Was gonna do the featured ride tonight but had to take my 16 year old doggy to the vets to put her to sleep :cry:
Need to get back into it tomorrow
Sorry to hear mate. Our pets are part of the family so always really sad when we lose one :hugs:

Ok, new on me today. Started a ride, Tour cyclechat league stage 1 since you ask and i was the only rider. When I stopped pedalling and came to a complete stop the 10 second countdown did not start. I had to click on the icon on the left and then actually start the session. Has anybody else expewrienced this ? Will we have to do this to start the group rides?

I did a mighty massive 3km downhill effort :laugh: and it started after my warm up as usual

Yep - exactly the same for me tonight. I tried 2 different rides and both were as you described.

@keithaitch - BTW both my rides were League rides from different leagues, as yours was. So it looks like, for league rides, you have to either start the race manually (like we did using the Start button) or wait for the full 10 minute countdown to complete, when the race should start automatically - hopefully.

It sounds like nothing has changed for non league rides.

I can confirm that league rides start automatically after the 10 minute warm up, no need for the starter to actaully start it. Talking of starters I won't be able to make tomorrow evening's ride so somebody else will need to start it. I just did the stage and it anything but flat, up and down, often steeply all the way. The 16% kick at 3km can't be powered through, at least I couldn't! and there are two 2 digit kicks in the last 700m. Hope to be able to join the ride on Saturday.

I may or may not be able to do the ride tomorrow due to being under the weather. Probably best someone else starts it.
