For the future what does everyone want to do?
Rouvy is better but My Whoosh is free.
And time and day or days if you want to copy the Bkool format with Thursday and Saturday.
I’m really available most days. And times.

Who already has Rouvy? It are planning on switching?
I’m really going to miss Bkool after 12 years.

I'm set up with Rouvy, and think that I will stay with it. I'll probably cancel my sub with BRVR and pause Rouvy over the summer. That way, the cost is not so much an issue for me. The previous format suits me. Not sure that I will miss Bkool too much if Rouvy has fewer bugs! It would be good if this group keeps going though...

Sounds like we are all on Rouvy.

Sure, might as well try it. Skipped the introduction ride, so bear with me if I mess something up.

I did sign up for the ride, so I guess I will get some sort of notification in-game, or what?

 

[Randyberlin]

The three of you ride ahead. I’ll follow way behind to pick up your water bottles.
Seriously I’m not able to keep up. So please don’t wait up for me.

Hi all, trying to work out who I am. Am I the dude that's faffing with the bike with less than a minute to go?

Did you check your tires?

 

[berty bassett]

How did it go ?

How did it go ?

Fine! Some features missing from the other platforms, like in-game (text) messaging, some of the BKOOL metrics (remaining distance of a (uphill) section) and of course no 3D roads - just video. The bikes also look a bit too oversized and older (thinner) frames. However the bikes on the Rwanda roads looked older - like 60's/70's bicycles. Most of them loaded with big bags, bananas or wives!!!
