i'm going to sit on the line, don't see a way to monitor time

If you search for the ride, you can see time elapsed before clicking on it, so I think plan is to watch time from there and click on the ride to join it at appropriate time elapsed. Obviously will use a few seconds up while putting in password and clicking "no"

you can see the time countdown on the ride selection/filter page

Thanks guys - see you on the other side!

Tablet version won't allow me to spectate, perhaps because it's a league not live ride?,nor does it show countdown.

I think there is a bug, I missed it listed on live. I searched it through filter. I wouldn't let me join saying it needed a password. There was no way to enter a password. I gave up and just did a live ride first I found

 

[berty bassett]

found password in settings but couldnt work out time so i guessed 8 mins but havent got a clue really

 

[JLaw]

Entering the password is hokey at best. I clicked on join, claimed I didn't have the right password, clicked a few more things, then it gave me a password box. Strange. Will look at the suggestions for watching the elapsed time for next week's ride. Just waited on the line this week. Now excuse me while I pass out...

May I suggest dropping password. I know sometimes some else starts the race(spoiler). But if we know who is starting race then that should be good enough

I had exactly the same experience as @JLaw above Andy - thought it was me being stupid but maybe not!

Same here waited for 10 mins to go then struggled with password then got in , kin hard that was but enjoyable nether the less , fair bit of time chasing Martyn then battle at the end with Bill

 

[BILL S]

Yeah, start was rubbish. I forgot there was a password and couldn't get into the ride then when I realised I needed a password I couldn't see where to type it in. Probably got started a minute late but Bridgy started even later. I held on as long as I could Paul, but you're too strong for me at the moment.
Darren, you were my final goal and it was touch and go there for a bit. I think you almost got me back on the line.

edit: And yes, it would probably be better without a password even with the random joiners in.

The password was the end of a catalogue of errors for me

• Go on line
• Come out and find session with elapsed time
• Start warm up - b@@@@ flat tyre
• Change bike, which also has trainer tyre on
• Bugger need Bkool skewer
• Get from old bike and put on
• Bugger - put it on wrong way round
• Switch it and put bike on trainer
• Jump on and start warm up
• Bugger - where's my water bottle
• Get off, go in kitchen, can't find and then realise on bike with flat tyre
• At 10.40 to go commence password struggle

Apart from that it was a great ride and I really enjoyed it
Tried to keep @Tiny01 at bay for as long as I could and then had really good battle with @Insomina

Thanks for waiting for me at the start Bill - yeah I had a right faff trying to do the password and get into the ride. Sorry for not sticking together for longer.

I think my improved speed on the last couple of rides is down to a recent tyre change - the old one was getting really ragged - I hadn't noticed quite how bad it was! Definitely can feel the benefit

Good ride though @JLaw, I enjoyed the chase tonight and likewise was well shot at the end.

So who likes the new BSim GUI then.
Just to prove that bullshit does baffle brains after all!
