The ride will then be in your "Leagues" tab on the Sim as a duplicate of the standard league rde for that stage in there - except this one will have the ghosts included. You can check you're selecting the right ride from your league tab on the sim by clicking on "riders" and you will see the added ghosts for that ride (but obviously no ghosts on the standard league ride which will also be in your league tab)

Thanks guys. I've added 25 ghosts including the 1st (Jacob) and a selection at various levels which will hopefully help us.

Thanks for adding a selection of ghosts and apologies, with hindsight my reply could have been a liitle more informative

My last 2 rides were not saved in my activities. They are gone. Anyone else had this problem? If so, any idea why this is happening?

Great!

Am I right in saying that we've had problems before when ghosts have been added to a league ride with the warm up countdown finishing early? Might just be worth warning people about this possibility and have an action plan in place in case of early start?

Have you seen the queues on the start with these mega rider events, all piling on top of each other Will there be enough room up the first hill?

Hi Bill

When you say various levels, does that include tail end Charlie level?

This is a problem for a few and the rides do sometimes show up a day late.

Thank god, all ready thinking of 'excuses' to avoid tonight so it might be a little easier then brilliant.
