Not that I know of, but if there's more than about 5 people it's probably started. Unless it's us!

The Fietssport december challenge looks like a good one, two nice climbs in the Pyrenees.

To Quote”the hitchhikers guide” that must be a different definition of “nice” I’m unaware of.
Just did a video ride with no stats showing. I’ve done if before but forgot how it is a whole other way to use BKOOL as a fake tour. Just looking at the road ahead for gradient changes etc.
Hit the arrow down a few times and forget about speed and cadence and watts. Just the joy of riding.

@shimceltic
On Strava today your ride looked incredible. That much climbing on a beautiful coast. Crazy.

@Randyberlin, the tour is good as they have the roads shut. They can't shut them all day so we are basically a neutral zone on the flats etc at a nice pace to chat. Once this climbs start people just do as well as they can and once a big section is complete we all pull in for refreshments and wait on others before hitting the road. It's not aimed at racers even though some of the climbers do blast it up hills (12km worth at a time) descending is also paced but if you are slower than the pace car up the hill by a few km you get plenty of space to speed Down and catch the group.
We all basically get back to the end point as a group. Met an Irish guy and an Australian who are the only other English speakers. We chat on the flats and lose each other up the hills.
Tomorrow is just a massive up hill...

Seems the bkool server is updating slower than me on a downhill stage. If you are waiting for s league ride to appear i will approve them as soon as they do appear.

@Randy I'm getting membership requests but have had no league rides to approve (including yours) for a couple of days, which is strange there's normally two or three every day and more on Thuirsdays and Saturdays obviously. Perhaps your immense power has broken bkool!

That is strange. It did take a long time for my ride to show up on Bkool. I did it again yesterday from the league rides.
Edit: just looked and they are in my history as league rides.

Better re-ride all of them. Explain to your clients and spouse you’ve got more important things to get done and you’ll get back to them in January.

Seems they are having, we guess, server problems. I got all of the Saturday league attempts to approve, except for Randy's. Since then I've had one to approve when I'd normally expect about 10/15, i suspect they have in fact been ridden but are not yet appearing for approval. Then on Sunday it took forever for my ride to register in bkool. I have also only had a couple of requests to join the league in they last couple of days when I'd usually have 6/7. As ever with bkool u nothing we can do but wait and see. If it doesn't resolve itself today I'll write to them but more out of a sense of doing something than expecting a solution.
