@Marino.g - Yes I’ve not been around since the October Chain Gang rides.
It’s decision time for me, as my Premium membership runs out today.
Unlike a lot of people on here, I’ve not had too many issues with the Bkool software to worry about over the last 2 years.
However, my one major gripe is that I no longer have the email address I used when I created my account, and I will lose all my historical data and stats, as I would need to create a new account with my new email address in order to receive the ‘bingly bongly’ emails of shame from you lot.
I’m not a software expert, but how the software was developed with a customer email address being the unique identifier for your account, beggars belief, or there again, perhaps not.
So where do I go from here:
1. At 66 years of age I’m finding it a struggle chasing you young ‘whipper snappers’ around the virtual world out there.
2. I tried Zwift on their free trial about a year ago, and didn’t really take to it. I thought it was a bit gimmicky and ‘busy’ to the point I didn’t really know what was going on – probably an age thing.
I have no intention of hanging up my cycling shoes just yet, and have signed up for a Beta account on Big Ring VR. I have ridden several of the rides on that platform, and have been well impressed. A good mix of rides and excellent video, and the transitions seem a lot smoother. It is still in development, so it is free at the moment – another benefit for an OAP like me. No racing as yet, but you can add up to 5 previous riders attempts to pace yourself against, so it does for me just now.
That is not to say I won’t be back at some stage in the future, and I will be keeping tabs on what you lot are getting up to on this forum, as it is a good laugh and an enjoyable read.
Also, I would like to thanks
@BILL S ,
@gbrown and all the other admins for setting up all the events which I have really enjoyed over the last 2 years.
Keep on pedalling.
