Bkool marketing have got in touch, via @BILL S about how they can be of help in terms of improving our league experience. Better late than never I suppose. I have one or two ideas, being able to contact members, via email for example, would make it easier to get new members involved in the social side of things. If you have any ideas of how we could make things better then perhaps now is the time to voice those brilliant ideas and we'll see if we can make it happen.

I'd like to be able to see each stage profile before the scheduled ride. My calender never has anything in it either.
The app could have a calendar showing any league and scheduled rides so if I went on 345pm and noticed some other league had a scheduled ride at 4pm I could wait to do that one instead of a ghost ride.

All of the two! Leagues I'm in show all stages on my calendar on the last day of the month they are scheduled for. Do the Chaingang league ones show on your calendar for the 29th of this month? Stages are scheduled one per week and without a specific time. I could foresee your calendar becoming unreadably full if you were in 3/4 leagues and all their rides appeared. However, I think the idea of set race times is a good one that I think happened in the summer with the Movistar league. I took no notice as I was hypnotized by the beauty and attraction of the real world, did anybody do any and have feedback? The Chaingang group rides happen twice a week but the time is just an external confection. Perhaps @Brusgaard could give more info about the highly evolved Danish leagues.
I agree about seeing the profile of the rides before, a cheat is to copy the ride so it appears in your planned rides and you can then see the detailed profile when you go to it on the sim. The 3D rides do have a little profile in the picture for the stage in each month's league, the ones with video unfortunately have a screen grab.
Hope this helps /clarifies. Please dont think I'm an apologist for bkool. I like the product. It meets my needs very, very well and now it seems very stable, I've not had a problem for ages so let's hope it's not too late in the day and we might actually be able to grow it by enticing some of the zwifters back.
All said though I'll add more details of stages to the things we'd like to see for our league rides to my list of things fur bkool marketing, you don't ask, you don't get!

Yes they show on the 29th. If just like to be able to load the app and maybe click " live today" and any leaguess scheduled show on a tab.
Unfortunately our Thursday clashes with the main live ride which is a bummer. I like the sim though and the new update. Also the women's world champs time trial is a killer

Latest communication from bkool CMO

Let's start with this points:
  1. Send over all your stages from october and we'll try to boost the 3D so it's look nicer.
  2. The grupo outside Bkool is in Cyclechat? Could you send link?
  3. If you think we can enhance the participation contacting with other league admins from the UK, please let me know and I'll try to contact them. For us is key to have crowded leagues with 100 participants (as the danish colleagues). :smile:
I've sent links, let's see what happens. I've also asked where I should send the suggestions we have for improving our bkool experience.
