You need to get onto the challengesI've signed up to Bkool, Zwift and BRVR. Since I signed up to BRVR for a year I have used it exactly 0 times
I'm still working for the Tron bike on Zwift ..... don't want to waste metres climbed on BRVR when I can use these to get closer to the Tron
Once DD is over, and Tron is between my legs, I'll see where I am at that point 
I'm doing much more outdoor rides now the weather's improved. I've been doing both Bkool and Zwift for a while, but have currently let my Bkool subscription lapse, as I'm not doing enough virtual rides to justify both at the moment. I was also starting to get a bit frustrated with the inconsistencies I was experiencing with Bkool - one day flying along, the next crawling through treacle! Zwift is completely consistent for me. Also, with fewer people online in the summer, Zwift - with it's much bigger number of subscribers - always has competitive races to join, whilst the Bkool group can get a little thin on the ground this time of year! I like racing with people I know on Bkool rather than strangers on Zwift so I may well return to Bkool for some racing in the winter, but I do hope the annoying variance in results improves as you never know if you've had a good ride or just been blessed with an unfair advantage, and the same with your competitors. Zwift is also good if you like racing but need a bit more flexibility than the fixed times of the Bkool chaingang rides as there's plenty of different races scheduled throughout the day and evening so there's usually one to join at a time that suits.
Imagine us all racing up Alp D' together. Or a greater london loop.The latest Zwift update suggests closed course rides/races are coming. It may be a watopia day but race am organised crit on Richmond etc. Now if they will allow smaller clubs to form and make use of this

We raced up the Alp on bkool. We can handicap it-all the bkool users start last 
I got sucked in slowly. I got a Kickr trainer and was using this for both bkool and Zwift. Started first on Zwift for longer rides and still racing on Bkool. Couldn't compete on Bkool races against the fast riders so only joined in the handicap races. Once handicaps stopped I moved pretty much fully to Zwift. This coincided with Zwift running their 'tour' series - firstly a Tour of Zwift, then Tour of California and then Tour of Belgium. Zwift also added the Alpe du Zwift section (basically the Alpe D'huez so this has been a real draw. In addition, the Ziftpower website (which shows race results) improved and enhanced the racing experience and rankings. I'm enjoying the group ride/races on Zwift - a different experience to Bkool but once you learn the tactics it's actually good fun. The good thing is, there is always someone your level in a race so you're never alone - like the good 'ole days on Zwift. Please don't tell @bobinski any of this though, he'll only start to preen and say I told you so

Must say though, it's taken me probably 18 months of flicking between Zwift and Bkool to get to this stage. I think the recent Zwift changes have helped the transition across and without the new courses and 'tours' I'd have probably got bored again with Zwift and gone back to Bkool. For me anyway I think there is enough variety on Zwift to keep me engaged.
