I need to try and start at the 0:01 mark and see if that makes a difference. I've found that I'm usually one of the last away but it's probably just lack of practice at a fast start.

Good morning Keith.
Could you please give me this clarification?
The group In Bkool, of which I am an administrator, has reached 100 members.
But I get complaints from other new users who want to sign up but can't sign up.
Are there things to do when you reach 100 members, or is the problem of a different nature?
Thanks Keith.

I will join tomorrow night's ride. How does the start work? It's there something automatic, countdown at the start line or so, like in Zwift? Or is it a matter of having my own watch on time and go? I'm used to start a ride and have the 10 min warm up that you can interrupt yourself and start.

At 5 pm UK time (or 8 am Alaska time) search for whoever is starting it. Check this tread to see who it is. Then you'll see the starting line up with a 10 minute countdown. The race starts at 10 after.
See you on the line!

Hi, I'm sorry but I haven't encountered this problem. However, when I took over as Admin of our group there were already over 100 members. I do know that there is a limit on the number of admin within a group which is causing us a problem and which I am pursuing with bkool. I would suggest you ask any user who cannot join to send a screen grab and then raise it with bkool and wait, and wait and wait for a reply. Personally I am sick of their pathetic customer service and have decided to make a nuisance of myself by contacting them every week to hassle them on the currently three outstanding issues I have with them.

Just to add to @Randyberlin reply when you search for whichever one of us is starting the session in the route name or nickname box make sure you then click on the person option, the second below the box once you've typed the name in, that way the result will show you the session that that person has started. We do it this way so that everybody is in the same session. The 10 minute countdown starts from whenever the starter has started the session so if you were to join tomorrow at 18:02 cet then you should see that there is still 8 minutes of the countdown left. It's easy once you get used to it but best to do it as close to 18:00 as you can to begin with in case you mess up (as we all did at first!). You can then pedal, or not, until the countdown ends at which point we all fly off the start line like startled rabbits. Be prepared to go hell for leather at the start and keep that level going for a little bit until things settle down by when hopefully you'll have somebody's wheel and can take turns drafting with them until you drop them in the last 500m. Yes @perswe i'm looking at you.

Thanks Keith! I'm wondering what I'm left to do in Bkool .... Every time there is a problem and as a group administrator I'm going crazy because I want to solve the problems of users who want to join. But I am always putting off the moment when I have to write to the customer service whose efficiency I already know ... But how can they be so poor!
Ok, I have to contact them, and I already know that I will have a rotten liver!
Thanks Keith !!!

Guys,
Just a thought, stage four of December's league are scheduled for next Thursday (Christmas Eve) and then Saturday (Boxing Day), when people might be busy, stuffed, travelling or just drunk!. The league runs until 29/12 so what do people think about moving next week's rides. I'd suggest the same times but on Wednesday 23/12 and then the rerun on Sunday 27/12. Let's see if there is a consensus.

I should be up for 23rd - even though it is missus birthday - she could well be happy to see the back of me for a bit
As for the mad dash starts , I don’t know if it is because of the neo but I have found I can start to pedal as soon as it goes from 2 to 1 - I haven’t tried from 3 to 2 as I am scared it could well leave me false starting

Weird. On my Neo I have to wait a beat or I get the - jumped the gun stall until it stops. That explains why you're a little bit faster than me. Well that and the crazy Born Slippy song.

I’m OK with the proposed dates/times.
Don’t start pedalling between 3 and 2, it WILL result in you getting stuck on the line!

Most if not all of the regulars have said they are good with the proposed day changes for next week so THEY ARE CONFIRMED. WEDNESDAY 23/12 AT 19:00CET AND SUNDAY 27/12 AT 18:00CET. It's a gorgeous stretch of the beautiful Costa Brava, north of Barcelona, worth doing twice, once 3d and then the video. See you all next week. I won't be there tonight, early Christmas dinner with friends as our curfew starts at 22:00 and then restaurants will be closed next week,hope everybody else is safe.

One of my co-workers husband just won a competition with this pineapple jalapeno beer. It doesn't sound very good.
The winning Barnaby Brewing beers are: Third Anniversary Tequila Barrel Aged Pineapple Jalapeno American Sour, which won gold in the tequila barrel aged beer category; Berry Fresh 2020, Blackberry & Raspberry Saison, which won gold in the Belgian style fruit beer category; Whatever Forever, which won silver in the German hefeweizen category; and Hey Victor, which won bronze in the smoked/rauch beer category
