Did you get a puppy? The black dog on Strava acts like a puppy.

 

[Breedon]

Yeah cocker spaniel she’s 14 weeks and her recall is 99% the other one is 2 years old

You don’t know yourve got a pup till it’s either burrowed its way thru your sofa , sh!t on everything you hold precious , wiped mud on all walls about 2,high and turned the garden into a war zone - want to swap ?

It looks like they’re looking at the ring leader to find out what the next plan is!

That was what I expected. Had hoped each individual member paid the reduced price, as sending money across the (small) pond to an individual is likely to cost a (bank) fee which might negate the saving.

Just catching up after a week away. Does anyone know how the Rouvy annual fee + pause works? I rarely use the trainer from Apr-Oct so if I pay an annual fee for the saving but pause the sub in April, what does Rouvy do - carry over the credit until October at which point I pay 50% of the annual fee?

I was researching this bit when I was actively looking for people to take up the annual group ride subscription.

When you pause :

1) 20 Kms per day limit applies.
2) loyalty, progress & points are saved.
3) You cannot cancel when on pause but your billing is adjusted when you unpause.

Those were the replies I got from ROUVY. Hopefully of some help…

I don’t like to brag, well I guess I really do, but I’m way ahead of you guys with 138 minutes.

That too early bragging could be your biggest mistake Randy, I haven't done my move yet.

Thanks @Breedon . I like the workout. The last 1 minute caught me off guard. I expected another 30 second at max.

On another note I found my kicker core works way better on this connection.

 

[Breedon]

The last minute is in case you have anything left in the tank 😉, I didn’t even finish the last part, made a new workout last night while wide awake in bed

Hoping some of the more experienced Rouvy guys can assist with a couple of queries. When I've been riding in bigger groups i seem to get rapidly overtaken when going uphill and then gain places going down or on the flat, i.e., pretty much the opposite of my experience on other platforms to date. Why is that? Is it that with few Rouvy spondies i start on a lousy heavy bike? Maybe it's down to a week of pizza and friggitori in Naples? Is it the reality setting?

I also find the in ride time gaps bear no relation to the result at the end. On the ride earlier today I was 5 mins behind the leader in ride but only 30" or so at the end?

I noticed on my Kickr core on the steeper hills the speed and watts dropped . I kept checking the realistic setting and was always 100. h today halfway on my ride I looked at the connection. It made an immediate difference. The connection was called ant with a symbol of an indoor trainer on the back. See my post above.
