I could start it today but I have no idea what the start quirks are these days for example the countdown problems and so on. Anyone riding tonight actually know how to get he race started properly seeing as our main men are not riding?
Bill on Thursday I kept pedalling for the ten minutes coming to a halt 20 seconds before the countdown ended but the as close to 10seconds to go I clicked on the button which gave me the option to start and a ten second countdown then started. Hope this is clear. I never know these days what is going to happen so I keep pedalling just in case and after last week's fiasco now realize that you need to actually start the ride rather than just letting the clock tick down to zero.

I will be MIA today.
I slept in this morning after celebrating my 60th yesterday and I have some 'jobs' to catch up on.
I will update those interested on my tech help session loading trainer FW yesterday.

Keith or anyone else, do you know if I can test this with a solo ride? All solo rides I've done recently have seemed completely normal and started a countdown as soon so I stopped pedalling. Another curious thing for me is that that thursdays ride turned out to be a video rather than 3D. Did it run as a video for everyone else or did I just have the wrong setting? My Internet is not good enough for video so it locks up and runs like a 2D ride.

My default setting is video. So if I want 3D I hit the right arrow key on my keyboard.

Ci vediamo lì!

Puoi vedere alcune / la maggior parte delle nostre precedenti gare sul mio canale Youtube e forse avere un'idea di chi seguire / battere ... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMIuSlmmx2SyDgAng35bJ_w

Thanks Randy. I'll see if I can change that setting.

I did say FULL GAZ, didn't I??? :laugh:

I'm sure you would fit right in with @Randyberlin, @Goldwolfie and maybe @Bored Man on some stages. There's plenty of room at the back for one more. ^_^ Racing only makes you stronger, and before you know it you'll be Active 1!

The route is only available in video (and map :smile:).
Thanks for the clarification Brusgaard. I also figured out how to start the ride if necessary. Thanks Randy. So I will start the ride tonight 5pm uk time. That's warmup start time. Also there seems to be a new download to be done. That'll be after the ride if I have the energy to push the keyboard still. Not expecting much of a turnout if any.

Hi @inesfra
Yes I was Amateur 8 beginning of 2019 then Amateur 10 in December 2019, these guys beat me up every week😭:heat: till I was Active 1. :okay:

@BILL S I should be there to join you at 17:00 ish, don't worry if it doesn't go smoothly.

@BILL S good fun trying to get drafting to work, for some reason Bkool just flashed and logged back in again about 3/4 of the way through, by the time I rejoined I was so far behind I couldn't get back to your wheel.
Without the 3D view I found it harder to judge distance, we have to rely on that ranking table which keeps cycling between distance and time, the distance view seems to be best to work out closing speeds etc.
Thanks for setting it all up. :smile:

Thanks for a really good race Andy. If you hadn't had that problem I think you'd have beaten me as I sensed you were the stronger. Great drafting and I think you helped me beat my Thursday time by a minute or two.
