So how do I ride one of our league rides, if I missed it "live" but also race against all your ghosts and it still counting as my league ride? I seem to be able to do one or the other but not both i.e. Race against ghosts or set a league time. I want to do both at the same time!

Most people challenge me (or another rider) that has ridden a league ride. You get the ghost and a league time ^_^

I'm pretty confident that if you click on one of our rides and then click on the course you can then view rankings and from there go onto challenge and then it will count as a cyclechat ride - well that's what I did on the bkool summer cup

Paul, you can't add ghosts to a ride and make it count as a league ride as you've discovered.

The only way I know is to go to the league table and select the ride you want to do, which lists the current times set by those who have already completed it. Pick someone you think would be a good challenge for you and click the challenge button beside their time. Hope that makes sense!!

Bloody hell Bill! :notworthy:
LOL Sorry It's been a hectic day and only had a 6pm slot to do my ride. Seemed to have the energy this time though :smile:. I managed to watch you guys for a bit earlier and I thought you rode a very strong race right up at the front Bob. Rick too of course as expected.

'You have been challenged and beaten'

Bill ya git! :surrender: :biggrin:

Well done man!

Sorry Rick. ^_^ I couldn't help bringing a bit of mischief into the chain gang like the old days:smile:. After watching you all I was desperate to get out there. Bloody hard it was too with you on my tail.

Still seems a bit surreal to be counted as a competitor these days compared to last season. :hugs: I still have it in my head that I'm mid table material (and in mountain goats I guess that's what I still am! Lol:sweat:)
Not sure I'll ever get up those hills quickly. Not losing any more weight!! :training:

I was consistently able to get league rides with ghosts (including non league riders) last time through. I'll make a point to document how I did it next time I figure it out again. It's far from obvious.

Good for you Bill. I had a bit of EPO for my knee, some ibuprofen and it worked! In fact post ride no issues with my knee at all. Hurrah! And I think I have learnt I need to warm up properly. Did 2 rides immediately beforehand and I am pretty sure they helped. Must remember that and build in the time before any league rides. Other than that just buried myself cresting each rise and tried to sprint a ways down before using the descent to recover. Like Rick said, yo yo riding!
